In this editorial, the Editor remarks on what a privilege and honor it is to be selected as Editor for Psychological Bulletin. She also discusses the history of the journal, noting that under the leadership of 19 outstanding editors, Psychological Bulletin has been the flagship journal of psychology review for over 100 years. She further explains that unique to Psychological Bulletin is a general perspective that synthesizes the state of a scientific question and illuminates new understanding. This century-long editorial quest has proceeded through a meticulous and precise labor that keeps psychology interconnected with other disciplines (e.g., public health, economics, artificial intelligence, and communication). A sample of 332 articles spanning the journal�s history, with three articles sampled randomly for each year of the journal�s publication, reveals 78 represented thematic areas of such multidisciplinary concern as drug and alcohol use; health and mental health treatment and prevention; cardiovascular disorders; linguistics, language, and speech; personnel attitudes and job satisfaction; cognitive processes; attention; and rehabilitation. The Bulletin just speaks to many other fields, which is probably the reason it currently has the highest impact factor score of all psychology journals.
