20 Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Q. 1 (1991)

handle is hein.journals/npvolsq20 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S NOTES OBSERVANT readers of this quarterly will note that the time elapsed between conference and publication of the conference issue is shrinking. The papers showcased in this issue were originally presented at the AVAS confer- ence in Seattle in mid-October of 1989. Less than a year later, they had been thoroughly reviewed and rewritten in response to a searching peer review process; they now enter the hands of NVSQ readers less than eighteen months after initial presentation. In the world of journals that is a rapid pace, and credit belongs both to the diligent authors and the able and persistent coeditors of this issue. Jim Long of Washington State University coordinated the process, following on his yeoman's service as chair of the Program Committee for the 1989 AVAS conference. Working with equal commitment on the issue were coeditors Jeff Brudney and Rich Steinberg. I appreciate the fine work each of these stalwart ARNOVA members played in shepherding the publication process for the conference issue. In addition to the conference papers, this issue presents two papers from NVSQ's regular submissions flow. In Not-for-Profit Organizations in the Soviet Union, Thomas A. Reiner addresses a set of timely issues that need to be tracked throughout Eastern Europe at this time of social and political sea change. In fascinating juxtaposition to the Soviet experience, Mark S. Rosen- traub examines the experience of the state of Texas as it faced the budgetary cuts of the 1980s. The reader will have to decide whether there is cultural lag or cultural lead in these two cases. This issue concludes with reviews of Teresa Odendahl's Charity Begins at Home and the edited collection of papers Beneficence, Philanthropy and the Public Good. I am grateful to Professors Bloland and Martin for their judicious reviews of these important sources. In the previous issue we welcomed a new international journal, Voluntas, to the field. This time we greet another far-reaching new journal, Nonprofit Management and Leadership, coedited by long-time ARNOVA members Dennis Young and David Billis. It seems certain that NML will be successful, and NVSQ sends it every good wish for success. It will be useful to have a review that can present articles with a specific focus on management: this has never been a strong suit or central interest for NVSQ or its predecessor, the Journal of Voluntary Action Research. Now there are four major journals in the field-not ignoring the excellent Journal of Volunteer Administration-so authors will be able to target their submissions more intelligently. NVSQ continues to welcome research articles, whether theoretical or data-based, qualitative or quantitative. Our in-box is fuller than ever, and we welcome the continuing growth and expansion of this field of scholarly research.
