Renovating the History of the Korean Journal of Orthodontics
نویسنده
چکیده
As the official publication of the Korean Association of Orthodontists (KAO), KJO has a long history of serving the orthodontic community close and far. Since its first issue was printed in 1970, its publication frequency has increased from yearly to biennially in 1981, triennially in 1989, and then quarterly in 1992 all in Korean language. Beginning in 1995, the journal has been published bimonthly to include at least one full issue in English in a given year depending on the submission volume of manuscripts. My personal view is that, from that point on, a motion was set for internationalization of the journal to go beyond a regional scope. Later in 2008, KJO has been indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) of the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI), which has served as a platform to become a global orthodontic journal. Subsequently, the plans and executive decisions to promote the journal’s international circulation have eventually materialized as an orthodontic scientific publication limited to the English language as of 2012.
