Comments from the Editor-in-Chief on a New Section in the Journal
Journal Title: Annals of Hepatology - Year 2007, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
It is a pleasure to announce a new section in Annals of Hepatology, «Liver News Elsewhere». It has the main purpose to give readers a section for the discussion, comments and feedback about new articles published elsewhere in the area of liver diseases. Since this field of knowledge is achieving every day more and more new and interesting information I think it is very important to exchange comments about specific issues between the «liver community». Annals of Hepatology will be soon six years since it was first published, I think day after day we have to improve this Journal that has shown to be a necessary tool for liver researchers not only in Latin America but also all over the world. Since the beginning we have been an inclusive publication, so all the comments and suggestions will be welcome: I hope many readers of this Journal will take seriously this invitation to participate in this new section, and together we will be able to build a better Annals of Hepatology.
