So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, but not goodbye

Abstract

This is my “so long, farewell, au Wiedersehen, but not goodbye” editorial letter to you, our authors and readers of the Malawi Medical Journal (MMJ). In July 2016, I assumed the role of the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the MMJ, Malawi’s only medical journal and, if you do not already know, one of the leading medical journals in sub-Saharan Africa. Just to put it into perspective for you, in 2016, the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) placed the MMJ in 4th position in Africa for journals that publish in the field of medicine.
