Transition: Message from the Editor-in-Chief

With this issue I will step down as Editor-In-Chief of Neuro-Oncology. My recent election as President of the Society for Neuro-Oncology precludes me from holding both positions at the same time. I will always be grateful for the tremendous privilege of serving as Editor-In-Chief for the past four years. With the support of the neuro-oncology community, the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO), the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), and the Japanese Society for Neuro-Oncology (JSNO) the journal has flourished. Neuro-Oncology has increasingly become a forum for important research in the field, with the impact factor rising to 7.786 and submissions on track to exceed 900 this year. This success would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of our Managing Editor, Elizabeth Martinson, the team at Oxford University Press led by Phil Bishop, and the support and invaluable guidance of our Executive Editors (Kenneth Aldape, Ryo Nishikawa, and Riccardo Soffietti), our Associate Editors (Terri Armstrong, Karla Ballman, E. Antonio Chiocca, Frank Furnari, Monika Hegi, Koichi Ichimura, Mark Kieran, Minesh Mehta, Whitney Pope, David Schiff, and Wolfgang Wick), and our Editorial Board. I will always be indebted to them.
