editorial Interpreting research in print A quarter-century update Franz Pöchhacker and Minhua Liu It is not ofen that we as editors devote space in this journal to editorial matters and reach out directly to our readers. We assume that the readers of Interpreting are more interested in published content than in learning about the practices through which it comes about. Although the journal has certainly undergone an evolution over the years, the various changes have been relatively minor and have seldom merited explicit explanatory statements from the editors. Indeed, the jour- nal’s aspirations, practices and scope have remained largely unchanged since the frst issue of the journal was put together a quarter of a century ago. It is therefore this anniversary – 25 years since Interpreting was frst published, in 1996 – that we take as our prompt for the present update on some recent developments that, in themselves, might not need much explaining, and would probably go unnoticed by most authors and readers. Before turning to what is new, or diferent, we take some pride in reafrming what has remained unchanged. Aside from the journal’s comprehensive scope, which encompasses all aspects of interpreting, approached from any disciplinary perspective (see Massaro & Moser-Mercer 1996), the bedrock of Interpreting remains its aspiration to meet the highest standards of quality. First and foremost, quality here relates to the scientifc work being reported, which, simply put, must be ‘good research’ in accordance with the feld’s theoretical and methodological state of the art; no less important, however, is the quality of the editorial process, from manuscript submission to publication in print. Editorial process Although they are set out in the journal’s submission guidelines, the various steps in the editorial process are not always evident to authors, and remain practically invisible to readers. They are visualized here (Figure 1) to provide a point of refer- ence for the update we give below. https://doi.org/./intp..edi Interpreting : (), pp. –. issn - | e‑issn -x © John Benjamins Publishing Company
