Dear Members of the Korean Audiological Society

First of all, it is a great pleasure and honor to greet all readers of Korean Journal of Audiology as a President of the Korean Audiological Society, and I would like to share the pleasure with all the members of the society on the establishment of the official web-site of Korean Journal of Audiology.
Our society was established in 1966 and grown up as an important group for studying audiology and otology in Korea. And the first official journal was published on September 1997 when the Prof. Soon Jae Whang was the president of the society. Past presidents and editors have put tremendous efforts to make this journal as one of the major domestic journals in audiology and otology fields.
Along with 9 domestic editorial board members, we have 3 international editorial board members, and 30 review board members to become and maintain a journal with the finest quality.
As a President, I will try to further broaden the vision and scope of our journal, and to exchange great experiences from both basic reseach and surgical fields of audiology and otology in different regions of the world.
I expect it will be recognized and registered in global citation systems including Pub-Med and SCI in the near future by maintaining high quality of the articles.
I cordially ask every reader of this journal to become an active participant by enjoying this journal and submitting fine research work along with sharing invaluable clinical experiences. On behalf of our society I promise to all the readers that we will put every effort to improve further the quality of our journal in future.
Lastly I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Kyung Ho Park, the Editor-in chief, and other domestic and international members of the editorial board for their contribution to the publication of this Journal.
I believe the establishment of the official web-site of Korean Journal of Audiology will be a milestone in the path of expanding the role and raising worldly reputation of the Korean Audiological Society

With Best Regards,

See Ok Shin, M.D., Ph.D
President
Korean Audiological Society
