Abstract
Since 2000 it has been my privilege to lead the editorial team of the journal “Mund Kiefer und Gesichtschirurgie” It was not only the official journal of the German Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery but also the choice of the Austrian the Hungarian and the Swiss Society Although German was the official language of the journal it was widely known across other countries in Europe and was always listed in PubMed However it became more and more obvious that contributions in nonEnglish journals are often missed by the global audienceTherefore as “Mund Kiefer und Gesichtschirurgie” turned out to be a great success we now have decided to take things one step further “Mund Kiefer und Gesichtschirurgie” is now replaced by the English language journal “Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery” The new intention is to make the journal global in relevance Our specialty is developing a clinical science that has gained universal recognition in the recent years
