The Journal Extracellular Vesicles and Circulating Nucleic Acids (EVCNA) provides an online platform for
sharing of research data, new methodologies, reviews, and commentaries on these exciting areas of research
that are moving at a rapid pace, involving partnerships between academia and industry to bring liquid
biopsy biomarker assays and exosomal delivery of therapeutic agents to clinical use. At the same time, the
journal supports publication of strong basic research which enables development of clinical applications.
EVCNA will be published quarterly with additional Special Issues focusing on specific topics. We have
assembled an eminent group of international researchers with expertise across the topics covered by the
Journal to serve on the Editorial Board. Manuscripts with clinical relevance are especially encouraged
to promote the translation from basic science to clinical applications. The criteria for acceptance will be
scientific excellence and originality. We also aim to have a quick turnaround time for processing of articles
submitted for publication without compromising rigorous peer review.

In this first issue of ECVNA, scheduled to be launched in December 2020, we will publish a report of the
highlights of the American Society of Extracellular Microvesicles 2020 meeting that was successfully held
as a virtual conference during 17-19 November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also include
abstracts of talks and posters that were presented at the meeting. Our second issue is scheduled to be
published in March 2021 with five scientific articles. We would like to invite you to submit papers for future
issues of EVCNA (www.evcna.com).
