It was a great honor for the Kenya Association of Urological Surgeons (KAUS) to entrust our editorial board with the duty of publishing the Kenya Journal of Urology (KUJ) on behalf of the KAUS. The presence of many urologists in Kenya and the East African region and the establishment of urology as a discipline of surgery has helped us bring out this journal even though starting from scratch is always challenging.
We have started this journal at a time when medical publishing has become ever more scrutinized and the authors, editors and publishers need to scrutinize carefully what they put out there.
There is increased knowledge and use of methodology and statistics further enriching articles in every publication. Peer review is now a standard of production in all publications and ours will not be any different. It is the responsibility of authors and editors to use soft wares to identify plagiarism fabrication and deficiencies in honesty. We must ensure that ethical issues, conflict of interest are important considerations in our publications.
We have launched this journal knowing that there are challenges to overcome but we are confident that members of our society, students, researchers and our collaborators have trust in us. We shall run this journal in the most professional way and we shall be courageous enough as we introduce a culture of publishing amongst our members and promoting the seeking of knowledge processing it and distributing it for the improvement in the practice of urology.
