The AJPM Editorial Office recently celebrated the completion of a long term project with the digitization of all articles ever appearing in the journal, extending back to our very beginnings in 1985. We marked the occasion in our December 2018 issue with a wonderful commentary on the 34-year history of AJPM from Dr. F. Douglas Scutchfield, who was among the small group of individuals who founded the journal and served as an author in that initial issue.
The article represents the first of what is now a voluminous 20-year body of research on ACEs. It has garnered approximately 5,000 citations while also attracting the attention of the media, the public, and researchers worldwide. Dr. Felitti graciously agreed to provide a fascinating look back at the origins of ACE study in an accompanying commentary,
which appears in our June issue along with an equally interesting critical assessment of the original paper and review of the contemporary state of ACE research by Craig McEwen and Scout Gregerson.
We hope you enjoy our new From the Archive series and find the rest of our June issue to be timely, topical, and informative.
