"A number of milestones have been achieved, indicating that the journal's quality has improved noticably over the last years ... We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Associate Editors, our expert reviewers, Blackwell Publishing and of course our esteemed readers for making this success story possible through their valued contribitutions. We feel we are justified in saying that Transplant International has successfully concluded its rites of passage.
