Welcome to JDFSL’s fourth and final issue for 2014!<br /><br />First, I would like to thank our editorial board, reviewers, and the JDFSL team for bringing this issue to life. It has been a big year for JDFSL as the journal continues to progress. I would like to highlight our critical achievements for 2014 before touching on<br />the papers that were accepted in this issue:<br /><br />    1. JDFSL has gone to a fully open access model without author payment through support from academic institutions.<br />    2. JDFSL has formed and continues to form partnerships with various conferences that relate to cyber security and forensics.<br />    3. JDFSL has improved its indexing and the editorial staff and publisher are pushing hard to get the journal indexed by as many reputable indexing services<br />as possible.<br />    4. JDFSL has revamped its Web site.<br />    5. JDFSL welcomed new members to the editorial board<br />    6. JDFSL’s Web site and various articles gained more visibility due to media backlinks.<br /><br />It is critical to note that these achievements would have not been possible without the support of the digital forensics community and all JDFSL stakeholders. I would like to thank each and every person that has been involved in pushing the boundaries of open access publishing in our domain, while maintaining rigor, quality and feasibility.
