Excerpt

Annals of Nuclear Medicine (ANM), an official journal of the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine (JSNM), was launched in September, 1987 by the then board of directors with Professor Kinichi Hisada as the president. These predecessors endeavored to make ANM an international journal by eliminating all Japanese language from it. Now, ANM is recognized worldwide as an international platform for presenting top research results, highlighted by the fact that approximately 70% of submissions currently come from countries other than Japan. An impact factor of 0.503 was first assigned for ANM in 2001, and has steadily increased to 1.648 for the most recent one. I joined the editorial board in November 2006, was promoted to editor-in-chief in November 2009, and have held this position for the subsequent 10 years. …
