I would like to, hereby, sincerely thank the founding Editor, Professor Mohsen Abolhassani, for all his sincere efforts during these years. I am confident that he will be remembered for his excellent editorship. Also I would like to thank the editorial board members as well as the reviewers who were sincerely involved in the past editorial process.

It is clear that the demands from both readers and authors are rapidly changing and scientific communities are aiming for higher standards. My primary goal as editor-in-chief is to improve the quality of IBJ publications in terms of scientific content. Consequently, we will primarily focus on new advances in the field. The new editorial team and I hope to provide a productive, well-justified and timely review process. 

We look forward to your leading-edge scientific submission, which will promote IBJ in every aspect.
