Introduction

I am honored to share with you the third issue of the Grand Journal of Urology (Grand J Urol) with the contributions of many respected researchers and authors.

Our journal has been indexed in Index Copernicus International (ICI), EuroPub and SciLit international databases since the second issue. Our applications to Ebsco Host and J Gate databases were also accepted and license agreements were signed mutually. The journal and its content will soon be included in the relevant databases. As of these achievements, the Grand Journal of Urology (GJU) has taken its place among the journals indexed by international databases. With this result, GJU was entitled to be included in the journals in category 1b defined in the application criteria for associate professorship.

In this third issue of our journal, there are many valuable articles under the subheadings of Female Urology, General Urology, Urolithiasis, Urological Oncology, Renal Transplantation, Andrology, Functional Urology, Neurourology and Genitourinary Radiology. I hope that these carefully prepared articles will make important contributions to valuable readers, researchers and the urology literature.

On this occasion, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our authors who have contributed to our journal with their articles, to our reviewers who have meticulously evaluate the articles, to our designers and to our publisher.

Respectfully yours
September 2021
Assoc. Prof. Ekrem GUNER, MD
