“Established in 1973, the journal has weathered its infancy,

period. The journal serves and is served by thousands of authors,
reviewers and editors. The journal is proud of the fairness and
timeliness of its review process, and is noted for its consideration
toward all prospective authors.”
“The journal’s success over the years is due to the support of
tens of thousands of researchers and leading scholars around the

vital. It is a real pleasure to acknowledge the excellent work of the
current team.”

partner with World Vision, and St. Jude’s School in Tanzania, helping
sponsor some of the world’s poorest children. The human potential and
promise of children is an ongoing commitment for the journal.”

protection into the future of our massive and always growing article
database. We welcome our partnership with CLOCKSS in this regard.”
