| description abstract | Binil Starly Guest EditorBinil Starly Guest Editor The 18th ASME International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC 2023), sponsored by the Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) of ASME, was held from June 12 to June 16, 2023, in New Brunswick, NJ. MSEC 2023 received 175 submissions. After rigorous peer review, 165 technical papers were accepted for publication. The technical papers had global representation, with authors from the USA, India, China, Romania, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Canada, and several other countries from Asia, Europe, and South America. For the first time, we had five authors, who had recently published in Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering (JMSE), present their paper at MSEC 2023. Among the accepted technical papers, MSEC symposium organizers nominated 23 candidate papers to be fast-tracked to the ASME JMSE. All the candidate papers, together with their reviews, were sent to the JMSE Editor-in-Chief for a new round of journal paper review. The JMSE Editor-in-Chief invited 21 papers, to be further reviewed by the journal. A total of 11 top MSEC papers received positive journal reviews and were compiled and published in this JMSE Special Issue on MSEC 2023. | |
