ISWCR is planning to organize regular Editorial Meetings to strengthen communications among board members. In 2022, two meetings in April and December were organized, respectively. Such meetings are going to be held twice a year in the future. We believe that such meeting must bring us more opportunities to face to face exchange useful ideas concerning the running and development of the Journal, so we hope that our board members can join us at the meeting once a year at least.
