Our goal is to maintain a speedy process without sacrificing our overarching commitment to rigorous and thoughtful review.

The editorial board has also sought to encourage physician-scientist training through the JCI Insight Scholars program. We accepted four exceptionally talented University of Michigan Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) fellows who shadow board members during a three-month supervised rotation on the JCI Insight board. Their participation helps align the editorial mission of the board with the academic training mission of the faculty board members. It also provides a unique experience for our MSTP fellows. The interest of our board members in physician-scientist training is further reflected by the publication of perspectives on this process, which are among our most highly read articles (4) .

We are delighted that the ASCI Council has committed to making JCI Insight compliant with Plan S, an initiative from a coalition of funding agencies seeking to ensure research they support is freely available under open access licensing. All articles published in JCI Insight have always been freely available online, and now all of the papers in this issue and going forward will be published under a CC-BY license. This move makes JCI Insight content fully open access and will make it easier for authors to be compliant with requirements of their funding agencies.

I am exceedingly proud of our new board. Their commitment to rigor, integrity, and careful review are all essential to maintain the high standards of ASCI. I am excited to move into the second year of our tenure working with an exceptional group of people committed to providing a supportive forum for authors to share their work.
