Its authorstraverse the tightrope stretched between change and continuity, seeking to inspire and renew without alienating the community on whose efforts the reputation of the journal is built and without compromising the reputation of that journal. We accepted the honorable responsibility of leading BEQ, because we admire its pluralism and welcoming of multiple perspectives, the rigor and quality of its editorial review process, and the high‐quality work that results from that process. These are qualities to which we have committed ourselves and that we seek to advance.en© The Author(s), 2022.
