Editorial

摘要

This issue may well come as a surprise to some people because you will notice it includes nine articles instead of the usual five. The reason is an amendment to our pagination system so that we have some flexibility to add more articles if needed. This new variability is of especial benefit to authors because it will serve to reduce the wait time between final acceptance of a manuscript and actual publication. We will not always be including nine articles in an issue, this is not a precedent, but it does allow us to move through our waiting list of approved articles faster. We anticipate that the new policy will be pleasing to our contributors who have let us know their frustration with the somewhat long publication wait times they have had to contend with. At the moment, we are watching how things work out, but hopefully it will be of benefit to all parties. Sometimes our Editorial Board Members are invaluable. This is certainly the case with Michael Ahern who pointed out some serious inconsistencies and factual errors concerning a previous editorial I wrote for Issue 26,1. Thank you, Michael for your feedback. Since your work was some of the inspiration for the original editorial, it is only fitting that I pay attention to your observations.
