This special issue represents the wide array of topics with which group workers and scholars are currently engaged. As the world continues to transform in both unprecedented and expected ways, it will be important for group facilitators to remain adaptive, committed, and innovative in both theory and practice. We hope these articles provide new insight and direction for group work scholars and practitioners and we look forward to the continued evolution of this important work.

{"title":"Impact: Will We Ever Have A Chance?","authors":"Kristopher M. Goodrich, David Van Horn","doi":"10.1080/01933922.2022.2129939","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01933922.2022.2129939","url":null,"abstract":"As noted by other scholars (i.e., Fernando & Minton, 2011; Hunter et al., 2018), journal-level impact (often referred to as impact factor) is a complex subject and has important meaning for different stakeholders. Journal level impact has been used by different colleges and universities to help inform how they evaluate faculty for formative and summative evaluation processes (Barrio Minton & Fernando, 2011), which can have a tremendous impact on faculty members’ academic careers. Fernando and Barrio Minton have criticized the bias and lack of fairness surrounding this system; however, this might inform the decision where scholars may seek to publish their academic work, either within a certain journal or other, or within a journal within a certain field or not (Hunter et al., 2018). Hunter and colleagues have expressed the potential consequences to professional identity and its relationship to program accreditation, as there is an implied obligation within Council for Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accreditation guides to have Counselor Educators from CACREP-accredited program publish in Counselor Education-related journals. Further, some scholars have used journal metrics as a proxy to explain field differences, arguing the quality of one field in comparison to another based around impact factor differences found for their journals; others have discussed journal-based differences in fields due to number of issues and page counts across different journals (Hunter et al., 2018). Following this line of thinking, Hunter and colleagues have suggested that our field and journals need to consider alternative forms of impact. The politics surrounding journal-level impact is not something that we wish to explore in within this editorial; however, as I (KMG) move toward the end of my term as editor of JSGW, the issues surrounding impact, especially impact as it relates to our own journal (and other journals within our field of Counselor Education) is something that I believe needs further evaluation. Working in tandem with a doctoral student (DJVH), we wish to present a counter-narrative to what has been previously discussed within the field as a rationale for why many of our journals may have not yet received formal impact factors. As two individuals who were both trained in CACREP-accredited masters programs, and who have or are seeking doctoral degrees in CACREP-accredited doctoral programs, we come from within the field and seek a call for attention that we hope will lead to a call to action as we continue our important work in Counselor Education. It is ultimately our argument that the size of journals, the number of pages, or issues within journal volumes do not alone explain the lack of journal-level impact for many of the journals within our fields, as argued by others. Instead, it is our belief that there are actions that we could, and should, take as a field that would not only support us in moving our journals toward forma","PeriodicalId":45501,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Group Work","volume":"83 1","pages":"176 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82884134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"How to Review for the Journal for Specialists in Group Work (JSGW) Editorial Board Member Basics","authors":"Kristopher M. Goodrich, Gerard T. Bartlett, Cassandra Hirdes, Lia D. Falco","doi":"10.1080/01933922.2022.2129940","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01933922.2022.2129940","url":null,"abstract":"Although peer review is the cornerstone of scientific and scholarly publication, very few people receive training to do this during their graduate education. The process of peer review involves having others of equal or greater expertise in a subject area critique or comment on work that is submitted to a journal. This process can be blind (i.e., the Associate or Action Editors know identity of the author(s) but the reviewers do not), or “double-blind” (i.e., the author identity is unknown to both the Action or Associate Editor and the reviewers). A manuscript that is peer reviewed is sometimes called “refereed.” The benefit of the process is that, when done well, it creates stronger, clearer publications which contribute to quality in the advancement of knowledge. Peer review is not meant to serve as a barrier to publication, rather it exists to ensure publications in professional journals are the best possible quality and can be disseminated worldwide. Further, none of this can be accomplished without other scholars and practitioners in the field who volunteer to perform this service. Serving as a member of a journal’s editorial review board is one of the most important roles that one can take in a professional association. Reviewers are an integral part of the publication process, supporting the journal in vetting and supporting authors to move manuscripts through the editorial process. Their work is key in ensuring that manuscripts are appropriate to the scope and mission of the journal (and the association it falls within), that the piece has the appropriate depth and breadth to add new knowledge into the field for practice and scholarly knowledge, as well as ensuring that authors write the work in a way that our broad group of readers may be able to understand and integrate the work into whatever their professional areas may be. It is surprising, then, that although we as a field recognize the importance that editorial board membership, and the process they engage in, that little is discussed or trained within graduate schools to prepare individuals to take on this important service. Often times, we find that our members are hesitant to take on these roles because of the little training or attention that editorial board service has previous had in their professional career. More often than not, we have found that most people we have interacted with have taken on these roles because they were “invited” by editorial or professional association leadership due to small review board numbers, and a need to fill slots. Others may feel external pressure to perform this service as a requirement for tenure and promotion. Additionally, these individuals often appear hesitant to take on these roles, due to the little training they have received. However, they do all report recognizing the importance of these roles, as well as an acknowledgment of the thing we often report to our authors: if you want to learn how to better write for a journal, join the ","PeriodicalId":45501,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Group Work","volume":"76 5 1","pages":"169 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89230659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, we argue the use of Relational Cultural Theory (RCT) in a group context can bring discussions of controlling images, social inequities, and foster growth and relational resilience.
