Warmest congratulations on reaching these significant milestones! Securing an Impact Factor of 1.4 and a CiteScore of 1.7 for the 2025 citation year is a clear testament to the journal’s growing reach, academic rigor, and dedication to excellence.

The Journal of Hospital Management and Health Policy (JHMHP) stands as a vital platform for advancing global discourse in healthcare systems leadership, policy implementation, and organizational management. What distinguishes JHMHP is its interdisciplinary approach—bridging implementation science, administrative leadership, and health services research to address today’s most pressing operational and systemic challenges. Its open-access model, transparent editorial workflow, and commitment to scientific integrity reflect a deep dedication to public knowledge sharing and the equitable dissemination of actionable evidence.

By consistently highlighting transformative insights on organizational development, health disparities, and evidence-based practice, JHMHP provides researchers, practitioners, and policy leaders worldwide with indispensable perspectives.

As healthcare delivery continues to navigate unprecedented global complexities, my hope for JHMHP’s near future is that it continues to expand its global reach and authority. May the journal remain a premier outlet for rigorous, innovative research that shapes policy, improves hospital governance, and advances health equity across the world. I am honored to contribute to the success of JHMHP's public health impact.

It has been a privilege to serve on the Editorial Board of Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery and to contribute to a journal dedicated to advancing minimally invasive thoracic surgery. I congratulate the editorial team, reviewers, and authors on achieving this important milestone with the journal's latest impact factor and CiteScore. These accomplishments reflect the collective commitment of the thoracic surgery community to sharing high-quality scientific evidence and surgical innovation.

As a thoracic surgeon-scientist, I see firsthand the importance of bridging research and clinical practice. Our field is evolving rapidly, with advances in minimally invasive and robotic techniques, perioperative care, precision oncology, and translational research continually reshaping how we care for patients. Journals such as Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery play a vital role in ensuring these advances are rigorously evaluated, thoughtfully discussed, and widely disseminated..

I look forward to seeing Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery continue to grow as an international forum for high-quality clinical, translational, and educational scholarship. I encourage colleagues from around the world to share their work and experiences, helping to advance the science and practice of thoracic surgery for the benefit of our patients.

As an Associate Editor with the Journal of Spine Surgery (JSS) since 2019, it has been a privilege to watch our journal mature, grow in reach, and continually raise the bar. The success of JSS is a direct reflection of the dedication of our entire editorial board, our expert reviewers, and the high quality of research from our authors. It is also a testament to our Editorial Office, managing editors, and production staff, whose daily administrative and publishing efforts keep the journal moving forward. I am extremely proud of what our community has accomplished together.

We are pleased to mark an extraordinary milestone in our journal's history with the release of our first Impact Factor of 2.3 and CiteScore of 2.6. These achievements highlight the growing influence and visibility of the work published in JSS across the global surgical and orthopedic communities.

As we celebrate this momentum, I remain honored to serve on the board and look forward to contributing to the journal's continued evolution. On behalf of the editorial team, I extend my sincere gratitude to our contributors and readers for their support. I invite you to join us in this exciting next chapter by submitting your high-impact work, participating in our peer-review process, or sharing your perspectives and suggestions as we shape the future of spine care research together.
