Forray 2 In two prior editorials (Journal of Management Education [JME], Volume 40, Issue 5, and Volume 41, Issue 5), we used a “seeding the garden” meta- phor to discuss opportunities that journal editors have to nurture scholar- ship in our domain (our “garden”) and the ways in which we do this work. Here, we expand on this metaphor a bit to illuminate what we see as another important aspect of cultivating our garden’s growth, and that is the work of editorial advocacy and engagement. While there may not appear to be an obvious connection between scholarship seeding and editorial seeding, we believe our garden needs both to survive (Lund Dean & Forray, 2017). A little over a year ago we began to focus some of our “editors’ road- shows” (institutional workshops and conference sessions) on reviewing skills as part of our developmental outreach on behalf of JME. Our reason for doing these sessions was not simply or only transactional as a way to build reviewing capacity for JME, although certainly this is beneficial as our submission rate grows. Our primary reason for adding reviewing skills to our outreach repertoire was to build intentionally new forms of transforma- tional opportunities that would encourage and inspire others to consider the entire editorial process that grows and shapes the future success of JME and, through it, the entire SoTL (scholarship of teaching and learning) in the management education domain.
