Kim and Kang: Messages from the new Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board, journal metrics and statistics, and appreciation to reviewers
We are honored to serve as the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (APM). The editorial staff will continue to be committed to the success of this outstanding journal.
APM has made noteworthy advancements, gained recognition, and improved its position as an international publication in the field of anesthesiology, including perioperative management, critical care, and pain. We sincerely thank the previous editor-in-chief, Young-Cheol Woo, and the former editorial boards for their passion, vision, and commitment to the journal, which made the growth possible on behalf of the community.
Our main goals for APM in the coming years are to a) raise its profile in the clinical and research community and advance its position toward the top journal in this area; b) keep searching for and publishing excellent reviews and original articles that offer the most up-to-date clinical and research information; c) maintain the quality, standard, and transparency of our editorial and review process while fast-tracking the actual response time to submissions; and d) strengthen the regional and global network to better meet the needs of our society and the scientific community.
To accomplish these goals, the APM editorial team will actively seek the most recent and intriguing research papers and communicate with the members of the Korean Society of Anesthesiologists, subsocieties of the Korean Society of Anesthesiologists, and other global scholars in this field.
