The Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement Volume 22(4), December 2018 is now available. At JHEOE, we are always looking ahead for future directions of research and ways to keep the Journal relevant and serving our readership and the field at large. In this issue, we are pleased to see more submissions of research from non-Western and non-U.S. contexts. This issue also features two reflective essays that are engaging thought pieces. Articles in the “Projects with Promise” section feature in-pro­cess engagement work, often with preliminary findings that present a current snapshot of what is happening at the practitioner level of community engagement work. This issue culminates with the book review section that presents two pieces that represent highlights of this issue for very different reasons. There is much to digest in the articles that we have been privi­leged to publish throughout volume 22 of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement this year.

The JHEOE editorial team is committed to continuously improve our internal processes to ensure we are handling our authors’ scholarly work in the most efficient and effective way.  Therefore, we are introducing a trimester review process allowing for a more concentrated effort to respond more quickly to our authors and expedite the peer review process.  Most importantly, it serves our mission “to serve as the premier peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal to advance theory and practice” related to community engagement.  Although you may submit a manuscript at any time, the review due dates are February 1, June 1, and October 1. You will find more detail in the submission guidelines.
