Introduction to the Summer 2024 Issue

Welcome to the summer 2024 issue of
IEEE Journal of Microwaves!
This month we bring you twenty-one new research papers plus our 2023 Impact Factor! After three and a half anxious years and countless hours of effort we have now received our Clarivate rankings and the news is good. The 2024 Journal Citation Report came out on June 20 and
IEEE Journal of Microwaves
received a journal impact factor (JIF) of 6.9, putting us 34
^th
of 354 journals in electrical engineering and
3^rd
amongst journals in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). Our Scopus Citescore was also received and lists us at 10.7. We are off to a good start and have plans to move to bimonthly issues in 2025. Keep an eye out for our upcoming special issue on Microwaves in Climate Change towards the end of this year.
