在最后一期的研究中，我很高兴地宣布，未来该杂志将在网上提供。事实上，该杂志最近三年的内容现已公布。这一版让我有机会指出另一个创新。编辑委员会的工作将首次得到国际咨询小组的加强，该小组的现任成员已列入名单。这一变化的原因是什么？到目前为止，编辑委员会一直认为自己是一个工作实体。董事会成员在政策制定、裁判和书籍审查方面发挥积极作用。我们一年见面三次，政策是三振出局。换句话说，如果你连续缺席三次会议，你就被视为辞去了董事会的职务。在许多方面，这限制了成员资格。除了Stephen Brookfield先生每年出席一次会议外，我们认为要求海外同事担任董事会成员，同时又规定出席董事会会议，是站不住脚的。然而，研究已经成为一个日益国际化的期刊，在作者和读者方面。我们不会也不能声称是全球性的，但尽管如此，多年来，该杂志已经成为越来越多的研究和研究人员对成人教育感兴趣的焦点。因此，为了反映我们的国际地位，我们设立了一个国际咨询小组，根据其作为作者、裁判和书评人对研究的现有支持，邀请了该小组的成员。IAG的作用是促进研究并鼓励对研究的贡献。此外，将要求成员填写年度调查，评估期刊特定卷的优点和缺点。这项调查将纳入编辑委员会的政策讨论。IAG目前的成员任期为三年，我们将寻求随着时间的推移增加成员。我想亲自欢迎加入IAG的同事，我知道董事会期待着与你们在未来的合作。所有这些创新都是在我担任编辑的最后一年开始时发生的。在上一期的《研究》中，我宣布我们正在寻找一个人在今年年底接替我。当我在三月初写这篇文章时，我无法说出新的编辑是谁，
In the last edition of Studies, I was very pleased to announce that in future the journal will be available online. Indeed, the last three years of the journal are now available. This edition gives me the opportunity to point to another innovation. For the first time, the work of the Editorial Board is to be augmented by an International Advisory Group (IAG), current members of which are listed. What is the reason for this change? To date, the Editorial Board has seen itself as very much a working entity. Board members play an active role in policy development, as well as in refereeing and book reviewing. We meet face-to-face three times a year and the policy has been three strikes and you are out. In other words, if you miss three meetings in a row, you are deemed to have resigned from the Board. In many ways, this has circumscribed membership. With the honourable exception of Stephen Brookfield, who attends one meeting a year, we have thought it untenable to ask colleagues from overseas to be Board members, while having an attendance requirement for Board meetings. However, Studies has become an ever-increasingly international journal, in terms of both authorship and readership. We would not and could not claim to be global, but nonetheless, over the years, the journal has come to act as a focal point for a growing range of research and researchers interested in the education of adults. To reflect our international status, therefore, we have instituted an International Advisory Group, members of which have been invited on the basis of their existing support for Studies as authors, referees and book reviewers. The role of the IAG is to promote Studies and to encourage contributions to it. In addition, members will be asked to fill out an annual survey evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a particular volume of the journal. This survey will feed into the policy discussions of the Editorial Board. Current membership of the IAG is for three years and we will be looking to augment membership over time. I would like personally to welcome the colleagues who have joined the IAG and I know the Board is looking forward to working with you in the future.All this innovation is taking place as I come to the start of my last year as Editor. In the last edition of Studies, I announced that we were seeking someone to replace me at the end of this year. As I write in early March, I am unable to say who the new Editor is,
