The shared vision for EDJTP is to continue to strengthen the journal’s role as a respected source of scientifically-based guidance for those working in the field of eating disorder prevention and treatment. As long-time practitioners and researchers in the field of eating disorders, the Editors-in-Chief know that other related journals are sometimes more focused on research in the sheer pursuit of knowledge rather than publishing articles to directly inform prevention and treatment interventions. We see EDJTP as a critical bridge between sound research and practice in the field of eating disorders. The Editors-in-Chief are passionately committed to shepherding the journal forward with this distinctive goal, and to do this, they will:
prioritize studies and empirical research that have practical clinical or prevention applications,
encourage collaboration with authors, reviewers, and eating disorders organizations,
increase the journal’s visibility through social media,
continue to build an editorial board of current authorities on eating disorders who are committed to our specific editorial mission,
follow their strategic plan for increasing EDJTP’s impact.
The Editors-in-Chief are actively recruiting guest editors for special issues, soliciting review papers from prominent authors, and have commenced an awards program for Eating Disorders Outstanding Article of the Year, Eating Disorders Prevention Article of the Year, and honorable mention finalists in each category (first awarded in 2017). Additionally, the Editors-in-Chief have appointed a Social Media Editor who will help to use social media to disseminate EDJTP’s articles widely.
The team at EDJTP looks forward to the upcoming years of lifting EDJTP’s prominence in the field and supporting prevention and treatment interventions through the publications of relevant and applied research studies, review articles, and special issues.
