Ideas for the future of JCCP in terms of content, structure, and format.
Once again, a change has occurred. As you probably noticed, the color of the cover for this issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (JCCP) is different, signaling the "changing of the guard" of the editorial team. JCCP has a long-standing legacy of excellence in publishing high-quality, cutting-edge, and innovative research and scholarship in clinical psychology. Its increasing Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) impact factor rating continues to attest to its influence on the field overall. As the new editor, I intend to do my utmost to preserve this reputation. Moreover, I am humbled upon reflecting on those before me in this position, as well as excited about shepherding such a premier journal over the course of the next 6 years. I am cognizant not only of the impact that this journal has on the science of clinical psychology but also of its influence on clinical practice and service delivery via the dissemination and adoption of evidenced-based interventions. In this context, I am grateful for having been able to assemble such a high-caliber team of associate and consulting editors. This editorial presents some ideas for the future of JCCP in terms of content, structure, and format.
