Message from the Editor Emeritus of the Journal of the International Academy of Periodontology – January 2018

Authors: Mark R. Patters

Abstract

This issue of the Journal of the International Academy of Periodontology marks the beginning of the twentieth year of publication. I am pleased and honored to have served as the Editor of the Journal since 1999, when then IAP President Thomas Van Dyke conceived of expanding the IAP mission through publication and dissemination of periodontal research in an IAP journal. Although during the first few years the Journal was faced with challenges, as all new journals are, we have subsequently developed a strong and dedicated Editorial Board and excellent reviewers with broad scientific expertise. In addition, utilizing the skills of a very experienced scientific editor, we have been able to offer assistance in editing of English grammar, vocabulary and syntax, so that authors with limited abilities in English composition but papers of strong scientific merit have a venue for scientific publication.
