Editorial

Abstract

I am honored to serve our manufacturing community as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering (JMSE). JMSE is a historical journal and is thriving. In July 2022, JMSE has the highest impact factor (3.95) among all ASME Technical Journals (excluding Applied Mechanics Reviews), thanks to many of you and, in part, to quicker review times and our successful Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) Centennial Special Issue last year. On behalf of the Editorial team, I want to express our immense gratitude to Professor Larry Yao for his 10 years of wholehearted service that helped make JMSE what it is today. Larry has elevated JMSE to a new height by assembling an outstanding editorial team, maintaining high quality in the review process, building an excellent reputation for the journal, and reducing the time from submission to publication. Our manufacturing community is indebted to him for his great service to JMSE.
