Editorial

Abstract

Welcome to the fourth issue of the Engineering Project Organization Journal (EPOJ). This issue represents the conclusion of a momentous year for this journal and for its sponsoring organization, the Engineering Project Organization Society (EPOS). With this issue, the journal has successfully completed its first year of publication with 17 technical papers and 2 special Pathfinder papers. The papers represent technical diversity in their topics to reflect the broad themes of engineering project organization research. Of equal importance, the papers include authors from every region and multiple disciplines. This diversity reflects the original intentions of this journal to cross boundaries and highlight the contributions to this field of inquiry from multiple disciplines and perspectives. On behalf of the Editorial Board, I thank all of the authors and reviewers who have made this first year a success. As we close this first volume, I am excited to be looking forward to continuing this diversity in Volume 2. This next year will include special issues on social science contributions to engineering research and project collaboration as well as a continuing focus on publishing papers from each of the primary journal themes. I encourage everybody to continue contributing to the journal, as the journal is only as strong as its contributions.
