In response to your letter of May 20, I have noticed a distinct improvement in the editorial quality of articles published in English in the Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan over the past decade. Many recent articles are indistinguishable, in terms of editorial style, from those appearing in American journals . The few remaining stylistic deficiencies are so minor and subtle, that in order to eliminate them you would probably need to have some help from a person who grew up speaking English, and who has had considerable experience in technical writing . Frankly, I am not sure that such a major effort and expense would be justified. Sincerely. 7f b l a ' h John M' Wallace ( 1978 P 7 ; : ' 7 : y h v7 ; :lUc) ) 25 ." 50 O In response to your inquiry concerning the English used in the Journal of the Society, I would like to state the following. I am in full agreement with you that the articles published in the Journal are of high quality and the Journal enjoys a high international reputation and good circulation. With the growth of the Journal , I also notice a great improvement in the English writing and editing of the Journal. I believe that the current level of English in the Journal is perfectly acceptable as an international journal. Undoubtedly it is not at the level of those journals from the countries where English is the native language . However , you probably cannot do that unless you maintain a large editorial staff to rewrite most contributions , which means a substantial increase in the printing cost. Given the high scientific quality and good editorial effort of the Journal, the level of English used in the Journal should be deemed satisfactory. In connection with the publication policy, I would like also to suggest that you publish some non-member articles if the journal volume can be somewhat . enlarged. It may be difficult to open the door to the general public: however, the manuscripts of non-merbbers may be conmunicated through men )ers for consideration. This, as you know, has been done by the Royal Meteorological Society, and I think is a good way to solicit overseas contributions . Sincerely yours , Ernest C.
