Thoughts on the twentieth anniversary of Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Directed by Chinese Medical Association and Society of Endocrinology and under the kind care and instruction of Prof. Zhu Xian-yi and Prof. Kuang An-kun (well-known clinical endocrinologists in China), with strong support from Shanghai Second Medical College and Ruijin Hospital, while the editorial board and Shanghai Institute of Endocrinology responsible for its editing and publication, Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism (CJEM) started publication in 1985 and the present year we are happy to celebrate its twentieth anniversary. With the efforts of the whole members and staff of successive editorial board and editorial office, and with the enthusiastic submissions from experts and doctors of various disciplines over the country, CJEM has kept constant progress in the past years. Started as quarterly, CJEM has moved forward to be a bimonthly journal, with expanded length and increased number of articles on each volume as well as rising impact factor. To our joy, CJEM has become an important field for academic exchanges among scientists and clinicians engaged in endocrinology. Importantly, CJEM has gradually formed its unique characteristics. Articles are classified according to different topics which are closely related to key breakthroughs in the field of endocrinology. It supports academic contention, provides field for basic research and reports conference summaries in time. I sincerely hope CJEM could make vigorous efforts to get more and more improvements in the future, making greater contribution to the development of endocrinology in China.
