Psychosocial Intervention enters a new phase

With this issue, Psychosocial Intervention (Intervención Psicosocial) enters a new phase. This journal first appeared in 1992 and it now celebrates 20 years of existence. This anniversary represents an excellent and motivating opportunity to give new direction and fresh impetus to the journal. 2010 was a year of transition. During that period, a complete renewal of the editorial team has taken place, and the editorial scope of the journal has been redefined and broadened. After this transitional year, and with the release of Volumen 20, this change has been consolidated. Among the various characteristics which define this new phase, its vocation to become more international (both in terms of readers and authors) undoubtedly stands out. The journal's new editorial team clearly reflects this vocation, as it consists of scholars from eleven countries in four continents. The publication has also changed its main title to Psychosocial Intervention, although the cover keeps its parallel title in Spanish (Intervención Psicosocial). Likewise, starting from this issue, the journal includes manuscripts in English and Spanish. Psychosocial Intervention is a journal published in Spain and Spanish-speaking countries have traditionally been its natural audience. However, our target in this new phase is to reach a larger international audience by increasing the number of manuscripts in English. At the same time, we intend to provide a more widespread dissemination of manuscripts in English, so that they may reach a wider audience, including those readers who only read in Spanish. In order to achieve this, the journal will offer to its readers a new resource: Psychosocial Intervention will include a Spanish translation (only available online) of articles originally written in English. Thus, readers with a low level of proficiency in English can have access to quality research originally published in this language by Psychosocial Intervention. Furthermore, authors writing in English, whose work traditionally has not reached Spanish-speaking readers, will have at their disposal a means to reach a wider audience. Finally, the journal can now offer a new web page where readers will find the electronic version of Psychosocial Intervention (http://www.psychosocial-intervention. org).

We sincerely hope that readers of this journal find these new features of interest, and share the new editorial team's enthusiasm. We also welcome all those who wish to share and contribute to this new project.
