The editorial board continues to provide sage advice in matters related to the journal. I turn to the board for critical input regarding a vast array of issues, such as change with the journal, potential ethical misconduct cases, and quality control. The members of the editorial board are also volunteers. The editorial board, listed on the journal's masthead in the front of the journal and on our web site, has international representation, which helps improve the relevance, quality, and access of the journal to a broad audience of educators. The diversity of the board continued to grow this year, with new representatives from South Africa, Latin America, and North America, to whom we extend a warm welcome.
The readers are the greatest source of input to the Journal of Chiropractic Education. Many of our improvements are a result of requests by the readership, and we value your feedback. The journal continues to evolve, and your participation is welcome. If you have an idea for the journal or would like to participate in some way, please feel free to contact me by e-mail ([email protected]).
