Abstract
One year has passed since the launch of Synthesiology. In its first year, four issues containing 24 research papers were published. We have attempted to present original research papers with a new style of expression that differ from those of conventional journals. We have received positive reactions from a wide cross section of readers engaged in a variety of fields, as well as from the authors and reviewers. On the one-year anniversary of the journal, the editors got together for a roundtable discussion to reflect on the first year and to speculate on the future of Synthesiology.
