| description abstract | The ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering had an exceptional year. The journal received 412 paper submissions in 2023, which was a significant increase from 2022. The average time a paper spends in review remains just under 3 months, which is in line with our peer journals. The Editors-in-Chief are committed to further reducing the time spent in review.We sincerely thank all the Associate Editors (AEs) for their hard work and dedication. This year, the following AEs completed their terms: Anton Bowden, Sandra Shefelbine, and Sarah Vigmostad. We thank each of them for their service. We welcomed new AEs: Peter Cripton, Byron Erath, Luke Timmins, Jolanda Wentzel, Adrian Buganza Tepole, and Elizabeth Rapp van Roden. We also welcomed back many AEs for a second term: Craig Goergen, Nicole Hashemi, Songbai Ji, Ethan Kung, Matthew Panzer, David Pierce, Francesco Travascio, and Tishya Wren. Persons at Associate Professor or higher rank, or with equivalent industrial positions/experience, are encouraged to contact Vicky and Ross if they are interested in possibly becoming an Associate Editor for Journal of Biomechanical Engineering (JBME). | |
