Submissions to the Journal of Propulsion and Power remain strong and continue to grow. In the period between 1 October 2013 and 30 September 2014, 386 manuscripts were submitted to the journal, which is up from 357 the year before. The portion of these submissions coming from the United States and Canada was 33%, whereas 27% came from the People's Republic of China; 18% came from Japan, South Korea, or India; and 15% came from Europe, leaving 7% to come from other sources. We turn next to acknowledging the services of the many individuals without whom the Journal of Propulsion and Power could not continue to publish high-quality papers about propulsion and power. We are indebted for the continuing services of the Editorial Advisory Board, whose primary functions are 1) to help define editorial policy and operation, 2) to provide advice to the Editor-in-Chief, 3) to promote emerging technologies and related research and development, and 4) to help recruit Associate Editors. The biographies and photographs of the board members, representing most, if not all, of the important disciplines in aerospace propulsion and power, are listed in the following pages, together with those of the Associate Editors. The contributions of these individuals in helping to maintain and improve the quality of the journal are gratefully acknowledged.
