In 2014, the Journal of Child Language will begin publishing 6 issues per year, in order to accommodate the increasing number of papers we receive. We have also reorganized the workflow to reduce the time a paper is under review. With very few exceptions, authors now receive a decision in less than 4 months. This is only possible through the efficient work of our Associate Editors: Misha Becker, Aylin Küntay, Letitia Naigles, Caroline Rowland, Carol Stoel-Gammon, and Stephanie Stokes. Many thanks to all of them. From 2014, we have increased the number of Associate Editors: Holly Storkel from the University of Kansas and Johanne Paradis from the University of Alberta have joined our team. Stephanie Stokes finished her term as Associate Editor and could not extend because of duties she assumed at her home university. Our heartfelt thanks for many excellent, thoughtful, and considerate reviews. It has been a delight to work with her!
We would also like to thank all our authors and reviewers for the time and effort they spend improving the quality of the papers we publish. We look forward to your continued contributions to the Journal of Child Language. But most of all, we look forward to celebrating the 40th anniversary of JCL at the conference of the International Association for the Study of Child Language (IASCL) in Amsterdam in July.
