oa PREFACE

Drug Metabolism Letters is in its 6th volume. It publishes letter and original research articles on major advances in all areas of drug metabolism and disposition. The emphasis is on publishing quality papers very rapidly by taking full advantage of the Internet technology both for the submission and review of manuscripts. DML is a global medium for the publication of letters and research articles. We foresee that the journal will accomplish a good impact factor in impending years. Editors and reviewers have made their best efforts to bring in optimum quality papers to raise the readership of the journal. I would like to thank the board of the journal for their constant and prolific collaboration. Of great importance, Bentham Science Publishers has introduced a rapid online system for manuscript submission and processing (http://bsp-cms.eurekaselect.com/) which will help authors' to track their submissions easily by checking their work portals. As with any new venture, there is a preliminary learning curvature, but the board is now working with new system and we anticipate amplified speed in the peer-reviewing in the forthcoming years. I would like to thank all the scientists who shared their finest contributions with DML. It has been and continues to be a vast contentment to interact with the contributors in scientific society. With the continued allegiance of DML's contributors, the journal will continue to grow in stature.
