Abstract: With publication of the first number of volume 3 of OBESITY RESEARCH, the time is ripe to review where we have been and where we are going. There are now two widely accepted journals covering the field of obesity. It was not always so. Until 20 years ago only one journal had appeared with the word “obesity” in its title, and its publication was short lived (Table 1). The growth of medical journalism in this field over the past 20 years, as in other fields, is a reflection of the growth of scientific manpower and knowledge which had its beginnings in the scientific revolution more than 300 years ago. The frustration engendered by this steady and rapid growth of scientific journals has been reflected in the quotations from many scholars. Below are a few of these.
