Greetings to all the members of the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, as our Journal completes 25 years of publication. This Silver Jubilee year is an occasion of great pride and honour for all of us. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The inaugural issue of the journal was published in 1982. Since then, the journal has overcome its initial teething troubles. The untiring efforts of all the members of the society are bearing fruits today. It is only due to their hard work and determination that the journal has seen the light of its 25 th year of publication. The senior members have toiled very hard and their futuristic visions have left an indelible impact on our minds. These members have created a legacy and paved a way for the young members to tread on and continue the good work.
Twelve years back when I took over as the editor of the journal, there was a paucity of funds and resources for the activities of the journal and only one issue was published annually. Today, four issues are being published regularly on schedule and recently a few supplement issues have also been printed. The distribution of the journal has been widespread across the nation and overseas as well. The journal is available in many countries including the USA, Europe, Middle East, Brazil, China, Japan. This can be attributed to the consistent quality of the journal due to the excellent research and case reports being sent by the contributors.
Apart from its wide distribution, the journal is also available online at www.jisppd.com. It is the first indexed journal from India and it is indexed with Index Medicus/MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica/EMBASE, SCOPUS, IndMed, MedInd, DOAJ, Health and Wellness Research Center, Health Reference Center Academic, InfoTrac One File, Expanded Academic ASAP, ProQuest Databases, Genamics JournalSeek, and Ulrich's International Periodical Directory.
On this momentous occasion, I would like to quote Sir Isaac Newton who said, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." The efforts put in by the stalwarts of the society, the past editorial members of the journal and each and every member of the society is really commendable. It is said that a man is known by the company he keeps, a scientist by the merit of his work and a society by the journal it publishes. I am sure that our journal will continue its magnificent journey and reach the pinnacle of glory.
