As we celebrate 18 months since the launch of the Swiss Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine (www.SJORANM.com), it is both a privilege and an inspiration to reflect on the journey that has brought us to this significant milestone. Since its establishment in June 2023, the journal has rapidly grown into a dynamic platform that bridges disciplines, fosters innovation, and contributes to the global dialogue in radiology and nuclear medicine.
Our presence extends beyond traditional boundaries, leveraging the reach of social media platforms such as YouTube, LinkedIn, X, TruthSocial, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others. The rapidly growing number of followers on these channels underscores their potential as transformative tools for scientific communication. Unlike conventional publishing formats, these platforms enable the dissemination of scientific content not only through text but also via audio and video, offering unprecedented opportunities to engage and educate diverse audiences.
This evolution mirrors other technological disruptions. Just as email rendered fax and postal mail obsolete within months of its inception, scientific publishing is poised for a similar transformation. The advent of low-cost, high-impact tools for creating and sharing content challenges the traditional publishing models, compelling established publishers to adapt or risk obsolescence.
As we continue this journey, we remain committed to embracing innovation and fostering a collaborative, forward-thinking approach that ensures the Swiss Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine remains at the forefront of scientific communication.
