Although the whole world has been suffering under the Coronavirus Disease 2019 epidemic,the World Journal of Clinical Oncology(WJCO)was able to productively direct our efforts in the field through 2020.This was only accomplished through the collective efforts and support of our Editorial Board members,peer reviewers,authors,readers and editorial office staff.In 2020,the WJCO published 12 issues encompassing 84 papers,a 115.4%increase over 2019(39 papers).In December of 2020,we strategized a plan to solicit even more high-quality contributions for WJCO in 2021.So far,we have registered and accepted 188 manuscript titles,including 132 reviews and 56 original articles.In the New Year,we will work with our internal and external colleagues who care about and support the development of WJCO with the express aim of improving the academic rank of WJCO in the field of oncology.Ultimately,our goal is to merit and gain inclusion in the Science Citation Index Expanded,with the first impact factor being awarded as soon as possible.
