TCAD EIC Message: February 2019

As we close out the year 2018, it is time to reflect back a number of milestones achieved throughout the year. The transition to the new EIC and team included a 50-member editorial board with 19 new members selected after an extensive round of open call for editorial board nominations. While, this was a reduction in the editorial board from 66 members previously, the response time remained steady at about two months from submission to first decision. As of this writing in December, we received 469 new manuscripts as well as 371 revised manuscripts in 2018. The top two departments with substantial lead over the rest were “Modeling and Simulation” and “Emerging Technologies and Applications.”
