Dear SSJ Forum members,

We would like to make an exciting announcement about our important developments to the journal.
SSJJ has switched its manuscript submission and review process to ScholarOne, a leading online publication service. As more than 4,000 journals worldwide currently use this service, we believe that it will enable us to provide a more standardized submission and review experience for authors and referees, as well as more timely information to authors on the status of their manuscripts. To submit a manuscript to SSJJ, please go to our submission page at
http://www.oxfordjournals.org/page/4466/1 where you will be asked to create an account.

We believe that authors, reviewers, and readers find this change helpful, as we continue our efforts to improve SSJJ.
