The strategy of information dissemination in a specific field
Marian-Vladimir Constantinescu DDS, PhD, Professor
Editor-in-Chief
Dear readers, As a member of the editorial board of our Journal, we have been trying, together with the other two Editors-in-Chief, Professor Jean-François Roulet( University of Florida) and Professor Rolf Ewers( Medical University of Vienna), to promote the Stomatology Edu Journal as much and as well as possible within the international academic community via all communication channels. There has been no scientific event which I attended without my introducing our Journal and also asking for original manuscripts to be published by our young Journal. If we analyze the calendar of editorial events of this year which is coming to an end, there are significant events that I am very pleased to share with you. Due to the spirit of openness to make full use of dissemination of scientific information that promotes high quality research, and the extraordinary generosity of Professor Michael Glick, Editor of the American Dental Association Journal, JADA, Mr. Michael Springer, Publisher, JADA, Mr. Nawin Gupta, Director of Business Operations, ADA and Mrs Stefanie K. Jewell-Thomas, Elsevier, our readers are now the recipients of 1 article with CE Program FAQs for every one of our issues. This comes as an additional incentive for our readers. For this year ' s last issue of the Stomatology Edu Journal, the American Dental Association was so generous to provide our readers with access to Baking Soda Dentifrices and Oral Health articles; the five articles were published as a supplement to JADA ' s November 2017 issue( Volume 148, Number 11); readers may participate in the associated CE online activity( free-ofcharge) to earn 2 CE credits. Since the online edition of the Stomatology Edu Journal’ s first issue, in March this year there were over 94,000 readers, out of which over 23,000 in the US; now in early December, the fourth issue has more than 130,000 readers out of which over 45,000 readers in the US who visited more than 1,150,000 pages. 1 This year as well, the visibility of the print and online editions of the Stomatology Edu Journal has been enhanced by Crossref ' s assignment of a unique alphanumeric string, the Digital Object Identifier( DOI). This DOI identification is assigned to all published articles starting with the first issue. It was by using the DOI identifier that Professor David C. Watts, PhD, FADM, Professor of Biomaterials at the University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kindom, Editor-in-Chief of Dental Materials, published by Elsevier for The Academy of Dental Materials, found the Editorial written by Professor Roulet for the 2nd issue of the Stomatology Edu Journal. 2 Professor David C. Watts requested the full reproduction of the editorial written by Professor Roulet in Dental Materials.
