J Global Clinical Engineering Vol.6 Issue 1, 2023 2 Editor’s Corner As the year comes to its end and this Journal publishes its volume number six, the opportunity presents itself for the Global Clinical Engineering Journal’s Editor-in-Chief to look back. Measure if, and how far, we progressed and reflect on the contributions that this Journal has made. We know that healthcare services are a local issue, and that technology on which these services are dependent is a global one. This was especially evident in the case of healthcare, as we dearly learned from the Pandemic era. Therefore, an international journal that focuses on the cross between patient care outcomes and the lifecycle of the technological tools, particularly those used at the point-of-care and the associated management of the technology is critically important. Healthcare technology is the result of an idea, an innovation or application of an improvement, that has been sufficiently funded to move on to the prototyping, manufacturing, clinical trials, regulatory compliance, and on to the commercialization and management of its deployment at the conventional point-of-care or at home. In short, the full spectrum of healthcare technology solu- tions regardless of the location of deployment and use. Our Journal is still the only international periodical dedicated to sharing and expanding clinical engineering applied knowledge, that is accessible on-line, Diamond open access (CC BY 4.0) and free to both authors and readers. It is conducting a double-blind review of sub- missions received, check for plagiarism, managed by an international Editorial Board of experts having clinical engineering, academia, research, regulatory, industry, medicine, surgical disciplines, and World Health Or- ganization expertise. Our Journal is also unique as it is published in both English and Chinese languages and is advertisement-free. The double-blind review is fed by a growing reviewers’ community (270) with wide range of experiences representing almost 60 countries and are committed to voluntarily serving the field and advancing the Journal’s mission. Thus, ensuring that the Journal’s platform promotes up-to-date quality engineering infor- mation on the relationship between technological tools, its development and management, and patient experiences. I encourage you to find more information about the Journal by visiting the website www.GlobalCE.org and at the Global Clinical Engineering Alliance website un- der the 2023 State of the Alliance State of the Alliance report. When you visit the website, you will find rich and interesting content that includes: Editor’s Corner, Engineering Report, Book Review, and manuscripts rang- ing in subjects from Molecular Sieve Oxygen Generation and Procurement of Medical Devices in International Context to Clinical Engineering Status in Post COVID-19 and Analysis of Dental Unit Failure as well as COVID019 Experience of Nigerian Radiotherapy Engineer. In addition to the six volumes and issues that archives engineer- ing and scientific manuscripts from over 150 authors, the Journal is also unique in its ability to organize and publish the Proceedings of the last three International Clinical Engineering & Health Technology Management (ICEHTMC) Congresses, a major accomplishment where the 5th ICEHTMC Congress proceeding just published this month https://doi.org/10.31354/globalce.v5iSI5. This year, the Journal achieved another milestone, that of the recognition received by being indexed by Scopus. The Comprehensive, multidisciplinary, trusted abstract and citation database Using Scopus metrics, where a journal can demonstrate the influence of its scholarly output. There are times, like the yearend, that the Editor-in-Chief must ring the alarm to create a needed inflection in Clin- ical Engineering practitioners’ behavior. Practitioners use variety of excuses, from “I am too busy” to “No one taught me how to write a paper” and on to “No hablo Ingles” to avoid the slight stress of added work associated with authoring a manuscript. This is the golden era to be in the Clinical Engineering field, however, without pub- lishing your work you may fall short of developing your career and allowing the discipline to stay static or even Year End Report http://www.globalce.org http://www.globalce.org http://www.GlobalCE.org https://8702981.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8702981/State%20of%20the%20Alliance_final.pdf https://8702981.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8702981/State%20of%20the%20Alliance_final.pdf https://doi.org/10.31354/globalce.v5iSI5 3 J Global Clinical Engineering Vol.6 Issue 1, 2023 shrink. We all must advocate and share evidence for our field criticality in building access to safe and quality care experiences. You can trigger this inflection by submitting your manuscript now and encouraging your colleagues to follow the very same. Our field is going through exciting evolution and our year-end report is full of achievements and growing readership. We encourage you to contact any member of the Editorial Board or myself for specific information relating to publishing your research or best practices. Here are some general steps you can take: 1. Visit the Journal’s Website: Where you can find information about the editorial board, submission guidelines, how to write a scientific paper, and archived issues of the Journal. 2. Contact the Editorial Office: Look for contact infor- mation for the journal’s manager on the website. You can send an email or make a phone call to inquire about the any other information you may be seeking. 3. Write a Paper: Start now drafting an idea and read- ing how to craft a full manuscript at - https://www. globalce.org/index.php/GlobalCE/article/view/102 4. Professional Associations: The journal is associated with a professional organization, Global Clinical Engi- neering Alliance, you might find relevant information through that organization’s website or publications. Remember that the Journal is only a platform to help build the C.E. discipline, its networking, sharing of qual- ity information, and your professional future. You, as participating authors and readers, will hopefully enjoy reading in next year-end Editor’s Corner of the many more achievements we will report together. Copyright © 2023.
