The Long and Winding Road - A New Editor’s Perspective
William M Palin

I am thrilled to be the new Editor of the European Journal of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry. Although materials science is my main expertise, a primary reason for taking on this challenge is because I feel there is a great need in the dental field for an applied and translational journal that helps to connect the importance of robust materials science to the enquiring dentist. The technology that exists within the materials and prosthodontics area of dentistry are vast and advancing at a substantial rate and I hope that quality researchers in the field will soon see this Journal as one of their first choices for submission. Of course, the road is long. The first immediate aim will be to apply to Thomson-Reuters for assessment to acquire an Impact Factor (IF) and the process has already been initiated.
