20 Negot. J. 3 (2004)

handle is hein.journals/nejo20 and id is 1 raw text is: Editor's Note Negotiation Journal: On the Process of Dispute Settlement This issue marks the start of the journal's twentieth year. It is also the first to be created in collaboration with Blackwell Publishing, our new partner in this enterprise. Some changes may have already caught your eye, including a redesigned cover and a more useful arrangement of the front matter.You also may have felt some greater heft - we are increasing our standard number of pages by 20 percent to allow us to provide additional material that we hope will be useful and interesting to our readers. Other innovations may soon be in the offing, particularly after a brain- storming session with the associate editors, our Blackwell colleagues, and other friends at the Program on Negotiation. We also plan a reader survey to get an up-to-date sense of what you want to see in the journal.We will surely take full advantage of Blackwell's expertise in electronic publishing to make sure that our authors' work reaches the broadest possible audience. Some things will not change, however. One is our clear commitment to forge the connection between theory and practice, so that people striving to reach agreement have access to the best current thinking and research on negotiation. If we can also promote excellence in teaching, so much the better. Another constant is Bill Breslin who, to our great good fortune, has served as managing editor from the outset. No one knows the field and the people in it as well as Bill does.We also continue to have the singular advantage of being a central activity of the Program on Negotiation, an inter-university consortium that spans Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Tufts University, and which also has important affiliations with faculty at other schools locally and throughout the world. In addition to supporting the Journal, the Program on Negotiation sponsors exchange between academics and pro- fessionals through conferences, workshops, and publication of research and teaching materials in a variety of media.' These activities, in turn, stimulate the creation of some of the material that finds its way to these pages. Many people who were on the journal's original masthead still actively support the publication with keen editorial insight and their own contributions. They include Roger Fisher, Bob McKersie, Bruce Patton, Howard Raiffa, Mary Rowe, and Frank Sander. Others joined the crew soon after, notably Deborah Kolb who coedited the Journal for several years. There is, however, one conspicuous loss, our friend and colleague, Jeff Rubin who was faculty editor from the first issue until his untimely death in 1995. Jeff's zeal and eclectic breadth of interests gave the Journal a distinctive identity that persists to this day. We remember him fondly and Negotiation Journal January 2004 3
