A commitment to excellence

چکیده
The Korean Journal of Urology (KJU) has adopted “A commitment to excellence” as a slogan for 2015. Selected by members of the editorial board among various candidates, this slogan most accurately reflects the eagerness and passion of our members and our commitment to reaching excellence in the field of urology. To be an excellent journal in the f ield of urology, the KJU should be indexed in SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded; Thomson Reuters, New York, NY, USA), because this index provides powerful access to bibliographic and citation information. The KJU took a first step towards becoming an international journal in 2005 by being indexed in Scopus, and another step in 2010 by being indexed in PubMed and PubMed Central [1]. Furthermore, in the previous year, KJU took a giant leap forward by being indexed in MEDLINE, an internationally respected premier database in the field of biomedicine [2]. The impact factor of the KJU began to increase dramatically after being indexed in PubMed and PubMed Central. The most recent SCImago Journal Rank is 0.547 for 2013 (ranking 35/93 in urology); the value for cites per document for 2 years (previous impact index) is 1.24 and the ranking is 38/93 in urology. Recently, KJU revised the Information for Authors to broaden its scope and add new fields such as “genomics/ stem cells in urology” and “geriatric urology.” The field of genomics and stem cells in urology is an emerging one in urological research. The KJU welcomes original articles from genomic medicine and stem cell research to be incorporated into the field of urology. Geriatric urology is a special field of urology. A new society for the study of geriatric urology was established in the Korean Urological Association last year. Also, there was a minor change in the field name from “voiding dysfunction” to “lower A commitment to excellence
