A New Era for Design and Technology Education Research

摘要

Since the publication of the last issue of the Journal, the Editorial Board has begun to explore development opportunities that will improve the distinctiveness, visibility and value of this International Journal for Design and Technology Education. The Board has agreed an updated 'scope' for the Journal, taking account of the broadening of contributions both from higher education, a more global spectrum of contributors and the uniquely broad and inclusive platform the Journal now provides. Board members themselves will take a more proactive role in development, for example in promoting the Journal and mentoring new reviewers and authors. A review of the expertise of the current Editorial Board has highlighted the need for an increased spread of expertise and also for the introduction of an additional panel of peer reviewers. Anyone interested in making a greater contribution as a peer reviewer or as an Editorial Board member should contact Liz Hegan, the Journal's Administrator in the first instance.
