Editorial: International Recognition for Australian Research

This issue completes the first volume of my editorship of the journal and I would like to thank all the contributors and reviewers for their hard work. There have been some exciting developments with the journal over the past year as we strive to improve the quality and reach of the AEDP. For the first time we have been successful in being listed with SCOPUS and PsycINFO, which ensures that the articles published in the journal are available internationally. This will hopefully mean that many more high quality manuscripts from Australia and overseas will start to be submitted to the journal, which can only increase the standing of the AEDP over the next few years. Currently we are being assessed by Thomson Reuters for an impact factor, but this may take another year before we know if we have been successful in this endeavour.
