2019 has been a good year at TSM. Our 2017 Impact Factor was 1.35, representing another year of continuous increase since 2011. Over the course of this year, we have revised the Scope and Aims of the journal for the first time since its launch in 1988, in order to broaden the reach of the journal to manufacturing aspects of related areas such as photovoltaic devices and micro-electro-mechanical systems. I would encourage all of you review the new scope on IEEE Xplore.
