5-year Celebration Special Issue: Internet Journal of Restorative Justice
Editorial:
“Welcome to the first Special Issue of the Internet Journal of Restorative Justice aiming to celebrate five years since its inception. First and foremost, I want to thank the many volunteers who have supported this ground-breaking publication and in particular Ms. Ero Michael, who has acted as its Content Editor since the begining. Many thanks also go to the Editorial Board and especially its Chair and good friend Professor Vasso Artinopoulou. Without Vasso’s passion and the Board’s direction, this Journal would not have achieved its objectives, and indeed look into the future with much excitement. I set up the Journal five years ago with three primary objectives. First, I wanted to give to young people and researchers who at the early stages of their careers to publish alongside big names in the field. Of course, this had to be done according to high standards and by following a double, blind peer review process. Second, I wanted to challenge the idea of having to pay expensive subscriptions for accessing the latest research on restorative justice. That is why, up to date, the Journal remained free. On reflection and following our readers’ feedback, we subsequently decided to charge a small fee per paper so that we can support our volunteers’ expenses. Thirdly, I wanted to push the boundaries of restorative justice by publishing research that is not limited by institutions and the politics of the movement. The leaders comprising our Editorial Board were fully on board with this ambition, and thus the content of this Journal remains unique and timely….” Dr. Theo GavrielidesEditor in Chief
