There have been various changes over the last couple of years in our journal. However, some things remain constant. We will always maintain an interdisciplinary focus as an international forum for scheduling research across disciplinary backgrounds and boundaries and we will always welcome all kinds of scheduling research from the theoretical to the practical. In addition, our emphasis has always been on excellence. In our view, these features lie at the very heart of the journal and they will not change as long as we remain editors.One of the changes over the last couple of years has led us to publish 7–10 papers per issue on a regular basis. The reason for the increase in the number of papers is that we had to deal with a backlog of accepted papers that had become simply too much and that had to be reduced. Currently, we have reduced our backlog and we may want to go back to publishing say six papers per issue. The number of submissions is creeping up steadily and is now solidly over 200 articles per year; our target for the number of articles published annually is around 40 (in 6 issues). This implies an acceptance rate of approximately 20%.
