Environmental Epigenetics Update and Boards.

Environmental Epigenetics, an Oxford University Press publication, just initiated its fifth year of operations with this Volume 5 Issue 1. We are a completely Open Access journal listed in PMC and PubMed, along with numerous other access sites. Environmental Epigenetics initiated its review to obtain an impact factor this year. Two special issues are planned this year in Epigenetics, Environment and Reproduction and in Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance, both associated with corresponding scientific meetings around the world. The amount and diversity of our published studies is increasing as the field of environmental epigenetics grows and expands. We are looking forward to another productive year and encourage you to consider submissions to Environmental Epigenetics. The heart of the journal has always been the quality and breadth of the Environmental Epigenetics Editorial Boards. This Editorial is designed to extend a profound thanks to the Editorial Boards. From the beginning the Editorial Board, Consulting Editorial Board, and Editorial Review Board have provided advice and insights into the development and operations of the journal and its review process. I personally want to thank all those Editors that have acted as managing editors and reviewers. Without the dedication, experience and hard work of the Editorial Boards the journal would not exist. The current members of each of the Boards are listed below. You will see an outstanding group of dedicated and hardworking individuals that truly are the backbone of Environmental Epigenetics.
