We are fortunate that so many scientist and clinician authors consider JCEM as the home for their manuscripts. As a consequence, it has become increasingly difficult to determine who will be published in our limited pages. As submissions increase, we have been forced to become selective to the point of excluding good papers.

Taking advantage of the digital domain to provide online content will allow us to respond more quickly to scientific advances as they occur. The online venue broadens our scope and enables us to better meet the needs of our readers by providing them with information and a choice of options for using it. Toward this end, our plans for the JCEM in the future include the application of new and innovative uses of technological advances in information delivery and scholarly communication. As these and other new features of the Journal unfold, I would welcome and appreciate your feedback.
