Vol. 2 No. 3 (1997)

Second year of our bulletin has been accomplished, though it is slightly delayed. I want to thank all my colleagues who have worked for publishing and distribution of the bulletin who have really worked hard rather than you could easily imagine. Prof.Dr. Oğuz Polat, who had worked as an assistant editor for 2 years, has wished to resign. I am grateful for his contribution. All colleagues once had the consensus of opinion that the Society of Forensic Medicine Specialists should publish a scientific journal. Nevertheless, the survival of a journal depends on the quality and quantity of articles, and reproductive work of both the advisory board members and the authors rather than technical work of publishing. I hope the number of colleagues who exert big effort will increase. Few number of articles, delayed answers of both the advisory board members and the authors all are the reasons for delayed publishing process. Your support will have the contributory effect on the improvement of professional identity and advancement of our junior colleagues, of which can never be denied. The advancement of this field will be put off for a long time if we do not maintain appropriate support. Our bulletin applies the rules of peer-viewed journals and this will lead to success. We look for your sustenance. Editor
