Conclusion
In summary then, I believe that at the end of 2 years,JID has reached the point where it has achieved acceptance within AECT, has a growing audience, has sound contents including both articles and departments, and receives an adequate number of quality manuscripts. On the minus side,JID does not effectively serve a significant segment of the ID community-business, industry, government, and the military-in terms of its subscribers, its contents, and the source of its manuscripts, andJID does not receive as many manuscripts as it could to allow for better distribution of published articles by topics and authors.
We are working to solveJID’s problems, but we cannot do it without you.JID is your journal. We need your subscription, your manuscripts, your participation in the departments. If you are already participating, get a friend to do so, too.
It has been a good (if rough) first 2 years, and we look forward to an even better third year-with your help.
