Australia and the UK covering a range of clinical caseloads from toddlers to adults. We are also pleased to showcase authors with a range of perspectives—from Sophie Chalmers who writes about clinicians collating and sharing evidence resources; to Sam Harvey’s paper where he discusses open access to evidence as a PhD candidate; and to Elise Baker who applies her expertise and writes about planning and implementing evidence within a paediatric case scenario. We’re also pleased to include an introductory paper on implementation science and knowledge translation from our guest writers Hazel Roddam and Jemma Skeat. Hazel has 25 years’ experience as a clinical SLP in UK, plus 15 years as an academic researcher. She currently works as an independent consultant for research and evaluation in allied health practice. Hazel has been commissioned by Health Education England to write a new research strategy for all 14 allied health disciplines that will be published at the end of 2021. Jemma is lead of clinical programs and a senior lecturer in the Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology. She has over 20 years of clinical and research experience focusing on evidence-based practice, outcome measurement and population health. Her current research and teaching interests include collaborative (interdisciplinary) practice, qualitative research, evidence-based practice and clinical learning. As well as a great variety of papers, the JCPSLP editorial committee has put together columns that explore the topic of implementation science and knowledge translation. In Ethical conversations , Suze Leitão and Grant Meredith explore the ethical obligations that arise in the process of implementation science for both researchers and clinicians with Dave Parsons. In the Around the journals column we have reviews of some relevant articles from Lindy McAllister and Elizabeth Cole. Elizabeth is an Australian SLP who now lives in Malaysia and Lindy is one of our most eminent academics with a long history of teaching SLP in Vietnam. Together Lindy and Elizabeth lookat issues of implementation science from an international perspective. In this issue’s Evidence matters column, Cori Williams has gathered the perspectives from past and present JCPSLP editors. In Top ten tips , Amanda Owen Van Horne writes very practical advice on what implementation science means to you in your workplace. In the Resource review , Anna Farrell and Erin Kelly write about the Allied Health—Translating Research into Practice (AH-TRIP) process for implementing research evidence. Last but not least, we’d like to take this opportunity to welcome new members to our editorial committee: Lindy McAllister, Alexia Rhode and Leah Hanley. We’re also saying farewell and thank you to Laurelie Wishart. She has been co-ordinating Viewpoints and Around the journals columns but is stepping down to take on a different role as Mum. That’s all from us. We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we have. Andy and Kat
