Spectral lines: Who gets published? Part II: Transactions

As one might suspect, although there are some similarities in the way publishing decisions are made by the Editors of the Institute's various Transactions and the way they're made by Spectrum (Spectral lines, July, p. 33), there are significant differences too. Furthermore, there are important variations in review methods among the Transactions themselves. The salient conclusion may well be that procedures are seldom dogmatic in nature, but rather are tailored to the best interests of the Group or Society in question.
