He has published in primary literature journals including Science and the Journal of the American Chemical Society, and is listed in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World. Dr Meyers’ scientific achievements have been reviewed in feature articles in the popular press in publications such as \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Science Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e as well as more specialized publications such as \u003ci\u003eChemical Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCoal Age. \u003c\/i\u003eA public service film was produced by the Environmental Protection Agency of Dr. Meyers' chemical desulfurization invention for air pollution control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Meyers conceived and has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Academic Press (now Elsevier) \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e. This is an 18-volume publication of 780 twenty-page articles written to an audience of university students and practicing professionals. This encyclopedia, first published in 1987, was very successful, and because of this, was revised and reissued in 1992 as a second edition. The Third Edition was published in 2001 and is now on-line. Dr Meyers has completed two editions of the \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e for Wiley VCH publishers (1995 and 2004). These cover molecular and cellular level genetics, biochemistry, pharmacology, diseases and structure determination as well as cell biology.
