The editorial team looks forward to working with SAGE, to harnessing its marketing experience, and to building on the shared goal of developing the journal into the primary resource in its field. We believe that the strong international reputation and presence of SAGE will provide an excellent forum for potential authors to influence the field with regard to research, theory, and pedagogy.
