July 2012 marked our second anniversary as Editors-in-Chief of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly. It has been a busy year for us – and for the journal – and one that has witnessed increased stature for NVSQ. Perhaps the most exciting achievement is the strong rise in the Impact Factor for the journal to the highest level it has ever attained: 0.899 for 2011 (the latest year which the IF is calculated), a year-over-year increase of 39 percent since 2010 (IF = .648). As the Impact Factor is an indicator of the “use” or citation of a journal and often interpreted as a measure of its “quality,” we are pleased by this large rise for NVSQ. Greater numbers of scholars are citing articles published in the journal, which is a credit to both the authors and our many helpful reviewers. As further demonstration of the increased stature of the journal, the year saw a tremendous growth in the number of manuscripts reviewed by the journal and receiving decisions from the Editors-in-Chief. In the year ending June 30, 2012, we processed more than 450 manuscripts – an increase of over 30 percent from the previous year. A rough estimate from a recent survey of ARNOVA members providing peer reviews for NVSQ suggests that the time invested by the peer reviewers over the past year surpassed 6750 hours. The success of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly has always depended on the volunteer contributions of dedicated reviewers. No peer-reviewed journal can survive without the many hours of voluntary service devoted to reviewing. We are very grateful to the peer reviewers for NVSQ. Last year we undertook an initiative to recognize the efforts made by the peer reviewers, and to establish and present an annual award to the reviewer who had provided outstanding peer reviews both quantitatively and qualitatively and in a timely manner. The Outstanding Reviewer Award for 2012 goes to Dr . Thad D. Calabrese, assistant professor at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University for his insightful and thoughtful reviews and constructive comments. Professor Calabrese received a monetary award and a plaque recognizing his achievement at the 2012 ARNOVA Conference. Congratulations, Thad! We look forward to recognizing other deserving reviewers in the future. When we assumed the editorship of NVSQ, we also proposed to publish research review articles by eminent scholars intended to cumulate knowledge in the field, and to provide insights to guide future research. We are pleased to report that the first two of these articles appeared in Volume 41: “Volunteerism Research: A Review Essay” by John Wilson (vol. 41, 2, April 2012), and “U.S. Nonprofit Law Reform: The Role of Private Organizations” by Evelyn Brody (vol. 41, 4, August 2012). More research review articles are underway.

Our lead article in this issue is also a research review essay, the second of a twopart series on “Collaborative Value Creation: A Review of Partnering between Nonprofits and Businesses,” authored by Professor James E. Austin of the Harvard Business School and his colleague Dr. May Seitanidi. From their exhaustive review emerged a new framework for analyzing and understanding value creation in these cross-sector partnerships. The importance and scope of their treatment led to the preparation of the sequential articles. Part I, published in the previous issue of NVSQ (vol.41, no. 5), presents the Collaborative Value Creation framework and elaborates its first two components: the Value Creation Spectrum that provides new reference terms for defining and analyzing value creation, and Collaboration Stages that reveals how value creation varies across different types of collaborative relationships. In this issue, the Part II lead article framework introduces the next two components: the Partnering Processes that unpack the value creation dynamics, and Collaboration Outcomes that examine the benefits and costs on multiple levels. This second part generates insights on how greater economic, social, and environmental value in collaboration is created for society, organizations and individuals, as we move from sole creation to co-creation and develop more inclusive processes. Collaborative Value Creation constitutes a central mechanism for addressing complex social issues and for generating multi-value creation leading to societal betterment. In these times of rising needs and diminishing resources, identifying insights into the way value is created, treated, and distributed requires deeper understanding and more systematic research that can lead to a paradigm change of what constitutes value. We believe that these articles will help move us in this direction by stimulating further thinking and investigation in this important emerging field. The last issue of the year is the one in which journal editors traditionally thank those who have made a contribution. We have many to thank for the performance of the journal over the past year, in volume 41. We begin with the members of the NVSQ Editorial Board in appreciation of their assistance, advice, and guidance. In addition to the Board and NVSQ authors and reviewers, we thank several individuals who worked “behind the scenes” to make publication of the journal possible -- and fulfilling -- over the past year. We are grateful to Micheal L. Shier for his dedicated service as Managing Editor of the journal. A Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice and a Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Social Work, Micheal holds the BSW and the MSW from the University of Calgary (Alberta, Canada) and the BA from the University of Lethbridge (Alberta, Canada). Although still a student, he is a well-published author with dozens of articles in peer reviewed journals. Micheal’s present research focuses on the intra- and interorganizational context in which transformative programs and initiatives are undertaken in human service organizations. We thank Dr. Joyce Gleason, who assists us in titling and editing manuscripts that have been accepted for publication in NVSQ, with the goal of making them more accessible to readers in the various fields encompassed by the ARNOVA membership

(and beyond) and in searches conducted electronically. A retired professor of economics, Joyce holds the B.A. and M.A. degrees in economics from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Nebraska. Her areas of specialization include economics education and the economics of transition. Over the past year we worked with several editorial assistants who have also earned our thanks: Eric Doremus, Jos Hooft, Carlo de Haas, and Vanessa Lacer. We are very grateful to Leah Fargotstein, our editor (and the Editor – Social Science Journals), Amrita Sinha, and Mimi Nguyen at Sage Publications. We also thank Kaitlyn Voyce for her contribution and good work. They manage, with what seems great ease, the complex task of getting your words dutifully on the printed page (and on line!), six times (issues) a year in a timely fashion. Although the journal title dutifully proclaims NVSQ to be a “quarterly,” in actuality it is a “six-te-ly.” (Why serve as Editors-in-Chief if we cannot invent a word or three every now and then?). In our two years as Editors-in-Chief we have grown to appreciate even more the contribution of these people, including all the authors who have submitted manuscripts to the journal. As evidenced by the rising Impact Factor, the increased volume of submissions, and our ability as editors to accommodate that increase, your dedication has been invaluable and has enhanced the value of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly to the field. Below we recognize the peer reviewers by name, with our thanks. Femida Handy Jeffrey L. Brudney Lucas C.P.M. Meijs We thank the peer reviewers for NVSQ for their service over the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. An asterisk indicates that the individual provided multiple reviews for the journal over this period.
