With the assistance of 12 guest editors, the Journal of Business Logistics ( JBL ) has initiated a sequence of special topics forums ( STF s) intended to stimulate research on themes that are both fundamental and timely. In an attempt to complement the quality and depth of the impact of research published in JBL , the objective of this strategy is to continue to increase the breadth of the impact of JBL on research in our discipline. A small number of articles have the preponderance of impact: 1% of the articles published in JBL account for over 20% of all JBL citations and half of the articles account for 95% of all citations. Our selection of the STF s is aimed at increasing the breadth of impact of the research published in JBL . Each STF that is discussed in this Editorial addresses relevant and timely research questions that should have a lasting impact on theory and practice.
