title: Looking Toward Improving the Journal.
abstract: The sine qua non that underlies the success of any publication is the extent to which it satisfies an expectation that it contains articles of interest to readers. With the exception of the production of occasional issues on special topics, the Journal of Allied Health does not solicit articles. Instead of a top-down approach that always can be at risk of lacking awareness of the emergence of important new developments in the health care arena, a bottom-up approach provides a reasonable degree of assurance that some novel ideas of considerable interest will appear at regular intervals. Nevertheless, there is value in entertaining suggestions regarding the kinds of manuscripts that will appeal to readers.
