| Abstract/Notes |
Excerpt: The first copies of The Journal of Chiropractic Education were sent to interested educators and chiropractic institutions 19 years ago. The brainchild of Grace Jacobs, DA, the journal was originally printed by mimeograph and, by today’s standards, had more of the appearance of a newsletter than a journal. Much can be said about her aspiration and hard work. Dr. Jacobs nurtured and developed the journal for 10 years, brought it into a traditional journal format, and thoroughly inculcated it into the annual Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) Annual Educational Conference. Her efforts are remembered by several of our veteran educators, but may be unknown by some. We pause to recognize her many years of dedication to improving chiropractic education.
It is from Robert Ward, DC, that I assume the helm as managing editor. Serving the journal from 1998 through mid-year 2006, Dr. Ward has been instrumental in raising the quality of scholarship published in the journal through an enhanced peer-review process, thought-provoking editorials, and pioneering the use of a new editorial system. During his leadership, the journal has grown in sophistication and quality. Thanks to his efforts, the journal now reaches a larger audience than ever. It is our good fortune that Dr. Ward has agreed to continue to serve the journal as a peer reviewer and assist with a smooth transition of managing editors.
