It is with a great sense of honour and humility that I step into the role of Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology. It is a challenging mission for me to succeed Professor Feyza Darendeliler as Editor-in-Chief who drove the journal forward from the very beginning. JCRPE became one of the outstanding journals in Pediatric Endocrinology field under her visionary leadership.
I wish to express my sincere thanks to her for nearly two decades of dedication in guiding the JCRPE from its first issue to the excellent reputation it has today. We will continue to benefit her wisdom as she accepted to function as “honorary EIC”.
I approach the role of EIC with gratitude for her and excitement for what lies ahead. My goal is to further develop the JCRPE as a unique and powerful platform for the European and the world-wide clinical research to strengthen expertise and visibility in key areas of Pediatric Endocrinology.
I am very fortunate to work with an established, excellent team of associate editors who are all committed to contribute to the successful development of JCRPE. I trust their continuing support in taking this responsibility.
I take this opportunity to thank also editorial board members, Galenos Publishing House, managing editorial staff and Jeremy Jones for their meticulous work for each article to be published and generous support of Turkish Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes. Your contributions are greatly acknowledged, and I look forward to continuing our successful and pleasant collaboration.
Aside from that, we would not even exist without our esteemed authors and reviewers. So, I am excited about receiving more of your excellent pediatric endocrinology research articles to the JCRPE in the future, and I count on all clinicans/researchers to offer their valuable time acting as reviewers.
Although replacing someone who has founded and represented the Journal for so long is a major task, I believe that serving as an Associate Editor for years has prepared me to take over the EIC role, so the transition should go smoothly.
I am looking forward to working with all reserchers and clinicians in the field throughout the world to make JCRPE a truely global platform and a flagship journal in Pediatric Endocrinology.
