This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation. On May 25th (Friday), 2019, the Spring Conference will be held at Pusan National University with the theme of “Hope for Tomorrow.”

Professor Hideaki Soya of Tsukuba University in Japan, Professor Mi-Hyeon Jang of Mayo University in USA, Professor Eyleen Goh of Duke-NUS University in Singapore, and Professor Joon-Young Park of Temple University in USA are invited on this conference. This conference will be a very glorious conference because the professors with great research ability will participate on this conference. Through this conference, I would like to present academic achievement as a way to overcome limitations of exercise rehabilitation.

I think that the more we are in trouble, the more we should go back to the basic and principle. The academic establishment of exercise rehabilitation is an essential condition for development of exercise rehabilitation as well as the development of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation. It is also a hopeful task for us to establish the new theory of exercise rehabilitation with the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation as the main axis.

Many articles have been published in the Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation (JER) Volume 15, Issue 2. In contrast, many of the articles contributed were dropped. I ask authors contributing articles to the JER to pay more attention to the format of JER, especially the references.

JER, the official journal of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation, has achieved many internationalization results, such as listing in PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, and ESCI. However, the internationalization process of JER still should be continued. In addition to the format, JER must develop into the outstanding international journal in terms of content. The internationalization of JER will make JER to stand out as a leading vehicle for collection and developing the knowledge of exercise rehabilitation around the world.

Our hope for the future is to acquire the recent knowledge of exercise rehabilitation through academic conference and to establish exercise rehabilitation as a global academic standard through JER. As always, we will have to work harder for this hope.

I would like to thank the Pusan National University executives who prepared this conference and many others who helped this conference. I hope to meet you in Busan, a beautiful marine city, at May.
