A Note from the Editors-in-Chief

Welcome to ITA in Review, a new cutting-edge publication that addresses, through diverse content, key developments in the field of international and domestic dispute resolution.

Welcome to Volume 4 of ITA in Review.

Four years ago, in 2018, after much work, planning, and collaboration, the ITA completed the creation of ITA in Review as its premier online journal.  We are honored to serve as the Co-Editors-in-Chief and are truly humbled by the growth and development of ITA in Review.

As we begin publishing Volume 4, we look back at the accomplishments of the last few years and to the future of ITA in Review.  We have challenged ourselves to innovate and publish interesting, thought-provoking, and useful content which is also interactive and engaging.  We recognize the value authors place on high-quality and unbiased peer review.  That is why all of our staff, including the Assistant Editors, Executive Editors, Content Editors, and Media Editor, are practitioners in the field and keen to provide the highest standard of review, editing, and publishing.  We have implemented rigorous peer review criteria, and this will be reflected in the quality of published articles.

We are on our third generation of Assistant Editors, with the newest class joining the ranks in 2022.  Our 2022 class of Assistant Editors is a talented class which will bring energy and passion to the editorial process.  We have high expectations of them, and we know they will meet them.

We are now included in HeinOnline and available to all its subscribers.  We value the partnership with HeinOnline and hope to develop further partnerships with similar databases.

This year we are striving to publish three issues.  However, the main challenge we face is to obtain adequate content.  For this reason, we invite you to consider ITA in Review for publication of your high-quality research, articles, book reviews, videos, and/or audio.

We are excited about realizing the potential of ITA in Review and wish to express our gratitude to the ITA leadership, particularly David Winn, for their—and his—continued support as we move forward.
