The year 2020 is an extremely unusual year. The world lost more than one million lives due to the attack of COVID-19. Economic production has been greatly reduced, and daily activities are largely restricted. Luckily the work of Chinese Journal of Traumatology (CJTEE) has not been adversely affected. 2020 is a harvest year for the journal, which (1) was included in the high-quality academic journals by China Association for Science and Technology; (2) cover of each issue is newly designed; (3) submission increased by about 60% with more countries and regions covered; (4) usage in the ScienceDirect database exceeded a million; (5) the CiteScore rises to more than 2.0 the first time. This study reviewed the articles published in the year 2020 by CJTEE.

Modern medicine, characterised by the enormous impact of rapid advances in science and technology, has vastly enhanced the doctor's professional capabilities and has made the practice of medicine more intellectually challenging as well as professionally satisfying. It has also made medicine more complex and demanding. In addition to having to keep pace with rapid medical advances, the doctor has to deal with 1) the issue of sorting the wheat from the chaff out of the deluge of new drugs and equipment presented to him, 2) the issue of rationing and determining priorities within the limits of finite resources, 3) the issue of appropriate response to new ethical challenges presented by the application of new technologies and 4) the issue of maintaining the human face of medicine in the context of growing presence and impact of technology. As doctors, we have the responsibility to ensure that through steadfast commitment to professionalism, through wisdom and insight we can harvest and maximise the vast potential of technology in caring for our patients. This is a challenge we must accept in the cause of our patients' welfare, the paramount concern of our professional creed.
