An increasing number of paper submissions come from all parts of the world. Maintaining and improving such a leading position is a challenging task, considering the present difficulties and levels of competition encountered in scientific publishing. I am confident that under Robert Gunzburg, the new Editor-in-Chief, and the Editorial Board, the European Spine Journal will continue to maintain its leadership. …
