The year 2020 was challenging across all spheres of functioning for everyone. This challenge was no different for the editorial staff of the Journal of Black Psychology (JBP). While we had the luxury of staying at home during the pandemic, the demands increased—working at home while balancing family and partners also at home, managing the increasing demands at work as a result of navigating online platforms for teaching, advising, and conducting research as well as practicing psychology for our clients and communities. The time afforded more scholars to write and submit manuscripts to JBP. We thank you for the increased submissions. However, the increased scholarship also increased the demand on our editorial board, which has resulted in manuscripts under review longer than we would like or expect. We have appreciated your patience as we adjust to shorten the review time. To shorten the review time, we have increased our editorial consultants. Take a look at our list of editorial consultants on the inside page of the journal cover. Prior years our board has consisted of approximately 20 to 25; now we have 50 consultants and counting. Thank you for agreeing to serve on JBP. We are proud to have such esteemed scholars and practitioners from around the world serving. Our goal is to increase expertise as well as to decrease the burden on reviewing as many manuscripts as previously. We would like to extend the call for more editorial consultants. If you have expertise on the psychological experiences of Blacks across the African diaspora, contact me, providing me with a current CV and your interest. I will be happy to engage with you about serving as a consultant for JBP.

编者注：新的编辑委员会和新的提交准则

2020年对所有人的所有职能领域都是充满挑战的一年。对于《黑色心理学杂志》（JBP）的编辑人员而言，这一挑战无异。在大流行期间，我们虽然可以留在家中，但需求却增加了—在家里工作，同时也可以在家人和伴侣之间取得平衡，通过浏览在线平台进行教学，咨询和研究，管理了工作中日益增长的需求以及为我们的客户和社区练习心理学。时间使更多的学者向JBP撰写和提交手稿。我们感谢您提交的作品增加了。但是，奖学金的增加也增加了对我们编辑委员会的需求，这导致对稿件的审查时间超过了我们的期望或预期。感谢您的耐心配合，我们将缩短审核时间。为了缩短审查时间，我们增加了编辑顾问。在期刊封面的内页上查看我们的编辑顾问列表。前几年，我们的董事会大约由20至25名成员组成；现在我们有50名顾问，并且还在增加。感谢您同意在JBP任职。我们很荣幸能有来自世界各地的如此受人尊敬的学者和实践者为我们服务。我们的目标是增加专业知识，并减少与以前一样多的稿件审阅负担。我们想呼吁更多的编辑顾问。如果您对跨非裔美国人的黑人的心理经验有专业知识，请与我联系，向我提供最新的简历和您的兴趣。我很高兴与您联系，担任JBP的顾问。
