Publishing is the backbone of academic studies - it is the traditional means of disseminating research results, communicating new ideas and techniques, and also used for securing tenure for those in the academic field.

Finding avenues for publication can be both complex and daunting for the young conservator. Results or conclusions must be validated and deemed of use to the field to be worthy of publication. Therefor, Parental proudly present those who are hungry for chance of publication to publish their article in this journal while still maintaining its quality. 

It is with great pleasure our editorial board could present the First Parental Journal Edition of 2017. Parental Editorial Board would like to extend our thanks personally to all the authors, reviewers and readers for their contribution. Lastly, we are aware that this Journal is nothing close to perfect, therefor we would like to invite every personal for criticism and suggestion.
