• Progress in the field of diabetes comes from many sources, including novel ideas, research breakthroughs, expanding therapeutic options, technological advances, charismatic personalities, and enhanced communication between the scientific and clinical communities. It is in the latter realm that the American Diabetes Association's (ADA's) journal Diabetes Care has played an increasingly important role since its founding in 1978. Through the years, the journal has grown to become both a locus for and stimulus of all the other sources of progress in diabetes clinical research and care. From its inaugural year, during which there were concerns about how to fill six issues and an acceptance rate just under 50% (1), to its present 41st volume year, with monthly issues ~3,000 submissions annually, and an acceptance rate for original articles of under 10%, Diabetes Care has emerged as the premier journal in its field.
