Editorial:Summary of the content of the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology

Many elusive snapshots appear over the years when you read research articles as being eloborative, meticulous, nationalist and dissenting, and a negative prejudiced reader. For instance, higher ratio of author s name, instead of only number of them, in the literature order, is written while writing the numbers of references of cited articles in the original research article from Turkey as compared to the articles from other countries. When I first noticed this, I retrospectively reviewed this issue in PubMed. The number of authors included was so much low that 2 or perhaps 3 authors at the maximum were mentioned only. I do not know the reason, say that our people are more considerate, fair, and appreciative, or they asked for those authors’ blessing I guess.
