Abstract
Welcome to the Fall 2014 issue of Advances in Social Work. This issue represents the last one on my watch, as I retired from the Indiana University School of Social Work (IUSSW) last May. Since the journal moved to its current online, open-access format in the Fall of 2008, I have had the privilege of serving as its Editor, managing peer review, making final decisions, relaying both positive and negative news to authors, producing the issues, and trying to raise the profile of the journal. During that time we have seen an increase in manuscript submissions and the production of a number of excellent special, thematic issues under the guidance of exceptional guest editors. We now have nearly 1,000 registered users from all over the globe, more than 350 of whom also serve as peer reviewers. All of our archives, dating back to the very first issue in 2000, are now readily available from the Advances website.
