Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: IntroductionScience Education research and its impact on theory and practice are critical levers for creating a more just and engaging science education experience for all learners.As we begin our five-year editorial tenure, the Journal of Research in Science Teaching (JRST), like so many academic journals, faces both challenge and possibility.We are honored to serve as Co-Editors-in-Chief of NARST's flagship journal, to uphold this publication's long tradition of excellence by increasing participation, contributions, and readership from a global community.We extend our deep gratitude to Dr. Felicia Moore Mensah and Dr. Troy Sadler, whose thoughtful leadership over the past five years strengthened JRST's commitments to equity, diversity, and rigorous open science, and whose proactive measures established the journal's initial policy on the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in research and publication.Their work has positioned JRST to navigate a rapidly changing scholarly landscape while remaining grounded in the enduring values of transparency, integrity, and inclusivity.
