We stand at a critical moment as we embark on a transformative journey, opening a new chapter of our journal under its new title, 'Clinical Movement Science in Humans.' It is with great pleasure and a profound sense of responsibility that we embrace the legacy of the Journal of Korean Society for Neurotherapy, expanding our horizons to not only continue with clinical neurorehabilitation but also to encompass a wider array of human movement disorders.

This journey is not just ours but belongs to every researcher, clinical practitioner, educator, and student around the world. Your expertise and insights are crucial as we push the boundaries of our understanding of human movement, its scientific foundations, and clinical implications. Together, we can transition from a Korea Citation Index Journal to a prestigious journal, serving as an international platform for disseminating a broad spectrum of movement disorders.

In an era of rapidly evolving technology, our Editorial Board is dedicated to enhancing our publication processes. We aim to significantly reduce the time to publication for researchers, ensuring that our platform is used responsibly and effectively. We are committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, efficient, and constructive peer-review process, promoting the Journal within the research community, and highlighting our range of services.

Your contributions and insights have been invaluable to the growth and success of our publication. As we move forward, we eagerly anticipate the continued sharing of knowledge and collaboration that drives progress in our field. Let us embark on this journey together, exploring new horizons and learning from one another in the quest to advance clinical movement science in humans.

With warmest regards,

Upon embarking of the Journal of Mycology and Infection

In the past, I had come cross a rather eccentric genre of animation where the lives of the deceased were turned into books and were kept in a library. As each on every one of their stories can perpetuate into different books, the level of variety and depth in the academic field is beyond numerous stories. A journal is a tool that brings all these stories aligned with scholastic value. I believe, the Journal of Mycology and Infection (JMI), with its own distinctive history, is a journal that has continuously developed and indulged many stories from its very first path.

The JMI, however, now stands to embark on becoming an internationally acknowledged journal distinguished by many authorities that share stories out into world. I stand on the verge of this moment and reminisce about the very first moment of its creation. Back in 1993, although fungal diseases were prevalent, the thirst of academic gathering has motivated many of passionate physicians and professors from dermatology, internal medicine, diagnostic medicine, microbiology and veterinary medicine to establish the Korean Society for Medical Mycology (KSMM). The Korean Journal of Medical Mycology (KJMM) was finalized in 1996 and starting with its first article 'Dermatophytosis and its causative agents in Korea' by professor Sun Bong Seo, the journal has well served its purpose in enhancing and archiving the academic merits of mycology, not only limited to Korea, but also including the USA, Europe, Japan, China and other Asian countries.

However, the dual language system of Korean and English had hindered a more privileged interaction among different countries. Moreover, in response to the earning for scarce academic mycology journals in Asia, the KJMM has been transformed as the Journal of Mycology & Infection, accepting only English submission, to provide opportunities for greater interactions in the field of mycology on a global scale. The journal additionally accepts exceptional articles in infectious diseases to supplement broader sophistication in the respective fields.

There were many obstacles to overcome before launching this newly reformed journal due to the various changes dealt in the publication industry. However, the engagement was doable with the unlimited support from the KSMM and the devoted efforts from the executive committee members. Especially I thank the editors and the peers for their invaluable contributions to make this happen and to Dr. Osung Kwon who has worked side by side in every effort. Lastly I would like to convey my sincerest gratitude to my wife Hyunyoung, my daughters Sangeun, Kyoungeun and to God for being there for me in every step of the way.

Dear members of clinical movement science in human!!

Welcome to the society!!

Clinical Movement Science in Human (CMSH) is contributing to the academic development of evidence-based therapy, practice and neurophysiological approach based on the Bobath concept.

And we are trying to study the characteristics of human movements and help clinical conditions and neurotherapy.

Our society would like to present various academic studies on advanced neurorehabilitation education, evidence-based therapy, practice education together with the Korean Bobath Association.
We will do our best to contribute to the development of rehabilitation health care by promoting rational society operation and future-oriented society projects.

In addition, all executive members will do their best so that all members of the society can have pride in the society.

Thank you

This is a historic moment - 'Journal of Medical Mycology and Infection' is going to publish the very first issue

I am very glad as the chairman of Korean Society for Medical Mycology and I thank executive directors, including the chief editor Jong Soo Choi, the managing director Yang Won Lee, and the publication director Joonsoo Park. Since our inception in 1994, we have grown consistently for more than 20 years and have been at the forefront of treatment and research in medical mycology. Meanwhile, we have not only tried to help our members continue their academic works and promote friendship, but also started publication of our own academic journal in December 1996 to impart exact knowledge about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of fungal diseases.

While published four times a year, it had performed a great role as the only one journal of medical mycology in Korea. To ensure its internal stability and take a step forward to a better journal, we changed its official name from Korean to English, 'Korean Journal of Medical Mycology'. Thanks to our efforts, it has been registered to Scopus and sent to many societies of medical mycology around the world since 2016.

From March 2018, we would change its name to 'Journal of Medical Mycology and Infection' as a part of the efforts to make it an internationally leading journal in medical mycology. We will keep trying hard to do better in this field and look forward to your continuous interest. Thank you.

A Message from the Editor

With great pleasure I saw the thoroughly renovated Korean Journal of Medical Mycology and its renaming as Journal of Mycology and Infection.

The journal website makes a very professional impression. I am sure that the newly structured journal will become very significant, potentially attaining a strong position in the international literature. It will fill a gap in Asian mycology, where options for publication of mycological research are still somewhat limited, and the current structure also enables the journal to compete at a global level. To own such a journal is also profitable for Korean medical mycology, which certainly will be stimulated by this flagship for clinical and fundamental research.

We will announce the journal in ISHAM News, and draw your attention to the possibility to present the journal at the next ISHAM Congress in Amsterdam.

I wish you much success!
