In this introductory editorial, the Chief Editor introduces the volume and the papers within it. They also offer some insights and reflections into the current state of locating peer-reviewers within academic publishing, and some of the unique challenges faced by themselves and fellow editors. The editorial also provides insights into the future issues of the journal, and the ways in which readers can become contributors. Following a series of acknowledgements, the editorial closes with a guide to the various ways in which readers can engage with the journal outside of the published volumes on social media.
