One year of Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences
Dear readers, respected authors and reviewers,
Today, August 1, 2023 marks exactly one year since I was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. The publisher of the journal is Alma Mater Europaea - ECM from Maribor, Slovenia, and immediately after its establishment, the Macedonian Scientific Society for Autism joined. I must admit that this was a great validation of my previous more than 20 years of efforts as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation and Journal for ReAttach Therapy and Developmental Diversities in which I selflessly invested my labor and knowledge in academic publishing. For this first birthday, we prepared a pamphlet for which I thank the editor's assistant Andrea Ivanovska for the technical preparation of it. Web administrator Blagoja Janevski, with whom we work day and night to improve the functionality of the website, update new information, etc., certainly deserves thanks. In the end, the highlighters, Prof. Dr. Ludvik Toplak and Assoc. prof. Sebastjan Kristovič who immediately accepted my idea for this new journal and selflessly invest financial resources from AMEU in the development of this new electronic journal. From the other technical and administrative staff of AMEU I am thankful to Tomaž Klojčnik, Uroš Kugl and Špela Pokeržnik.
The journal by the numbers for one year:
- 15 papers already published,
- 25300 visits to the website,
- Indexed in 20 databases,
- 24 authors,
- 40 reviewers,
- 32 members of the editorial board from 21 countries,
- Papers from USA, Australia, Ireland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Macedonia.
We continue with much passion, love and dedication to build this international magazine. The idea is to be read, quoted, indexed as much as possible and to attract attractive authors from all over the world. If you are interested in seeing our year-long growth, please visit the website at the link above and the magazine's blog. We are inviting you to submit your paper HERE.
May we have a happy first birthday on the eve of the great Macedonian national holiday ILINDEN!
