It is with both trepidation and excitement that I approach my term as Scientific Editor of the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology (QJEGH). Trepidation when I think of the need to live up to the achievements of previous Scientific Editors; excitement given the challenge of shaping the journal for the future. Considering the position of the journal in this its fortieth volume I cannot help but wonder what the editors of Volume 1, Issue 1 in 1967 would think of the landmark achieved this year. This anniversary helps to define my challenge – namely ensuring that the journal continues to act as a showcase for issues, best practice and innovation in our profession while opening it up to a greater global market of both authors and readers.Go

The publication of the journal relies on many people, not least the Editorial Board and our Staff Editor from The Geological Society Publishing House amongst others. All of these individuals work hard to produce a journal of which Fellows of The Geological Society can be proud and that addresses the needs of you our readers. However, authors are also key to the production of the journal. Indeed, the publication of their work forms an essential part of the process of developing and enhancing scientific and technical knowledge and of moving the profession forward (Fig. 1). Publication is not just an important, but an essential, part of our work.
