FROM THE EDITOR
We continue to struggle against time with meager resources in our effort to get onto and to reach a better
publication schedule for CONNECTIONS . This issue, a month into 1991, is the last one for 1990 . We; hope to do
better with Volume 14, perhaps mailing Issue Number 1 in May, Number 2 in September, and Number 3 in December
.
If you have not paid your subscription for 1991, please use the form at the end of this issue : $30 for CON-
NECTIONS only, $80 for CONNECTIONS and SOCIAL NETWORKS . Expensive, but still a bargain, considering
all the valuable information on network studies you get in both publications . I think you will agree that there is no
other way to keep up, given the totally interdisciplinary nature of network analysis .
Please continue to send us notes on your activities and those of organizations to which you belong . If they are
to be helpful to others, we need them in a timely fashion . Even a relatively simple operation like CONNECTIONS
proves to require a lot of lead time before publication . Again, we are doing our best to cut it down so that we can
publish news and not merely history . Of course, there is nothing wrong with history . Since CONNECTIONS is not
ephemeral, it can also serve as historic documentation .
Finally, let me remind you that we are now developing a referee process for manuscripts submitted for publication
in CONNECTIONS . We have had no complaints about the quality of papers selected for publication previously,
but we believe there is some advantage to be able to assure everyone that articles are selected after peer
review .
