As I reflect on the last 6 years during which I have served as the Editor-in-Chief for Group & Organization Management (GOM), I take great satisfaction in knowing what we – the authors, reviewers, and editors who have contributed to the journal – have achieved as a team. These achievements include the publication of 163 peer-reviewed articles, four special issues, and six Special Conceptual Issues. This has been a time of impressive growth for GOM, as the number of institutional submissions expanded globally from 8387 in 2014 to 10,464 in 2019, a 24.8% increase. Online usage likewise rose dramatically from 141,097 downloads in 2014 to 241,623 in 2019, a 71.2% increase. This growth is also reflected in the number of submissions, which expanded from 254 in 2014 to 351 in 2019, a 38.2% increase. As these metrics indicate, GOM is increasingly viewed by both readers and authors as a respected outlet for the dissemination of knowledge about groups, organizations, and management.

即将离任的编辑送别

当我回顾过去六年中担任集团与组织管理（GOM）的总编辑时，我非常高兴地知道我们–为该报告做出了贡献的作者，审稿人和编辑杂志–团队合作取得的成就。这些成就包括发表了163篇经同行评审的文章，4篇特刊和6篇特刊。对于GOM来说，这是令人印象深刻的增长时期，随着全球机构提交的数量从2014年的8387件增加到2019年的10464件，增长了24.8％。在线使用量同样从2014年的141,097次下载大幅增长到2019年的241,623次，增长71.2％。这种增长也反映在提交数量上，从2014年的254个增加到2019年的351个，增长了38.2％。正如这些指标所表明的那样，读者和作者都越来越认为GOM是传播有关组，组织和管理知识的受人尊敬的渠道。
