Twenty-one (30.0%) of the published articles were related to COVID-19. Eleven articles were original research papers (1-11), 3 articles were letters (12) (13) (14) , 2 were case reports (15, 16) , and Five articles were review studies (17) (18) (19) (20) . The 49 remaining articles, which consisted of 30 original articles, 9 review articles, 6 case reports, and 4 letters were on different topics. The letters consisted of 2 reports of preliminary studies performed (21, 22 ) and 2 expert views on different matters (23, 24) . The letters are always reviewed by the editor and they are reviewed by external reviewers in case of presenting the findings of a study. Among the case reports, 1 was on possible complications arising after treatments (25) and 5 reported unusual presentations of diseases (26) (27) (28) (29) (30) . These reports were published to raise other physicians' awareness of those situations so that they can either prevent facing the same situation or be able to better manage the situation if they encounter it. Only one of the review articles was a narrative one (31) and the rest were systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are ranked as the highest level of evidence among articles and may be able to provide an answer to a burning question (32) (33) (34) (35) (36) (37) (38) . Therefore, it is not surprising to see that 7.14% of this year's review articles were related to COVID-19. In this journal, we aim to introduce novel electronic approaches helping the management of patients. Machine learning is one of the novel fields in medicine, which may transform the practice of medicine, in 2021 we published 2 articles in that field (39, 40) . Our aim in this journal is to play a part, even if it is a small one, in helping physicians do their practice of medicine, which can consequently improve the general health of all societies. This will not be possible without the hard work of researchers who perform the studies, so we would like to thank all the authors who trusted us with their valuable works throughout 2021. Our goal is to keep improving and continue to publish quality articles by authors from all over the world and everybody is invited to join us.
