DAVIS, CALIF., January 6, 2016….The highly respected American Journal of Enology and Viticulture (AJEV) will soon have a sister publication that picks up where AJEV leaves off.

The member-exclusive, peer-reviewed online publication is slated for release in June 2016.
Catalyst: Discovery into Practice is a newly launched journal from the American Society for Enology and Viticulture. The American Journal of Enology and Viticulture (AJEV) is ASEV’s flagship journal, publishing novel, foundational research in areas underpinning grape and wine production. AJEV’s focus is research, with a mission of “research to discovery.” Catalyst will complete the continuum, with translation of research into practice, and will focus on extending fundamental discoveries in the scientific disciplines to sustain and advance winemaking and grapegrowing.
