Global composition of the Editorial Board (EB) is a beautiful core feature of the Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. International diversity of the EB in 2020 became represented by 26 opinion leaders from 13 countries (Table 1).

 

The biggest number of EB editors and members from United States (8 persons) and the second highest number from Ukraine (5 persons) tells us how strong the editorial bridge between two countries was built during the five years of journal`s existence. Moreover, the fact that two United States surgeons1,2 and one Canadian have Ukrainian roots symbolized that our journal is not only a new English-language flourishing publication in Ukraine and Eastern Europe but also a new one that unites surgeons with Ukrainian ancestors from all around the world.

 

Congratulations on the launching of a new journal. I wish you success. Thank you

as well for your invitation to participate on the Editorial Board

I would be delighted to do so.

the opportunity to make my motherland proud!

Simultaneously with geographical diversity, EB faced 2021 with a next gender distribution: 11.53 percent women, 88.47 percent men, 0 percent non-binary/other, and 0 percent prefer not to disclose. Furthermore, taking into account a steady increase in the proportion of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery trainees and specialists who are females3 we can predict that number of females in the EB can grow.

 

In November`s editorial4 we talked about journal`s evolution with a help of technologies (like high-tech website), and this issue`s analysis highlights another aspect of growth with a help of global editorial collaboration. So, we are happy to make those two steps in progress with our international editors because website functionality and editorial board composition are two of 24 quality criteria of the Web of Science journal evaluation process and selection criteria.5 Criteria which can help us to reach a goal each journal`s staff is very proud of―getting the first Impact Factor.
