Atatürk University, which was established in 1957, is one of the oldest universities of Turkey. Atatürk University School of Medicine was found in 1962, and began the education life in 1964 [1]. The official journal of Atatürk University School of Medicine started the publication life as ‘Medical Bulletin of Atatürk University’ in Turkish language in 1968. In 1995, the name of the journal was changed as ‘Medical Journal of Atatürk University’. In 2006, the current name of the journal was approved as ‘The Eurasian Journal of Medicine’, and its publication language is English since 2008 [2]. The Eurasian Journal of Medicine is indexed by PubMed Central since 2008, by ULAKBIM/Turkish Medical Index since 2009, by Turkiye Citation Index, ProQuest, DOAJ, CINAHL, Gale/Cengage, and EBSCO since 2010, by Index Copernicus since 2011, by Scopus since 2012, and finally by ESCI/ Emerging Sources Citation Index beginning with 2015 [3]. The Eurasian Journal of Medicine is currently the official journal of Atatürk University School of Medicine, which is published three issues per year on February, June and October. The journal is aimed to be indexed by SCIE/Science
Citation Index expanded in near future as a general medicine journal with increasing recognition and impact in a geographic location which is bridging many cultures [2]. As known, the publication of a journal needs a team work, in which editors, members of the editorial board, other employees of the journal, and reviewers play important roles. We, as the editors of The Eurasian Journal of Medicine, are grateful for their helps in our success story.
