Did you see the Vita for the current editor?

Some of the points in the paper reminded me of Carol Dweck's research on growth vs. fixed mindset which I find more useful. http://www.dukegiftedletter.com/articles/vol8no3_feature.html
I hadn't seen her CV, no. Looks good, but it takes more than one editor to make a journal! (In my field a journal normally has a couple of dozen members of the editorial board. A submitted paper is assigned by the editor in chief to a member of the board. The member picks referees for the paper, synthesises their opinions, and recommends acceptance/rejection or revision of the paper. It's a lot of work, even for a board member. No way can one editor do that job for all submissions.)

Carol Dweck has some very interesting papers on her web page:

Thanks for pointing to her - I'd heard the name but not looked closely.
