 Special Announcement

We regret to announce that after 35 years the current issue (Volume 25, 2010) of the EJP will be the last issue published for the foreseeable future.

Due to a combination of factors, including a decline in submissions over the last couple of years (possibly related to the UK government's research evaluation framework which links university funding to the number of publications in larger, more mainstream journals) and unfavourable developments in the HE sector, we have decided that the journal will have to take a publication hiatus.

We anticipate that Volume 25 will be distributed to current subscribers early in the New Year at the latest. Anyone who has already subscribed to the 2011 issues (Volume 26) will receive a refund, and recurring subscriptions will be cancelled. We plan to maintain the website (http://ejp.org.uk/) for as long as possible, with the aim of making back issues of the journal freely available in PDF format, and hope to re-launch the journal in more favourable times.

This has been a very difficult decision for us and we have done our utmost to prevent this from happening, but as the only independent journal in the field we are left with little choice.

Thank you all for your continued support over the years.

Ian Baker, Paul Staples & Paul Stevens
