Abstract

The University of Zambia (UNZA) Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences (JONAS) has reached an editorial-board transition point in 2024, following the expiry of tenure of the current Editorial Board. This JONAS Vol. 6 Issue No. 2 is my last effort as Editor-in-Chief, having assumed office 10 years ago, in 2014. In this editorial I present my personal reflections on managing an academic journal from inception.
