Description
In Ja Park bids farewell as Editor-in-Chief of the Annals of Coloproctology in a 2026 editorial. Park recalls taking the role with two aims: widening the journal's scope and raising its standing abroad. Reviewing manuscripts with co-editors and reviewers stands out as the most meaningful part of the term.
Under that watch, the journal grew past its regional base, building an online platform for colorectal surgeons and drawing most submissions from abroad, spanning Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. Ties with international societies grew as well, starting with an Asia-Pacific federation and extending to an Italian society, bringing guideline work. Park thanks board members, reviewers, and authors worldwide.
