title: What is the purpose of launching the World Journal of Transplantation?
abstract: Congratulations to the publisher, members of the editorial board of the journal, all the authors and readers for launching the World Journal of Transplantation (WJT) as a new member of the World series journal family. Transplantations are rapidly evolving and share knowledge with a number of basic and clinical sciences: molecular biology, stem cell investigators, immune system, pharmacology, biotechnology, surgery and physicians of different organs such as the kidneys, liver, heart, lung, bone marrow and so on. The WJT is a peer reviewed open access journal centered on the different fields involved in transplant activity. If you want to share your experiences and new findings in the field of transplantation with your peers you will find the WJT a good media to publish your papers.
