Peters’ (2021) article “The Challenges of Achieving Equity Within Public School Gifted and Talented Programs” makes us consider what actions can improve equity in gifted education. As coeditors of two of the field’s major journals, we felt it would be helpful to share perspectives from our experience in response to some of the important issues Peters has raised. The power and influence associated with a journal editor’s role is often exaggerated by those who have not previously been editors themselves, but as gatekeepers, editors do have some influence on research directions in their field. As suggested by Peters’ approach, efforts by editors also can be conceptualized as low-hanging fruit, longer term commitments, and major societal changes.

期刊编辑在支持公平方面的作用

Peters (2021) 的文章“在公立学校天才和天才计划中实现公平的挑战”让我们思考哪些行动可以改善天才教育的公平。作为该领域两个主要期刊的共同编辑，我们认为分享我们的经验对彼得斯提出的一些重要问题的看法会有所帮助。与期刊编辑角色相关的权力和影响力常常被那些自己以前不是编辑的人夸大，但作为守门人，编辑确实对其领域的研究方向产生了一些影响。正如彼得斯的方法所建议的那样，编辑的努力也可以被概念化为唾手可得的成果、长期承诺和重大社会变革。
