Dear Readers

During 2009, through early 2010, the world experienced a pandemic influenza that spread quickly due to convenient worldwide transportation. From this disastrous event, we could learn how information sharing and international collaboration are essential.

Accordingly, we, the Osong Health Technology Administration Complex, are launching a new public health journal, the Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives (PHRP). We identify all the health-related authorities and pharmaceutical industries at the heart of inland Korea. Our job is to establish the OHTAC as one of the leading complexes in the world, and we certainly believe publishing the PHRP is a part of our job. The PHRP features high-quality studies relating to the following areas: epidemiologic research, national survey, policy decision, public health educational training, and so forth. We look forward to make the PHRP a prominent name in the minds of all professionals in public health and biomedical fields.

PHRP will be published biannually from now on, and we will always try our best to publish articles with the brightest insights and novel information. Also, the journal will include articles of world-renowned scholars to draw the researcher’s attention.

It is a pleasure and an honor to serve a terrific, hard-working, patient, editorial committee. It might be one small step for public health, but it would be one giant leap for human health. I hope you enjoy reading the PHRP.
