I'm writing this letter to share my views on the article regarding the writing of reviews.1 I have very good personal experience in dealing with the journals that publish review articles through their Web sites. I have received encouraging responses from their editorial staff. I think it is very important for faculty to write a review article to be recognized in a particular field. Most of the time, review writing does help to overcome the barriers in one's own research.
