Antarctic Journal of the United States, established in 1966, reported on U.S. activities in Antarctica, related activities elsewhere, and trends in the U.S. Antarctic Program. The Office of Polar Programs (National Science Foundation, Room 755, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22230; telephone 703-292-8033) published and distributed but in 2002 decided to discontinue publication. The decision to end it drew, perhaps ironically, from the success of antarctic science. NSF-funded antarctic research entered the mainstream, minimizing the need for a special vehicle to insure its reception in the broader community. And the Antarctic Journal was not peer reviewed; NSF's requests for contributions competed for time that researchers might have used to prepare papers for the refereed journals, where the work receives fullest consideration. A final issue will be published online in 2003. Currently the
following issues are available on-line:
