Ann is a joy for an author to work with. She not only understands the role of an editor, she takes time when working with authors... Indeed, on two occasions, I asked a major university press to employ her as my editor because I trust her comments, criticisms, and editing skills so much. She has never let me down.

Ann is a supurb editor and manager. Under her leadership and with her talents, the journal Problems of Post-Communism established itself as one of the leading publications in the field of post-Soviet studies. I can testify as both an author whom she has edited and as a reader of the journal that her work is first-rate.

Henry Hale, George Washington University

I had the good fortune to work with Ann many times as an author with PoC and with special projects. She is an outstanding professional editor of great competence. Having worked on the staffs of four jounals over the last forty years, I would hire Ann at the drop of hat. She gets things done, works well with people, even authors! And did very much to make PoC an outsanding publication in its fiield.

Jacob Kipp, Director, Foreign Military Studies Office

Ann was a superb editor at The Jamestown Foundation, and I have also worked with her through articles submitted to Problems of Post Communism. She was able to handle pressure very well, working to deadlines, and sifting through a great variety of materials on diverse topics. I found her a very careful and attentive editor who worked very well with contributors.

David Marples, University of Alberta

Working with Ann helped me significantly to improve my article, and her help has contributed to me winning an award for the piece. Based on my experience with Ann, I would say that she is the type of professional that brings out the best quality of work from those who work with her.

Ann Robertson contributed a number of articles to a recent encyclopedia produced by my company, MTM Publishing. She accepted the job at the last moment when we were under tight deadlines, and we deeply appreciated her professionalism, competence, and flexibility. Would not hesitate to recommend or hire her again.

Hilary Poole, VP, MTM Publishing

I have know Ms. Robertson and her work as an editor at the Jamestown Foundation and Problems of Post-Communism for many years. I interacted with her directly during the preparation for publication of my most recent article in PoPC. She was an extremely good and efficient copy editor as well as managing editor for the journal. She is also, as her published work shows, an accomplished Nirasand insightful analyst of the post-Soviet states. I would recommend her most warmly as analyst or editor.

Don Van Atta, Senior Agricultural Advisor, Nirus

During my time as Analyst at Eurasia Daily Monitor Ann was the best Managing Editor I had worked with. She has a deep knowledge of the region, always demonstrating keen understanding of the ussues and players involved. Her ability to cope with the fast pace of the work is exceptional as is her flexibility -- an indispensable quality needed to constantly reshuffle lineups.

Igor Torbakov, Finnish Institute of International Affairs

Ann is an inspiring editor and thoughtful reviewer. I first met Ann at the 2009 meeting of the Association for the Study of Nationalities conference in New York. She was the chair of a panel on which I presented. Ann provided excellent feedback on my paper and encouraged me to submit it, with revisions, to her journal for publication. Such an active role in the activity of young scholars is testament to her inspiration.

Richard Arnold, Muskingum University

I was on the editorial board of Problems of Post-Communism from 2004-11, which met every year to discuss the operations of the journal. She was always on top of everything, from strategies to attract high quality submissions, to details of our reviewing policy, to website design. She did a superb job at a journal, with the collapse of communism, had to create a new mission for itself, and succeeded in doing so. If I were starting up a new academic/policy journal or needed to replace a departing editor, I would surely want Ann applying for that position.
