TAU 2020 Annual Report

Greetings from the editorial team of TAU.

We here would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our editorial board members, guest editors, reviewers, authors and readers. We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2021! We look forward to working with you in the new year to continue the success of TAU.

Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer

Recently, remarkable developments have been seen in bladder cancer research and treatment. We have seen some amazing advances in genomics and molecular biology that apply precision medicine strategies for diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer using molecular classification.

Surgery for Urologic Cancers

This special series of reviews on the important surgical procedures for urological cancers, each aiming to describe the surgical principles and summarise the literature on outcomes and complications. For newer and developing procedures such as robotic partial nephrectomy and penile-sparing surgery, these reviews should enable additional uptake and dissemination. Conversely, for well-established procedures such as bladder tumour resection and pelvic lymphadenectomy, they will serve the purpose of reinforcing good surgical technique and appropriate patient selection. I hope the end result will be further improvement in the surgical management of urological cancers.

Pediatric Urologic Malignancies

In times of rapid change, it is sometimes useful to pause for a moment and reflect on what we have long known, what we have recently learned, and what we have yet to fully understand. To that end, this issue of Translational Andrology and Urology is devoted to the contemporary practice of pediatric urologic oncology.

New Impact Factor for Translational Andrology and Urology: 2.445

We are pleased to announce that Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU) has attained its latest impact factor update for the 2019 citation year: 2.445.

The impact factor, as published in the annual Journal Citation Reports (JCR), is a calculation determined based on the number of citations accumulated in 2019 for manuscripts published in 2017 and 2018.

Prostate Imaging and Focal Therapy

The heterogeneity of prostate cancer has presented a challenge to researchers in identifying a responsible cardinal genomic alteration. In the opening article Dr. Hayley Whitaker provides a summary of the state-of-art pertaining to tumour biology and genomics from diagnosis to metastatic disease.

Upper-Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: Current State and Future Directions

This focused edition on “Upper-Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: Current State and Future Directions” will explore a breadth of topics surround UTUC, to bring into focus up-to-date discussions. Highlighted topics include epidemiology, risk stratification and the challenges of diagnosis; outcomes of organ-sparing surgery, tips and tricks, and future directions; outcomes of radical surgery including complications, the role of lymph node dissection, the role of perioperative chemotherapy, management of the bladder cuff, and bladder recurrence following UTUC.

AME entered an official partnership with Publons to enhance wide-ranging recognition for reviewers

AME Publishing Company entered an official partnership with Publons, a product of Clarivate Analytic Company (which owns Web of Science, EndNote, ScholarOne, among many others), as of April 2020. Around 60 AME journals’ peer review systems are now integrated seamlessly into the Publons platform (https://publons.com/about/home). The partnership was done to recognize our expert peer reviewers spontaneously for their review contribution.
