在刚结束的CBIS会议上,笔者见到了著名杂志《Cell》的主编Emilie Marcus博士。受丁香园委托,笔者现场采访了Emilie Marcus博士。
会议其间与Emilie Marcus有多次交流,并听取了她给大家作的论文评审要求及注意事项。更让人高兴的是Emilie Marcus博士应笔者邀请,欣然为DXY的全体会员写了一段话。
《Cell》的主编Emilie Marcus博士
先介绍一下Emilie Marcus博士的背景,根据细胞杂志的资料:
Emilie Marcus博士93年毕业于耶鲁大学,拥有神经生物学博士,她在SALK 研究所和UCSD完成博士后训练,发表过多篇论文和10篇综述文章。98年她加入细胞出版社,担任细胞神经杂志的资深编辑,2001年升为该杂志主编;2003年成为细胞杂志总编,和细胞出版社的执行总编。
Cell Appoints New Editor
Cambridge, Massachusetts (8 October 2003) - The prestigious journal Cell announced today the appointment of Emilie Marcus, PhD, as Editor of Cell and Executive Editor of Cell Press, effective 1 November 2003.
"The search committee chose Dr. Marcus for her editorial vision and open-door, aggressive approach to the scientific community," said Lynne Herndon, president and CEO of Cell Press, the publisher of Cell and eight other peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Dr. Marcus earned a PhD in neurobiology from Yale University and conducted her postdoctoral research in developmental biology at the Salk Institute and University of California at San Diego. She was appointed Editor of Neuron in February 2001.
"I plan to build on Cell's original foundation of excellence - publishing scientific articles that have both immediate impact and longevity," said Dr. Marcus. "By presenting exciting, cutting-edge research in a format accessible to a broad readership, Cell promotes the kind of interdisciplinary thinking that is at the heart of the most important advances in science."
The many major findings published in Cell over the last 30 years include Dr. Robert Horvitz's seminal paper that identifies a genetic program causing cells to die and Dr. Timothy Hunt's work on the mechanisms regulating cell division. Both discoveries have led to recent Nobel Prizes. In the past nine months alone, Cell has published exciting new advances in many important areas, including how cells combat HIV infection and why HIV is able to overcome this defense mechanism in human cells, how embryonic stem cells retain the ability to make all other cell types, and how mammalian sperm recognize the egg.
"Cell papers have proven that they stand the test of time. They have launched many careers," said Dr. Marcus.
According to Nobel Laureate Eric R. Kandel, M.D., Dr. Marcus is a good fit for Cell: "Her judgment, high standards, and deep sense of integrity have brought the journal Neuron to a new level. It is hard to think of anyone more suitable to lead Cell than she."
As Neuron's Editor, Dr. Marcus is noted for expanding the journal's scientific scope, creating an open and accessible editorial office, and introducing new article formats.

丁香园代表与《Cell》的主编Emilie Marcus博士面对面交流
与《Cell》杂志主编面对面
作为生命科学领域影响因子最高的著名学术杂志,《Cell》杂志主编── Emilie Marcus博士这次也受邀参加了华人生命科学前沿研讨会,在为时三天的会议上,笔者受丁香园委托与Emilie Marcus博士进行台上台下,面对面地交流对话,很受启发。
访谈接结束后,应笔者代表丁香园92万会员和无数《Cell》杂志的读者们邀请,Emilie Marcus博士女士欣然答应为丁香园论坛写几句话,她的留言在文章最后部分刊登。
Emilie Marcus博士,曾经是《Cell》杂志的内审编辑,后来担任细胞-神经杂志的主编,2003年被提拔成《Cell》杂志主编和细胞出版(Cell Press)执行编辑。在她的主持带领下,《Cell》杂志在内容和领域上进一步扩展,扭转了发行量略有滑坡的趋势,在发表高质量论文,继续巩固提升影响因子方面做得很有起色。
Emilie Marcus博士看上去比想象中的主编年纪要年青好多,她的思路很活跃,待人很诚恳,没什么架子。她在整个三天会议中非常认真地听取了大部分学术报告,而且在会议茶息及休会之后,与许多国内外教授学者们亲切交流,笔者好奇地旁听了几位学者教授向Emilie Marcus博士介绍自己的研究成果,基本都得到她比较积极的肯定,并邀请他们尽快投稿给《Cell》杂志。
Emilie Marcus博士曾数次来过中国访问,对中国学术界十分友好,她对中国学者这几年在生命科学研究的成长和进步印象深刻,她告诉与会者,根据《Cell》杂志内部的统计,过去几年中国学者包括与海外华人教授合作的研究工作,在《Cell》杂志发表论文数目的年递增幅度是全球最高的,每年平均递增19%,比美国16%还高。
在被问及华人学者教授在《Cell》杂志发表论文的总体状况时,Emilie Marcus博士坦诚地回答,她并没有做过详细的统计,但根据她的印象,华人的论文发表数目和比例是相当高的。
据吴瑞教授估计,在美国华人生命科学家的总比例只有2%,但在学术界做教授的华人有10%,有关人士还提到,现在美国生命科学领域的华人教授从当初的几百名已增加大约2000名左右,还有大约3000名雄心勃勃、思想活跃的博士后正在申请加入学术研究的教研队伍,在美国每年几百个教授替补扩招位置中,所有竞聘申请者大约有20%是华人青年学者。在包括《Cell》、《Nature》、《Science》等著名杂志中,以第一作者或通讯作者发表论文的华人学者大约有20-30%,如果包括那些含华人非主要作者的论文,比例会更高。华人已经成为美国和世界生命科学领域中不可忽略的主力军。
