Editorial

Abstract

Dear Colleagues, it is a great pleasure for me as Editor-in-Chief of Annali di Stomatologia, to inform you that the journal has been indexed in Scopus from January 1st, 2025. This is a great achievement that testifies the hard work of all the Editorial Board and all the Reviewers have done in the last year. It also shows the high-level contribution from all the authors who submitted excellent scientific articles, with high quality and originality. These combined efforts allowed such a prestigious goal to be reached in a relatively short time. Many thanks to all of them and to all the staff that worked in the editorial process, allowing the journal to be published on time and providing maintenance of the website. I hope that this positive trend will continue over time and that the journal in 2025 will attract more and more readers and also authors. Annali di Stomatologia is nowadays an open access journal, that can be read all over the world, but it has also an old tradition of providing knowledge and education, being a scientific journal founded more than 50 years ago in Rome. I wish that many university and clinicians worldwide will find this journal an interesting opportunity and tool to show their research and clinical work, because traditions are important, but future is maybe more important. Therefore, I wish a greater involvement of the international dental community in the journal to make it grow globally, both in quality and ranking. I also want to thank the Italian Academy of Endodontics (AIE) for having selected this journal as their official journal. I think this is an example of a nice and profitable cooperation between the scientific journal and dental associations. Furthermore, I hope these kinds of cooperation will be improving in future with other societies and research groups, because the journal deals with all the fields of dentistry.
