Martin Blume Martin Blume is Editor-in-Chief of The American Physical Society, on leave from his position as Senior Physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He received a B. A. from Princeton and a Ph. D. in physics from Harvard. Following a year as a Fulbright Fellow at Tokyo University and two years at the Theoretical Physics Division of the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, England, he joined the Brookhaven Physics Department. At Brookhaven he has served as head of condensed matter theory, Chairman of the National Synchrotron Light Source Department, and Deputy Director of the Laboratory. He has also held a joint appointment as Professor of Physics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His research has covered many areas of atomic and condensed matter physics, as well as the interface between condensed matter and nuclear physics. Dr. Blume has served on several editorial boards of journals and on numerous panels for the NAS-NRC, the Department of Energy, and the National Science Foundation, as well as on many Laboratory and University Review Committees. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the British Institute of Physics, and the American Physical Society, and recipient of the E.O. Lawrence Award in 1981 for his contributions to theoretical analysis of magnetic phenomena in neutron scattering and his scientific leadership in solid state physics. Since 1996 he has been Editor-in-Chief of the American Physical Society,
with responsibility for all of the Physical Review journals, Physical
Review Letters, and Reviews of Modern Physics, which are among the most
prestigious in the world of physics publishing. Dr. Blume frequently writes
and speaks about the challenge of electronic publishing and associated
questions of intellectual property, archiving, peer review, the dual role
of paper and electronic media, and the economic questions of cost minimization
and recovery.
