Welcome to the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Anesthesia (JOMA).
It is with my heartfelt congratulations to mark JOMA's significant milestone, as JOMA has achieved the First Impact Factor of 0.9 and a CiteScore of 0.7.
JOMA is a uniquely designed journal covering a broad range of topics related to oral and maxillofacial anesthesia, including basic science and clinical advances in the field. The emphasis on evidence-based clinical outcomes is a prominent and important aspect of the journal. The editorial teams, reviewers, contributors, and the editorial board members are leaders in their respective fields.
JOMA will provide an opportunity for readers to enrich their knowledge and to be part of a unique, comprehensive, and rewarding educational journal. JOMA reflects the concept of applying basic biological science, pharmacologic therapies, tissue engineering, and clinical sciences to develop and apply innovative techniques in oral and maxillofacial anesthesia. Most importantly, outcomes are based on valid, hypothesis-driven, analytic clinical studies. JOMA is committed to helping its readers and clinicians enhance the quality of anesthesia care provided to their patients.
Congratulations, and many more years of excellence and success!
