Dear colleagues and members of the ginseng research;  

The Korean Society of Ginseng would like to send good wishes for the coming year to all of our members, colleagues, and supporters. Thank you for all of your help in 2015.  

We enter the year 2016 with great plans and are looking forward to full of innovation on discovering new efficacies and establishing scientific basis for ginseng. The Korean Society of Ginseng publishes the Journal of Ginseng Research (JGR), an open access journal indexed by PubMed Central, Scopus, and SCIE. The 2014 impact factor of JGR is 2.815. The journal ranked 23 out of 59 in Chemistry, Medicinal field.  However, JGR  will also be included in the Integrative & Complementary Medicine field starting from 2015 JCR, and JGR ranking in the Integrative & Complementary Medicine would be expected to be increased.
