Increasing impact across the Silk Road: conferences and papers

Welcome to the Journal of Wound Care (JWC) Silk Road Supplement. Since last year, there is some great news. JWC has reached 1.948 in terms of the Clarivate Journal Impact Factor (formerly Thompson Reuters Impact factor) which shows that more high-quality research is being published in the journal on a regular basis. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rachel and the editorial team of JWC for their great devotion and exemplary work in increasing the standards of this fabulous journal. We must strive to instil this culture of doing high-quality research to showcase our work and publish in high impact journals. I must also thank the editorial board of this supplement for all their help and support.

Secondly, this October there will be a printed edition of the JWC Silk Road Supplement which will be launched during the 16th Asia Pacific Conference on Diabetic Limb Problems and the 2nd Global Wound Conference 2019 held in Berjaya Times Square on 18–20 October in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
