Excerpt

Members of the Editorial Committee of the Journal of Artificial Organs (JAO) are pleased to introduce to colleagues worldwide through the publication of JAO a broad spectrum of important new achievements in the field of artificial organs, ranging from fundamental research to practical development and clinical applications. The JAO, an international journal with articles published in English, is the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs (JSAO). We believe that JAO has a very high potential for promoting interest in the field of artificial organs not only in Japan but also in other parts of the world. We are also convinced that the specialization, originality, and level of science of this journal are at the highest in the field. The impact factor announced in the Journal Citation Reports for 2011 was 1.593, demonstrating a slight increase from 1.488 in the previous year. We are very proud of this impact factor, which will certainly enhance international interest in the journal. Actually, the number of papers submitted to JAO has been drastically increasing during the last several years after obtaining the impact factor. …
