2023 Impact Factor
Dear Colleagues,
2024 was a year of many challenges and changes. However, we were able to overcome these difficulties and develop further thanks to your support and the wonderful works of the editorial board. In particular, the feedback and opinions of our readers will provide us with directions for our future, and based on these, we would be able to cover more in-depth articles with diverse topics. We always welcome your any form of feedbacks and opinions. Submissions from international researchers were maintained until today; 41 of the 66 published papers in 2024 were from international contributions other than Korea, which make up 60% of all published articles over the past year. In detail, there were 148/177 contributions by authors from 25 countries other than Korea.
The new year of 2025 has eventually come. We hope that you and your family will be filled with health and happiness in the new year. In 2025, we will do our best to meet your expectations through more innovative and creative research articles and extend our contents to new and important clinical issues and perspectives with new platform. In addition, we will do our best to deliver practical and meaningful value to our readers through more active cooperation with the editorial board over the world.
We ask for your continuous interest and encouragement this year as well, and we hope that every moment to come will bring you happiness and success in 2025.
Happy New Year!
