As a celebration of your presence in the editorial team in 2018, the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J) was
evaluated and accepted by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) [7] and in the months ahead we are
looking forward to the assessment by PubMed Central (PMC) and Clarivate.
Our objective is to provide an upward development of the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J), therefore it
is necessary that the activity of the editorial board should be in line with the idea on teamwork uttered by the
founder of the American automobile industry Henry Ford (1863-1947): "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping
together is progress. Working together is a success."
As it is known, since 2016 the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J) has been published under the auspices of
the Romanian Academy, the highest scientific forum in Romania founded in 1866.
This year, the Romanian Academy has elected a new president, Professor Ioan-Aurel Pop, historian and a
particularly active scholar.
In the meeting he had with the publishers of magazines included in the portfolio of the Romanian Academy, he
set their increase in quality as a priority. He suggested that all the publishers’ activity should be evaluated at the
end of this year. If an editor has not contributed any article for the last three years, it has been suggested to replace
him with another editor.
Please take note of this provision and review your work at the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J) accordingly.
In order to respond to the invitation launched by the Romanian Academy to stimulate the international circulation
of scientific information via the electronic archive - "Academica Romanian Index", let me renew my request
addressed to every publisher who wishes to bring his scientific contribution to the Stomatology Edu Journal
(Stoma Edu J) to send, by September 15, a CV of maximum 250 words on the contribution in the field, surname,
names, scientific titles, current administrative titles, the logo of the institution and a recent color photograph 3.5
x 4.5 cm.
To enhance the quality of the articles published by the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J), and in order to
honor Professor Adi A Garfunkel, from the Hebrew University Hadassah Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel, a life-long
friend and editor of our Journal, master of Professor Michael Glick, Editor of the Journal of The American Dental
Association, JADA, we have created the "Award Professor Adi A Garfunkel" since 2019 that will be awarded to the
most widely read and cited article of the previous year.
Let me thank you for allowing your name to be present in the Editorial Board throughout these five years and
please do not forget that the over 145,500 readers of the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J) are waiting to
read an article written by you and colleagues as soon as possible.
