This issue of the journal has a dossier which has been coordinated by Dr Glòria Munilla on the subject of "Cultural Management, a New Discipline?"; as well as a series of articles on aspects ranging from technology in training geographers, troubadour love and chats, or the campaign to gain the .cat domain, to the use of internet searches as a tool to correct grammar.
With this issue, we are now taking further steps to consolidate the structure (advisors and editorial boards) and the peer review procedures, which are now fully operational, whilst the continual formal improvements have also borne fruit.
The journal has been included in a number of directories (scientific journal, library and general directories), both here and abroad, web pages and subject directories, and the main internet search engines, from amongst which we would highlight our inclusion in Latindex and DOAJ.
