A Decade of Small

2014 marks the 10th anniversary of Small. The journal has grown from a monthly to a biweekly publication and has brought you the latest developments at the nano- and microscale. We're starting off the year with another great issue. The first cover of the year belongs to a paper describing use of graphene-based mesoporous silica for theranostics (J. Kong et al., Small 2014, 10, 109). The inside cover, depicting the use of hierarchical perfluoropolyether stamps for transfer printing (Small 2014, 10, 52) from the group of Kahp-Yang Suh, who passed away tragically last year. Chad Mirkin, founding editor and co-chairman of the editorial advisory board of Small was one of the authors in our inaugural issue and likewise has contributed a paper to the first issue of this celebratory year (C. Mirkin et al., Small 2014, 10, 186). Other board members contributing to this issue are Christof Niemeyer (Small 2014, 10, 73), who describes the use of tailored scaf-folds for DNA-Origami, and Markus Antonietti (Small 2014, 10, 193) who present a new route for the synthesis of graphene. Last year saw some exciting developments in our family of journals. Advanced Energy Materials received its first impact factor, an impressive 10.043. Advanced Healthcare Materials has had another successful year, while Advanced Optical Materials and Particle and Particle Systems Characterizations have shown tremendous growth in their first year. We will be launching Advanced Materials Interfaces this year, and the first articles are already available online. Last year we changed our submission system to Editorial Manager. We have received good feedback from the community and we are certain that our new system will help us continue to improve our service to you.
