Year-End Message by the Outgoing Editor-in-Chief

As the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Open Journal of Instrumentation and Measurement (OJIM), it is my pleasure to write this Year-End Message for OJIM’s second year of operations. As you may know by now, OJIM is the Gold Open Access publication of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS). All articles are Open Access and available for free to all readers. OJIM is also an online-only and Volume-only journal, meaning that papers are published online continuously as they are accepted. Since there is very little waiting time for a paper to be assigned to the current Volume, OJIM is a rapid-publication and competitive journal by today’s publishing standards. The year 2023 saw OJIM’s second Volume successfully published, so let us take a look at some specifics.
