During his tenure (1987-1995), he was instrumental in incorporating author-prepared electronic manuscripts into the journal's editorial and publishing process, and he conceived and promoted an early version of the electronic status inquiry system for authors. 1352: 420:. Brown became fascinated with this new experimental procedure and with coworkers wrote many papers investigating the detailed workings of geonium. His work culminated in a long review article (Brown & 1367: 612:
