FROM EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Dear Readers

It is really not easy to publish a new medical journal and succeed. On the contrary there are thousands of similar journals on the publishing market and it is really difficult to find a niche or the group of audiences, who would be interested in a new title on the medical publishing market.
I would not like to look ahead but I think or even I am sure that Archives of Medical Science (AMS) will play an important role on the publishing market. There are some reasons which let me believe in that, starting with young and ambitious Editorial Staff, determined to achieve the success, through assumptions and detailed plans related to publishing cycle, finishing on the Publishing House, one of the fastest developing Polish publishing houses.
Our aim is to create the Journal, which opens the possibilities for many young, capable scientists. However most of them either due to lack of scientific experience, lack of help from older colleagues, lack of support from experienced, well-known scientists or due to lack of credibility have no chance to publish their manuscripts or study results, often high-quality ones, which outcomes could bring many interesting conclusions and suggestions to present achievements of medicine. We would like to give them a chance to have a publication in AMS after matter-of-fact, professional review by outstanding, famous medical scientists, whom we have honour to entertain in the Editorial Board. Thanks to that these young scientists will have an opportunity to present their study results and receive useful advice about the mistakes they have made so far.
The second equally important aim is a presentation of review manuscripts about the educational capacity in order that young scientists, often at the beginning of their scientific carrier, could constantly deepen their medical knowledge and be up-to-date with current guidelines and trends in world-wide medicine. The fact that our educational articles are written by world-famous scientists determines their innovation and the highest quality.
Truly there is hard work ahead for us, but I do hope that AMS will be one of the many stars on the publishing market, shining as brightly as possible.
