Introduction to the March 2025 Issue

Abstract

As we move forward into our fifth year of production with an official impact factor of 6.9 and full indexing on Web of Science and Scopus, we have greatly expanded our editorial board to handle the increased influx of submitted papers. Over the coming few months, we would like to reduce our article queue and our submission-to-decision time without sacrificing our quality or personal attention to authors and readers. We are hopeful that our now 36 Topic Editors will help us in this endeavor as well as bringing even more technical breadth and quality to our decision processes. Our March issue contains twenty technical articles covering our typically wide swath of microwave technologies and applications with emphasis this month on health sciences, low power energy transfer, radar, and filter circuits. We also bring the reader's attention to our recently released special issue Microwaves in Climate Change and announce our 2023 Best Paper Award and our 2024 Outstanding Reviewers.
