Editorial

The New Year has already begun and with it all the hopes
and expectations that a new year always brings. May I
begin by wishing all members a wonderful and prosper-
ous 2009.
The Australian Endodontic Journal has begun the year on
an exceptional high. We have been notified that our
Journal has been listed in the ISI Web of Knowledge
(Thomson Reuters). This means that we are now included
in the most prestigious scientific journal data base in the
world. Until very recently, almost no southern hemisphere
journals were included on this data base and it is indeed a
great honour for our Journal to be listed. Inclusion in ISI
will significantly improve AEJ’s visibility, especially to the
international endodontic community. A strong web pres-
ence is mandatory for serious scientific publishers and this
inclusion strengthens our current excellent web exposure
courtesy of our publisher, Wiley-Blackwell.
This acknowledgement is the face of the hard work that
goes on behind the scenes prior to the publication of each
Issue. Here I refer to the often forgotten hours of work that
goes into the reviewing of manuscripts that are submitted
to the Journal. To give some idea of the workload, last year
over 120 manuscripts were submitted to the AEJ. Most are
refereed by at least two reviewers, mainly members of the
Australian and New Zealand Academy of Endodontists.
I would like to publicly acknowledge this work performed
unselfishly by these colleagues and below is a list of those
who have reviewed manuscripts throughout 2008. I thank
them for their professionalism and support.
