Welcome to volume five, issue two of the Journal of African Real Estate Research (JARER). As noted in the editorial of the first issue this year, JARER continues to be a significant medium through which research on African real estate markets is disseminated. We are witnessing an increasing trend in the rate of submissions and the review turnover timing is becoming more encouraging. Our appreciation goes to our reviewers and editorial board who have, despite the unforeseen challenges this year has brough, have dedicated their time and efforts to make this issue possible. We thank the board members of the African Real Estate Society, the Library services at the University of Cape Town, and Managing Editor, Luke Boyle from the Urban Real Estate Research, who has been working diligently in managing the publication process. In addition, we appreciate the support provided by IRES, ERES and Prof. Karl-Werner Schulte and his team from the IREBS at Regensburg University. The special issue focussing on showcasing real estate related research spearheaded by African women is progressing nicely. The special issue has attracted a number of submissions, mostly from new authors, and we are encouraged by the broadening support of the journal that this has demonstrated. Guest editors, Karen Gibler and Geci Karuri-Sebina, have worked tirelessly in coordinating the special issue and providing mentorship to the authors. Most of the articles are in their advanced stages and the issue is on track for publication before June 2021.

PurposeThe Asian real estate markets have grown considerably in recent years and have taken on increased investment importance, particularly with significant developments in the emerging markets in Asia. This paper assesses the opportunities for more research on the Asian real estate markets, by highlighting the significance of Asia real estate, the drivers behind this growth and the unique opportunities this presents for high-quality real estate research, by both local researchers and their international colleagues. Strategies for delivering this research agenda are also identified.Design/methodology/approachThis research is based on a thorough understanding of the Asian real estate markets, based on my own research agenda, personal interactions, insights and extensive discussions with real estate leaders in the Asian markets. This is supported by a clear understanding of the real estate research opportunities in the Asian markets and the strategies needed to deliver this research agenda in an effective manner.FindingsA range of real estate research areas are identified to increase the level of Asian real estate research. This sees research opportunities around key areas such as market dynamics, real estate investment vehicles, alternate real estate sectors, infrastructure and sustainability. Strategies for expanding this level of research for both local and international real estate researchers are also identified.Practical implicationsWith the Asian real estate markets taking on more importance with many international real estate investors, it is important to see more high-quality research into these dynamic real estate markets. This research will see a fuller understanding of these Asian real estate markets to enable more informed real estate investment decision-making.Originality/valueThe need for more high-quality research into the Asian real estate markets is clearly presented, with enabling strategies to achieve this agenda identified. This will see expanded research opportunities to critically research these unique real estate markets and produce high-quality research publications.

Welcome to the Volume 4 (2019) Issue 2 edition of the Journal of African Real Estate Research (JARER). So far, JARER has been providing valuable resources supporting academics and professional researchers throughout the African continent. The journal continues to offer an exciting platform for the dissemination of scholarships and the different types of applied research within the real estate sector in Africa. JARER reflects one of the objectives of the African Real Estate Society (AfRES) to promote research and education among property professionals and academics across the continent. We have undergone some recent changes at JARER with the reconstitution of the Editorial Board to bring in greater diversity to the journal. This issue represents the final issue with the existing Editorial Board, and I would like to take this opportunity to show my gratitude to the hard work and dedication that it has demonstrated in ensuring the success of JARER to date. The achievements we have accomplished could not have been down without them. Thank you.

Canada's biomedical research community was deeply saddened by the untimely death of Graham Mainwood on June 10, 1990, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.A native of Birmingham, U.K., Graham joined the Physiology Department at the fledgling Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa in 1955. Since then, he has been a tireless force in building the reputation of the Department and of the Faculty. He became well known beyond Canada's borders for his studies on the electrophysiology and energetics of muscle and the mechanism of fatigue. His work on the effects of lactate flux and the role of changes in intracellular pH in muscle fatigue (e.g., Mainwood and Worsley-Brown 1975; Mainwood and Cechetto 1982; Renaud, Allard, and Mainwood 1986) is still cited in virtually every paper in this area. These studies, together with an ongoing interest in cardiac muscle, formed a natural platform from which he moved into the area of the elucidation of muscle metabolism by means of magnetic resonance spectroscopy–work he was actively pursuing up to the time of his death. Indeed, he had taken early retirement to be able to spend more time at the bench at the National Research Council of Canada. Three of the papers in this special issue arise from this work.All of us have been greatly touched by his sparkling intellect and generous helpfulness. We felt that the most appropriate way to recognize Graham's contributions to science and to our personal scientific development was to dedicate to his memory a special issue of the Journal which he served with distinction as a member of the Editorial Board for many years.
