Abstract

Some time after the appearance of the first issue of this journal, we are glad to announce that we have received steady feedback. This includes not only a considerable number of subscriptions, which form the material basis of every journal's existence, but also many encouraging comments. For instance, Henry Bauer, reviewing our journal in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, which he edits, asks whether he should 'welcome so formidable a competitor for some high-quality manuscripts? Of course! The search for knowledge is not a zero-sum game.' This thoughtful assessment agrees precisely with our own policy. We do indeed view the competition with other journals of similar scope in terms of a fruitful complementarity rather than envious rivalry.
