"Scientific Publishing at a Non-Profit Organization: or How to Get Your Name in Every Issue of JACS"
Presented by Sonja Krane, Ph.D.
Managing Editor, Journal of the American Chemical Society
Dr. Krane, will talk about working in the scientific publishing industry. In February 2006, Dr. Krane joined the American Chemical Society staff, serving as Managing Editor of JACS, the society’s flagship journal since 1897. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, she works closely with Editor-in-Chief Professor Peter Stang and the editorial staff to manage and streamline the manuscript submission and review process. Her responsibilities include evaluating manuscripts for their fit within the scope of JACS, adjudicating minor ethical issues, representing the journal in correspondence with editors, authors, and reviewers, and developing initiatives to sustain and enhance the standing of JACS at the forefront of international chemistry journal. Dr. Krane is an alumnus of the Department of Chemistry, receiving her Ph.D. in 2004 with Koji Nakanishi. Her graduate studies centered on the characterization of a variety of plant (Ginkgo biloba) and animal (slow loris, gaur) derived natural products, as well as the synthesis of retinoid analogs for investigating activation of the signaling protein Rhodopsin.
