Further to our first announcement in the March 2009 issue, we are pleased to promote now in this issue the second innovation of this year. In order to offer our Chinese colleagues an international platform to publish their work in spinal sciences, the Editorial Board of the European Spine Journal has decided to establish a Chinese section within the journal. It goes with the intention and recommendation of the Chinese Academy of Science to encourage particularly young Chinese scientists to publish in international scientific journals to expose themselves to international standards and to benchmark their work. It is so more important to establish the knowledge flow from China to the western established science world than the other way round. Those Chinese colleagues who are familiar with the English language have already since long read the English literature and promoted this knowledge in their country.
