Summary 2005 has been a year of transition for the Journal – the editorial management was transferred from Nottingham to the team at Newcastle, we moved to Blackwell Publishing, and the management of the editorial process was moved from a paper‐based system to an electronic system and then, in January 2006, to an on‐line submission and web‐based management system under Manuscript Central by ©ScholarOne. Submissions to the Journal increased during 2005, though we published rather fewer papers (22) than in recent years. We continue to improve the average turnround time between submission and first decision, reaching 3 months in 2005. Our ISI citation ranking continues to be disappointing, but we will continue to publish the very best of our submissions, and maintain the well‐established quality of JAE.
