The Korean Journal of Urology (KJU) changes its title to Investigative and Clinical Urology (ICUrology) starting in January 2016. This change intends to open doors for more international authors and readers [1].

The KJU has been published as an official journal of the Korean Urological Association since 1960 [12]. The KJU is currently indexed in major international databases, such as MEDLINE, PubMed, PubMed Central, ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation index), Scopus, Embase, and EBSCO. ICUrology will continue with the vision and volume number of the KJU.

ICUrology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published bimonthly. ICUrology aims to cover state-of-the-art research, basic and clinical, that will have an impact on our understanding of various urological diseases and improve health care worldwide. Focusing on laboratory and clinical investigations related to urology, ICUrology publishes original research, reviews, reports, editorials, and video clips.

By providing the latest information on diverse topics in urology, ICUrology offers concise and comprehensive overviews to help readers keep track of current trends and stay on top of important topics as well as aid in continuing education for urologists, related specialists, and other health care professionals with an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions. Notable features of ICUrology include easy-to-access online video clips and illustrations of newly developed surgical techniques that can be viewed on the journal's website or by a QR (quick response) code located in the article. Overall, ICUrology strives to be comprehensive by imparting highly relevant and timely knowledge to a broad audience involved in research or clinical practice.

ICUrology supports its editorial board members to improve the journal's quality. We have also invited internationally recognized experts in each field of urology as associate editors, such as Karl-Erik Andersson (Denmark), Ben Challacombe (UK), James A. Eastham (USA), Christopher P. Evans (USA), Shigeo Horie (Japan), Kyu-Sung Lee (Korea), and consulting editors, such as Prokar Dasgupta (UK), Irwin Goldstein (USA), Sun Huh (Korea), Wun-Jae Kim (Korea), Francesco Montorsi (Italy), Yinghao Sun (China). The Editorial Board members consist of international researchers from 12 countries such as Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Turkey, Australia, Canada, and USA. We will continue to recruit more international researchers as editorial board members and reviewers.

The URL of the homepage of ICUrology is http://www.icurology.org/. Another URL http://www.icurology.com, is also directed to same page. The official abbreviated journal title is Investig Clin Urol and its acronym is ICUrology. We can say 'I see, Urology' which can be easily memorized as the acronym.

ICUrology strives to impart highly relevant and timely knowledge to a broad audience. ICUrology welcomes high-quality research and innovative studies in both investigative and clinical urology for rapid review and early publication.

The Editorial Board will do its best to publish high-quality articles for international scholars and readers.
