Abstract
It is not a particularly auspicious way for a new editorial team to begin, but we need to acknowledge an error in the production of issue 71/2. The wrong versions of two articles were sent to the production team at SAGE, and the mistake was not discovered until production was too far along for the necessary changes to be made. The most significant problems were with Srdjan Vucetic’s excellent article on the F-35, as the originally-submitted version of the article was sent to the printer and posted under the article-of-record DOI. This original version was drafted before the 2015 election, and does not include Dr. Vucetic’s acknowledgement of feedback from Philippe Lagassé. Also affected was Stephen Saideman’s penetrating assessment of the state of Canadian scholarship on International Relations; an early version of the article appeared rather than the final revision. IJ readers are strongly encouraged to seek out the correct, updated versions of the articles, which can be accessed on the SAGE web page for IJ at http://ijx.sagepub.com/content/71/2.toc. We sincerely apologize to Dr. Vucetic, Dr. Saideman, and to IJ readers for these errors, and any consequent confusion or inconvenience. We are also implementing new safeguards to prevent a recurrence, and working with SAGE to improve our production process. If you have any questions about this, or about the steps we are taking to prevent production errors like this in the future, please feel free to email us directly at
