It is an honour to be invited to write the first editorial of the New Year for the Annals of Hepatology. 2018 is the 16th year of the Annals, a journal that was created by Dr. Nahum Mendez-Sanchez who has been the editor-inchief since the beginning. The Annals started as the official journal of the Mexican Association for the Study of Liver (MASL) and the Latin American Association for the Study of Liver (LASL) and, as hepatologists living and practicing outside of Mexico and Latin America, we felt that a perspective of the Annals from “the outside” may be insightful. In the 16 years of its existence, the Annals has quickly evolved from a regional journal to a truly international journal that still maintains its mission of promoting academic Hepatology within Mexico and Latin America. Indeed, the growing international profile of the Annals has most likely enhanced the profile of both MASL and LASL as well as its members. The evolution of the Annals is reflected by the growing proportion of original research papers published and the increasing number of papers published each year.
