Greetings from the New Editor-in-Chief

It is a great honor for me to take over the position of Editorin-Chief of the Brain Tumor Research and Treatment (BTRT), following the former Editor-in-Chief, Professor Heon Yoo of National Cancer Center. I feel privileged to thank Professor Yoo, the first Editor-in-Chief of the journal, for his excellent work and commitment to BTRT for five long years. BTRT has evolved from the Journal of Korean Brain Tumor Society, which published its first edition in 2002. BTRT currently is the official journal of The Korean Brain Tumor Society (KBTS), The Korean Society for Neuro-Oncology (KSNO), and The Korean Society for Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (KSPNO). The aim of BTRT is to publish the highest quality papers which are dedicated to the advancement of care of patients with central nervous system tumors. BTRT was launched in April 2013, published twice a year electronically and in print. It covered the whole field of neuro-oncology from molecular genetics to surgical neuro-oncology and has established itself as a major journal in the field of central nervous system tumor treatment and research. All of the articles in this journal are indexed in PubMed Central, PubMed, KoreaMed, KoreaMed Synapse, and KRF/ KCI. Although the BTRT has made a remarkable advancement for last 5 years since its first publication, the result falls short of our expectation. It is regrettable that we still did not reach the aim, to be enlisted as the SCI(E) class, we founded five years ago when the inaugural issue was introduced.
