3 Kyung-Hoon Kim : How can The Korean Journal of Pain become and remain covered in the SCI(E) journal? How can The Korean Journal of Pain become and remain covered in the SCI(E) journal? 1. Current status of the Korean Journal of pain (KJP) The Korean Journal of Pain (KJP) was published in Korean for 20 years starting in 1988, and in English since The KJP, in 2017, ranked 43 rd among the 124 journals in the field of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, in Medicine, in the Scimago Journal Rankings (SJR), in the category of Quartile (Q)2. Its impact factor is 1.86 and its H index is 16. 1) The latest impact factor (IF) or cite score of the KJP in 2017 was (2 years), (3 years), and (4 years). The impact factor (IF) of a journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. 2) The Scimago Journal Rankings (SJR) indicator is influenced by the rank of the citing journal (greater than 1). It is a measure of the scientific influence of scholarly journals. It accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from [1]. 3) Based on the SJR, the journal impact factor quartile (Q) is the quotient of a journal s rank in its category (X) and the total number of journals in the category (Y), so that (X/Y) = percentile rank Z [2]. The KJP had ranked in Q3 from 2012 to 2013, and remained in Q2 from 2014 to Now, 31 journals are ranked in the category of Q1, the journals ranking 31st to 62nd are in the group Q2, those ranking 63rd to 93rd are positioned in Q3, and the journals ranking 94th to 124th are in the category of Q4. Kyung-Hoon Kim Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, School of Medicine, Pusan National University, Yangsan, Korea 4) The H (Jorge E Hirsch)-index is an author-level metric that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation impact of the publications of a scholar. The index is based on the set of the scientist s most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications. The index can also be applied to the productivity and impact of a scholarly journal as well as a group of scientists, such as a department, university, or country. 2. What does the KJP publish? The Korean Journal of Pain (KJP) publishes several categories of manuscripts: editorials, systemic reviews and meta-analyses, original research, case reports, and letters to the editor. 1) Review articles and Meta-analyses Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials are recommended to follow the Preferred Reporting items for Systemic 97

4 Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) (Table 1) [3]. Meta-analyses of observational studies follow the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) reporting guidelines (Table 2) [4]. Narrative reviews should include cutting-edge and evolving developments and health policy. Clinical guidelines should be summaries of official or consensus positions on issues related to clinical practice, health care delivery, or public policy. 2) Original articles Original research includes randomized controlled trials, observational studies, diagnostic studies, and reports of adverse drug effects. (1) It is recommended that randomized trials follow the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statement (Table 3) [5]. The flow diagram of a parallel randomized trial consists of enrollment, allocation, follow-up, and analysis. (2) Non-randomized trials or observational human studies follow the instructions of the Strengthening of the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) or the Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs (TREND) (Table 4 and 5) [6,7]. For animal studies, the recommendation is to follow the instructions of Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) (Table 6) [8]. (3) It is recommended that diagnostic test studies follow the Diagnostic accuracy studies of the Accuracy of Diagnostic Tests (STARD) (Table 7) [9]. (4) Cost effectiveness or cost utility studies should include comparisons of the relative costs and benefits of interventions. 3. How can the KJP become and remain covered by the Science Citation Index (expanded) SCI(E)? The IF of the Web of Science by Clarivate Analytics is determined by authors who write frequently. The English language in the article should be perfect, if the prolific authors can read, give consent to, and cite our articles. The country rankings in 2017 are the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, Italy, India, Spain, Australia, the Russian Federation, and Korea (13th) [10]. Even though the KJP is published in Korea, it is mostly read by native English speakers. Therefore, it should be perfect grammatically not in order to be read by English native speakers. To increase the SJR indicator, more influential scientific journals must cite the KJP. To increase the H index, prominent scholars at leading institutes, universities, and countries must cite the KJP. The KJP is no longer truly the journal of The Korean Pain Society. Over 90% of authors are foreigners. Only the review articles can express the direction that the KJP wants to go. The KJP will have a new homepage which is accessible from both personal computers and mobile phones. After becoming covered by the SCI(E), the thorough regulations for authors listed above should be added to our requirements. References Moher D, Liberati A, Tetzlaff J, Altman DG; PRISMA Group.

The paper introduces the related journal of pain medicine and its influence. 105

12 Development of pain medicine in China Xiaoli Liu The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, P.R, China 1. Development of pain medicine in China has two origin: Professor Zhang Lisheng ( 张立生 ), clinical medicine-anesthesiology, Professor Han Jisheng ( 韩济生 ), basic medicine-physiology. Professor Zhang Lisheng set up the earlier pain clinic in China in 1986, host and convened the first national conference of pain medicine in 1988, founded the first professional Journal pain clinic journal in Academician Han Jisheng established CASP - Chinese association of the study of pain in 1989, and CASP officially named to Chinese society of pain medicine in 1992, fund the Chinese journal of pain medicine in 1995, endeavor that Ministry of health issued document No 227 and determine to set up the department of pain medicine in The first pain clinic was set up by doctor Ding Chanhan ( 丁昌汉 ), Wu Han workers hospital in 1986, the second and third are Zhang Lisheng or Yan Xiangmo ( 严相默 ), Yanbian medical college. Before 2007, most pain clinic is dependent to the department of anesthesiology; after 2007, pain medicine is independent department. Professional examination for the pain medicine begins 2008, National key clinical department of pain medicine was established in 6 hospital in 2014, and Society of Pain Clinicians of Chinese Medical Doctor Association was established in There are three A hospital and two A hospital in China. Most three A hospital established pain medicine and more the half of two A hospital set up pain clinic. More than half pain doctors are anesthesiology based, and more than 6000 pain physicians have taken the pain professional examination from 2008 to Now pain physicians are estimated around At present, the techniques used in pain medicine are mainly four kinds: Neural intervention technique, Neuromodulation, Spinal intervention technique and Endoscopic technique. A proposal was made this year that add pain medicine as independent first class discipline in the national standard classification of disciplines, and add a curriculum of pain medicine in Clinical Medicine Science Education. The following things have to do urgently: Resident standardization training and pain specialist training, Promoting construction of pain medicine, Broadening scope of management of pain disorders (ICD11), Editing and publishing academic books and Journals. 106

13 Eric D. Anderson : Common Mistakes in Medical English Common Mistakes in Medical English Eric D. Anderson Ethne Education The vast majority of today s medical research is written and published in the English language. This presents a challenge to the increasing number of researchers whose first language is not English. Eric D. Anderson has worked correcting the English in medical research since 2013, and has been the English editor for the Korean Journal of Pain for the past three years. In this presentation, Mr. Anderson shares the English problems he most frequently encounters while editing the research writing of authors who are not native English speakers, including the incorrect usage of articles, plurals, tense, pronouns, and punctuation. He also suggests strategies for avoiding or correcting these errors. 107
