I am personally very excited for the ANZCJ year, with some informative papers currently under review and growing interest (and increasing overall impact) in our journal.Our big announcement for this month is that the ANZCJ has recently been accepted into the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).This news is an exciting and important step towards the continued international growth of our journal.Listing each of the published articles on the DOAJ will increase their visibility, accessibility, legitimacy and impact.This acceptance is still very recent, and we still have some work to do in the background getting it all setup.As such, I will have more updates on this in the next editorial.In the meantime we are still working hard to help increase the visibility of publications, and towards additional listings on a variety of databases globally.Our journal will remain Diamond Open Access this year, with full Open Access publication at no cost to authors or readers.We also allocate an individual DOI to each article, which allows global tracking, and work to promote each publication through a variety of methods.We are confident that this certainly makes the ANZCJ a very appealing option for those wishing to publish highquality research, as well as service the research and education needs of our continence community.In this edition of the ANZCJ we offer three publications, each of which I'm sure our readers will find of great interest.'Development of a Massive Open Online Course for carers of people living with dementia to support continence caregiving: a co-design approach' 1 investigates whether a co-design is an effective model when developing continencerelated educational content.The second article, 'Did you know : : : There are significant gaps in qualitative research on post-menopausal women with urinary incontinence?' 2 is under our "Did You Know" category, where our community can provide insights into something they have identified, or that needs attention in the continence space.The final article, 'A prospective observational study investigating pelvic floor muscle training effects on obstructed defaecation in female patients' 3 investigates not only physiological improvements, but also receives feedback from patients regarding their satisfaction, perceptions of the interventions, and overall compliance to the program.
