Abstract	In this essay Nicholas C. Burbules reviews his experiences and the lessons he learned as editor of "Educational Theory" for more than twenty years, and he explores some of the normative choices that are inevitably made by any editor in carrying out his or her role. Burbules examines the relationship of a journal to its intellectual field; the review process; communications and interactions with authors; the process of editing and revising manuscripts; questions of representativeness in a theoretically pluralistic field; the business of journal publishing; and the dilemmas that confront an editor in terms of his or her own position and identity within a field. In all of these reflections, he examines the ethical and political background of the choices made, and how these in turn reveal deeper assumptions about the nature and purpose of academic publishing. The result is to "lift up the curtain" and reveal how one philosophically reflective and self-questioning editor handled his responsibilities. (As Provided).
