Before I introduce the articles published in the second issue of JTR in 2016, I would like to take the opportunity to share a couple of noteworthy news items with you. First, the number of submissions in the first half of this year (up to the end of June) has substantially increased, already higher than the number for the whole of 2015. This may be related to the inclusion of JTR in the journal list in the Academic Journal Guide 2015 from the Association of Business Schools (ABS) in UK, thus the higher recognition of JTR due to the greater exposure of the ABS listing. I hope this momentum will continue in the rest of this year and also in years to come. Second, it is my great pleasure to congratulate Neve Isaeva from the University of Birmingham for winning the privileged award, theMichael K. O’Rourke Best Publication Award, which is to recognise the outstanding achievement in the publication of a postgraduate researcher. Neve received the 2016 award for the best publication in the College of Social Sciences, and this article was published in JTR as a special-forum article (Isaeva, Bachmann, Bristow, & Saunders, 2015). Only five winners are selected each year for this award, one for each of the five colleges at the University of Birmingham with approximately 5000 postgraduate research students. I strongly recommend this award-winning article to all JTR readers, and in fact would like to share with you again my view on this article as published in the second issue of JTR in 2015 (Li, 2015a):

面向集成框架的信任组合：信任上下文和信任复杂性的新兴主题

在介绍2016年第二期JTR发表的文章之前，我想借此机会与您分享一些值得注意的新闻。首先，今年上半年（截至6月底）的投稿数量已经大大增加，已经高于2015年全年的投稿数量。这可能与JTR纳入英国商学院协会（ABS）发布的《 2015年学术期刊指南》，因此，由于ABS列表的曝光率较高，因此JTR的知名度更高。我希望这种势头在今年余下的时间以及未来几年将继续。其次，我非常高兴地祝贺伯明翰大学的尼夫·伊萨耶娃（Neve Isaeva）获得了特权奖，迈克尔·奥罗克（Michael K. O'Rourke）最佳出版奖，这是为了表彰一名研究生研究员的杰出成就。Neve获得了2016年社会科学学院最佳出版物奖，该文章作为特别论坛文章在JTR上发表（Isaeva，Bachmann，Bristow和Saunders，2015年）。每年只选出5名获奖者，伯明翰大学的5所大学中每所大学都有一所，大约有5000名研究生。我向所有JTR读者强烈推荐这篇获奖文章，实际上，我想再次与您分享我对2015年第二期JTR上发表的这篇文章的看法（Li，2015a）：这篇文章作为特别论坛文章在JTR上发表（Isaeva，Bachmann，Bristow和Saunders，2015年）。每年仅选出5名获奖者，伯明翰大学的5所大学中每所大学都有一所，大约有5000名研究生。我向所有JTR读者强烈推荐这篇获奖文章，实际上，我想再次与您分享我对2015年第二期JTR上发表的这篇文章的看法（Li，2015a）：这篇文章作为特别论坛文章在JTR上发表（Isaeva，Bachmann，Bristow和Saunders，2015年）。每年仅选出5名获奖者，伯明翰大学的5所大学中每所大学都有一所，大约有5000名研究生。我向所有JTR读者强烈推荐这篇获奖文章，实际上，我想再次与您分享我对2015年第二期JTR上发表的这篇文章的看法（Li，2015a）：
