Dear all:

Happy New Year and welcome to 2018!

As we welcome this New Year, we take this opportunity to thank you for your love and support. Without you, we can’t imagine our success.I would first like to thank our Scientific Advisory Board, the Editorial Board, the Managing Editor and all staff, and the reviewers for their valuable time and expertise in maintaining the high quality of journal.We would also like to thank the CDC authors for submitting their fine scientific work to the journal. I would also like to thank our readers for being so supportive and engaging. Together, we have made CDC a better journal. Thank you for placing your trust in us.

CDC remains healthy and strong, with many of the journal’s metrics reaching a historical high heading into the New Year. I would like to thank all of you for your continuous support and contributions through the past years. You have made a significant impact on CDC and brought it to a new level. CDC’s impact factor has steadily increased over the past years.

It’s important to review where we have been so that we can make intelligent decisions about where we want to go. CDC continues to attract high quality submissions from over 10 countries with over 200 submissions per year. The journal has been increasingly selective with an acceptance rate of 38.6% over the past 12 months.

May your new year be happy, healthy, and prosperous.

To your success,
