As I complete my second year as Editor of JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our authors, reviewers, members of the editorial board, and staff for the many contributions to the journal and to share our accomplishments. This past year, we received 822 submissions and published 94 Original Investigations, 35 Reviews, 34 opinion articles, and 11 Research Letters. In 2017, the acceptance rate for major submissions was 19%. The publication of opinion articles provides context to the original investigations and a forum for active dialogue in our specialty. Some of the topics covered in 2017 included a comparison of alkaline water and Mediterranean diet vs proton pump inhibition for treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux, natural history and tumor volume kinetics of papillary thyroid cancers, cognitive training for adults with bothersome tinnitus, association of iron deficiency anemia with hearing loss in US adults, association of ibuprofen use with severity of surgically treated posttonsillectomy hemorrhage, a consensus review and recommendation of optimal perioperative care in major head and neck cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction, a review of control of pain after tonsillectomy in children, and a systematic review of reconstructive techniques for saddle nose deformity in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis. A highlight of the year was our successful work with the American Head & Neck Society (AHNS) and simultaneous publication of 5 articles from their 2017 meeting in San Diego. We accepted 17 AHNS-associated articles, and with Neal Futran's lead and outstanding support from the editorial and production staff in St Louis and Chicago, we were able to quickly move from review to publication. The quality of our published articles continues to rise and is reflected in several different metrics. The impact factor of 2.95 and the immediacy index, or the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published, of 0.56, continue to increase and lead all other general otolaryngology journals. Additional ways to measure the impact of the articles published in the journal include the article's Altmetric score, which tracks the mention of the article in the mainstream media, online references managers, blogs, and social media. The Altmetric score is made available to authors immediately on publication. Of the top 50 articles in otolaryngology by Altmetric score in 2017, 32 (64%) were published in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. The articles with the top 3 Altmetric scores for 2017 are shown in the Table. Last year, there were

“…Now, with the recent launch of JAMA Network Open, authors of manuscripts submitted to JAMA also have the option of selecting an open access journal for their work. 1 We also extend our sincere thanks to the 2707 peer reviewers who evaluated manuscripts for JAMA in 2017. Peer review remains a vitally important yet somewhat underappreciated academic responsibility, and we hope that publishing the names of all of these reviewers will provide some welldeserved recognition for their important contributions.…”

The creation and communication of scientific and clinical content continue to undergo substantial change, and biomedical journals and other publications are evolving to develop new mechanisms and channels for efficient information dissemination.For example, open access journals and options for open access publication have become common. 1 Many investigators are increasingly interested in speed to publication. 2 Preprint servers that disseminate non-peer-reviewed content have proliferated. 3 Team science, reflecting collaborative research involving multiple investigators and research groups, has become more prevalent with the growth of research networks and consortia and the continued emergence of big data and data sharing. 4 Data sharing is evolving, with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) soon requiring greater transparency regarding sharing of data, with the expectation that every report of a randomized clinical trial will include a statement of whether data will be shared, and if so, how and with whom. 5 More changes have come to the dissemination of scientific information in the last decade than in the previous 100 years.Yet despite this ongoing evolution, certain fundamental aspects inherent in the responsible dissemination of rigorous scientific information by major scientific journals have remained virtually unchanged. Journals depend on authors to provide content for publication, consisting of important, novel, and valid research conducted with the highest ethical standards and reported with accuracy and fidelity to the study design. Journals rely on peer reviewers from the scientific and clinical community to provide expert scientific and methodological consultations to aid in editorial decision making and to improve and enhance the content of scientific reports. Journals serve the information needs of their readership and other constituencies by delivering high-quality, reliable content in the most efficient and effective ways possible, and in formats that communicate the information clearly and transparently.In this issue of JAMA, we express our appreciation to these 3 important constituencies: authors, reviewers, and readers.We hereby thank all authors who have submitted manuscripts for consideration for publication in JAMA. We are grateful to have the opportunity to evaluate these manuscripts, including research reports, ranging from major multicenter clinical trials and large-scale observational investigations to highly innovative and promising preliminary investigations; comprehensive systematic reviews and rigorous metaanalyses; and insightful opinion articles, including scholarly Viewpoints and thoughtful Editorials. Our goal is to ensure that

How scientific information is generated and disseminated has evolved rapidly over the last few decades. The investment in scientific research, once dominated by North America and northern Europe, has expanded globally, propelled by countries in Asia, the growth of the European Union, and the emergence of vigorous scientific communities in countries in South America and Africa. The internet and other technologic advances enable international collaboration. Large foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust have shifted the focus from local to global. Consonant with changes in how and where research is conducted and funded, there is now a strong movement to ensure that benefits of these investments are readily available to scientists and the public around the world. Underpinning this effort is the near universal migration of publishing, academic and lay, from print to digital, facilitating rapid, global dissemination of information. Given that there are more than 28 000 peer-reviewed journals, 1 one might ask whether the world needs another. We
