Editorial: Celebrating the Journal's Next Evolutionary Step

摘要

For eleven years, Neuro-Oncology has led the charge to report on the progress of the broad community of scientists and physicians working, directly or indirectly, to improve care for patients with brain tumors. The journal started, as journals do, as a dream, a hope, a sparkle in someone's eye-in this case, founding editor Darell Bigner's eye and the eyes of those at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation who saw a need for a journal that would fulfill a particular mission: to educate the international neuro-oncology community with high-quality, rapidly disseminated information from all areas of the field.rnWith time, the journal has grown and flourished, first attaining an impact factor number reached by only a minority of journals and then increasing in frequency from quarterly to bimonthly.
