For the past 26 years, the American Diabetes Association and its professional constituents have had the great pleasure of working with Lynda ("Lyn") Reynolds, the director of the ADA Editorial Office. Lyn first joined ADA'S publishing team in 1997, when she was hired by editor in chief Charles M. Clark, Jr., MD, to help manage the peer review operations for Diabetes Care. Lyn took the helm of Diabetes Care just when the internet revolution was in the midst of reshaping and accelerating how scientists conduct, report, review, publish, share, and cite research. In 1997, the review processes for the journal still relied on the submission of hard-copy manuscripts and floppy disks for digital files, and Diabetes Care received 400-500 manuscript submissions per year. One of Lyn's first accomplishments was to customize and implement a new software program that allowed staff to track the progress of manuscripts, to quickly generate reports, and to speed up the review processes.
