On behalf of the Board of the Journal of Thyroid Disorders and Therapy and my co-editors, I am glad to present the Volume 8, Issue 2 of the journal. The journal established in September 2012 has now published 25 issues. The journal with an ISSN: 2167-7948 is now being accepted by different academic forums. Average download per article is increasing and on an average there are 40 downloads per paper. All these are promising signs. We have reached this stage only through the constant support of our eminent Board Members and intellectual generosity of the wide range of readers and contributions from different authors and reviewers. One of the objectives of this journal is to encourage publication from different streams of research that helps to enrich further the discourse on Thyroid such as Goiter, Graves Disease, Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Hyperthyroidism, Hyperthyroidism Symptoms, Hypothyroidism, Hypothyroidism Symptoms, Iodine Deficiency, Iodine Supplements, Levothyroxine, Parathyroid Hormone, Thyroid Cancer, Thyroid Gland, Thyroid Nodules, Thyroid Symptoms, Thyroid Test, Thyroid Treatment, Thyroidectomy, Thyrotoxicosis, Thyroxine, TSH Levels.

The entire editorial process at “Journal of Thyroid Disorders & Therapy” is ergonomic and streamlined. The processing time for a manuscript is optimal and the authors can ripe the advantage of advance online publication, enhancing the author visibility and improved citations. The upcoming issue is going to make new additions in order to increase the visibility of the published articles thereby gaining maximum number of citations and downloads. From the year 2020, Manuscripts are subjected to more rigorous peer review with atleast 3 active and qualified reviewers, who are acclaimed scientists in the field and are also part of the editorial board. New members are involved in this process to add value to the research findings with their enormous talent. The impartial and transparent review process ensures the highest publication standards, quality of the articles accepted and published.

We are expanding our editorial board from the year 2020 for addressing the gaps and to ensure further enriching this journal. It has always been the policy of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Thyroid Disorders and Therapy to accept papers on the borderline between various thyroid disorders existing and arisinfg in the current world. Endocrine aspects have always been an important tool for investigation in these fields. We would like to take this opportunity to thank current editorial board members for their ongoing commitment to the standards to which the journal aspires. During the last few years these board members have handled the large majority of first-round submissions. As a result we have significantly expanded our pool of excellent reviewers, average turnaround times have decreased; most papers now have at least two reviews and their quality has been steadily improving. We have also increased our pool of Associate Editors focussing on novel thyroid researches, as we receive many submissions regarding various case reports. We will extend additional invitations and hope to be able to welcome more new and talented editorial board members soon.
