Dear Colleagues,
After serving for 17 years as Editor in Chief of the Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology (JCRPE), the time has come for me to step down and pass the flag to the new Editor in Chief, Prof. Dr. Adullah Bereket.
It has been a great privilage and an honour for me in my academic career to initiate and to guide the development of JCRPE from its earliest days to its current standing position as a respected platform for scientific exchange in the field of pediatric endocrinology. When we started this journey, we had a vision to create a journal that would cover high quality research, increase collaboration and support clinicians in understanding and treating pediatric endocrine disorders. Thanks to the dedication of the authors who submitted their studies, reviewers, editorial board members and our readers - that vision became a reality.
I would also like to thank Galenos Publishing House that has supported us from the beginning and Jeremy Jones who has done a comprehensive work in the editing process.
I would like to express my special thanks to the Associate Editors who have worked very hard in continuing to increasing the high standards of JCRPE.
I am also deeply grateful to the many researchers, clinicians and international opinion leaders who supported us with their work, as well as to the peer reviewers whoso expertise made it possible to maintain our high standards.
Throughout these years, I have had the honour of witnessing the remarkable growth of our journal and the pediatric endocrinology community it serves.
I thank you all who made this possible with continuing support and commitment. Without the collective team work this would not have been possible.
As I step down, I know with confidence that the journal is in good hands and will continue to evolve with the needs of the international medical community.
I look forward to seeing JCRPE reach new milestones under Prof. Dr Abdullah Bereket’s new leadership and I am proud to be part of its story and history.
Best Regards,
Feyza Darendeliler
Former Editor in Chief
