Abstract: Although the Senior Editors still handle manuscripts for all of the parts of JPC A/B/C, the new Deputy Editors are taking over functions for their respective Journals and, in turn, are providing a unique identity to each Journal.In particular, the Deputy Editors are now soliciting Feature Articles, organizing Special Issues, coordinating marketing activities, sponsoring conferences, and handling appeals and ethical violations for manuscripts in their Journal.We hope that by distributing these functions, the Journals can be better integrated with their respective communities and more efficiently managed.The roll-out of Letters is beginning its third year, and we continue to achieve our goal of providing the fastest and highest profile publication possible for authors in the physical chemistry community.Thanks to the hard work of the editors and their office staff, as well as others in ACS Publications, we continue to maintain a ∼40 day average time from submission to publication (includes pagination).We continue to have Perspectives in every issue (70 published in 2011) broadly discussing the developments and issues of an emerging research theme, along with Editorials written by editors or authors who are experts in the field.Also, many of the authors of Perspective articles have provided accompanying video presentations, and catalogs of the Perspectives and Perspective videos are now available on the JPC Letters homepage.Perspectives topics in 2011 included nanomaterials modeling, renewable energy, proteins, solar hydrogen, metal oxides, organic aggregates, clusters and nanocrystals, solvent effects, energy conversion, proton coupled electron transfer, amphiphilic soft materials, nanoporous materials, photovoltaics, structure and function in nanoparticles, quantum chemistry, biomass pyrolysis oil, graphene, bionanotechnology, and semiconductor nanocrystals.We thank our contributors, reviewers, and readers for making Letters such a successful addition to the JPC family.
