him the latest issue of the journal. While acting with the courtesy and professionalism characteristic of a great Editor, Professor Glick made an exacting analysis of the content of the journal. He was appreciative of the fact that the articles published are accompanied by an evaluation form and the journal is also published online, with a monthly average of 5,000 unique visitors, topping over 94,000 readers, including more than 23,000 in the US. Professor Glick suggested that we should maintain a constant number of online readers; that we should go from two to four annual issues; that we should use the structure of BDJ, JADA, JPD and other major publications, and that each issue should be co-ordinated by two editors whose responsibility would be to avoid unwanted mistakes. As there is nothing accidental about globalization, we had another good friend of ours in Bucharest, namely Professor Adi A. Garfunkel, Dean Emeritus in Jerusalem and Professor Glick’s master. For years on end, while he was in Bucharest, Professor Adi A. Garfunkel was so thoughtful that he provided me with a lot of helpful advice during my term as director of the “Professor Dan Theodorescu” OMF Surgery Hospital. With a lot of enthusiasm and generosity, so typical of him, he asked Professor Michael Glick to get involved in promoting the visibility our journal and for each issue to offer 3 items with JADA CE Credits to the US readers. We are now waiting to see the result of Professor Michael Glick’s request addressed to Mr Michael Springer, JADA Publisher, to get the 3 JADA CE Credits articles for the first issue of the Stomatology Edu Journal. May the forthcoming Easter holiday bring light to the Stomatology Edu Journal readers, members and non- members of the American Dental Association (ADA). So help us God!
