<b><i>International Archives of Allergy and Immunology</i></b>: A Commitment to Serving the Community Worldwide

Board members, publisher, and all authors. I have appointed four Associate Editors, each with different research experience, but all known for their own important scientific contributions to the field. We also have a new Editorial It is a fine tradition that the newly appointed Editorin-Chief of a scientific journal communicates some key thoughts to the journal’s readers. The International Archives of Allergy and Immunology (IAAI) has provided an international forum for high-quality, innovative research in the fields of allergy and immunology since 1950. I am indeed delighted to take over the position, beginning January 1, 2018, of Barbara Bohle and Rudolf Valenta, who have served as Co-Editors-in-Chief of IAAI since 2003. Under their leadership, this journal has developed a global character and is known to publish high-quality articles, in terms of both science and its technical presentation. In this role, IAAI provides important services to scientists and clinicians in the fields of allergy and immunology worldwide. As the new Editor-in-Chief, I want this journal to develop into a leading voice in the allergy and immunology community. We will cover the entire spectrum of allergy and immunology. Specifically, we will publish both basic and clinical original reports, but also review articles which can help readers to always be up to date in the dynamic field of research. In addition, we will publish opinion articles to provide a forum for the discussion of novel ideas and potentially controversial findings. The quality, international awareness, and impact of a scientific journal are the product of the teamwork provided by the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Editorial Published online: January 10, 2018
