In pursuit of best practice through contextually relevant, accountable and responsive research

Abstract

In this year of recovery from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the authors and editors of the South African Journal of Communication Disorders (SAJCD) have, once again, contributed towards the body of knowledge in our two professions of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. The year 2022 has offered professionals from these professions two valuable journal issues. Issue 1 included 17 articles aimed at improving knowledge on pertinent issues such as screening and provision of services. The authors followed various methodologies, which included original research papers, an opinion paper and 3 clinical perspective pieces. Issue 2 illustrates just how busy the researchers and practitioners in our professions were during the pandemic, with 22 articles that document the challenges as well as the valuable lessons learnt during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding research, training as well as clinical service provision.
