In 2006, Times Higher Education Supplement ranked the University of Melbourne 22nd in the world. Because of the drop in ranking, University of Melbourne is currently behind four Asian universities - Beijing University, 2001- Simon Marginson, Monash University When Professor Gabrielle Lakomski commenced her term as editor, she established a number of objectives for the journal. In addition to maintaining the Australian Journal of Education as a forum for the dissemination and discussion of the best available research from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, she flagged an intention to place greater emphasis on the critical examination of the ways in which education knowledge is acquired and justified, and to place greater stress on international perspectives and directions relevant to Australian education. Volumes 40 to 44 of the journal reflect these intentions, with increased attention to methodologies of research and with a growth in contributions from researchers outside Australia. Professor Lakomski also introduced during her editorship the `Critical Dialogue' section to explore education issues through a feature article, critical response and rejoinder The answer made by a defendant in the second stage of Common-Law Pleading that rebuts or denies the assertions made in the plaintiff's replication. The rejoinder allows a defendant to present a more responsive and specific statement challenging the allegations made on issues such as statistical methods, initial teacher education, and the place of history in the school curriculum. Another new feature in Volumes 40 to 44 was the annual thematic issue on topics including professional practice, education and cognition, and higher education institutions in the 21st century. Through these and other initiatives, Professor Lakomski made a special mark and very significant contribution in enhancing the Australian Journal of Education as a forum in which key issues in Australian education are considered and debated. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her intellectual leadership, hard work and dedication to the journal over the past five years. Geoff N.
