Looking back and looking forward

It is just over a year since I succeeded Christine Raines as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Experimental Botany, a year that brought unprecedented challenges for all of us due to the Covid19 pandemic. Nevertheless, despite these challenges, I am pleased to report that the Journal of Experimental Botany has weathered the storm and seen a substantial rise in our Clarivate (TM) Web of Science (TM) impact factor to 6.992, reflecting the high quality of the papers published by the journal.
