T o begin, I want to express my deepest thanks and gratitude to Jeff Jenson for his outstanding leadership and lasting contributions to the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research ( JSSWR). Alongside a tremendous team of associate and consulting editors, Jeff has worked tirelessly to raise the profile of the journal and strengthen both the quality and volume of submissions while maintaining a commitment to rigor and the rapid turnaround of manuscripts throughout the review process. As Mark Fraser did before him, Jeff has helped JSSWR to become a leading publisher of rigorous social work scholarship. Through Jeff’s efforts, the journal has grown not just in quality and prestige, but also substance and influence. Publications featured in the journal during Jeff’s tenure as editor-inchief engage timely and important questions for our field. Articles such as those appearing in special sections and special issues on the Grand Challenges for Social Work Initiative ( Jenson, Shapiro, & Bender, 2018; Jenson & Uehara, 2017) and public impact scholarship ( Jenson, Sliva, & Greenfield, 2019) are particularly noteworthy in this regard. As I assume the role of editor-in-chief, I consider it an obligation to continue the valuable work of Jeff and Mark. My intention is to follow their lead in helping to expand the pool of authors submitting to the journal; to broaden the journal’s readership; and to continue to press for the highest quality, empirically robust, and substantively meaningful social work research. I am also excited to consider alternatives to traditional article formats—such as commentaries, editorials, and

社会工作与研究学会杂志的未来

首先，我要对杰夫·詹森（Jeff Jenson）的杰出领导和对《社会工作与研究学会杂志》（JSSWR）的持久贡献表示由衷的感谢。与庞大的副编辑和咨询编辑团队一起，杰夫不懈地努力提高期刊的知名度，并提高投稿的质量和数量，同时在整个审阅过程中保持对稿件的严格和快速周转的承诺。正如Mark Fraser在他之前所做的那样，Jeff帮助JSSWR成为了严格的社会工作奖学金的领先出版商。通过Jeff的努力，该期刊不仅在质量和声誉上得到了增长，而且在内容和影响方面也得到了发展。杰夫（Jeff）任职期间，该期刊上的出版物主要是担任编辑的小插曲，引起了有关该领域的及时而重要的问题。诸如《社会工作大挑战倡议》（Jenson，Shapiro，＆Bender，2018; Jenson＆Uehara，2017）和公共影响力奖学金（Jenson，Sliva，＆Greenfield，2019）的特殊章节和特殊问题中出现的文章是在这方面特别值得注意。当我担任主编时，我认为有义务继续Jeff和Mark的宝贵工作。我的意图是跟随他们的领导，帮助扩大提交该期刊的作者人数。扩大期刊的读者群；并继续追求最高质量，经验丰富且具有实质意义的社会工作研究。
