Editorial: Practitioners Wha Hae

What practice the practitioners? They don't practice writing articles for this journal. They do complain, though, that we don't print enough articles by practitioners.

We all know why academics write and practitioners don't. For our profession (and this journal) to remain healthy we must redress this imbalance. But I don't know how to encourage practitioners to write more applications articles for this journal. The annual TIMS/CPMS awards competition is the best vehicle we have so far and a number of our other applications articles are from entrants in that competition.
