When detergents were invented over a half-century ago, the manufacturers confronted a problem. This new cleaning product was very unlike the soap flakes that consumers were then utilizing to do their laundry. Instead of being a bulky solid, it was a concentrated liquid. As a result, very few housewives were convinced that the product would work as well as their old stand-bys. Its producers addressed this problem by creating solid detergents and then bulking them up with fillers. This reassured their customers and the rest is history. Indeed, it hasn’t been until recently that concentrated liquid detergents have assumed a premium quality. It has taken this long for the public to change its mind about how to clean its clothes. Today we are contorted with the question of how to organize an on-line periodical such as The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology. The tendency has been to create a format that apes those of traditional printed journals. These consist largely of compendia of conventional articles, with perhaps a collection of appended book reviews, and maybe several letters to the editor. Although computer based publication allows for unprecedented flexibility (including in publication schedule), the impulse is to stick to the tried and true. It is as if only the established means of publishing are legitimate. What is forgotten is the purpose of publication in the first place—and that is the furtherance of the scientific enterprise. This said, it is the intention of The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology to live up to its title. To this end, we the editors wish to share our editorial philosophy in the hope that this will encourage participation in our endeavor. First and foremost, our goal is to promote scientific advances. The objective is to increase our sociological knowledge on both the pure and applied level. We intend to serve as a platform for genuine efforts to expand what we know about how the social world works and/or how it can be made to work. This is a large order—one that sometimes significantly departs from careerist objectives—nevertheless, we believe it a worthy one. To begin with, the journal aspires to be professional. The intention is to promote “a self-motivated expertise” in sociology. We believe that knowledge is a precious commodity that deserves to be fostered in its own right. Instead of merely seeking publication, we hope that potential authors will also be inspired by this goal; that is, that they too will
