Abstract
This is our fourth and final quarterly issue for Volume 1, 2021 of the IEEE Journal of Microwaves (JMW). We wind up our first year with 15 new articles: four invited manuscripts, nine regular contributions, and two of our Special Series pieces: Microwaves are Everywhere and Breakthroughs in Microwaves. As we plan for our future, we also look back on an exciting and satisfying inaugural year.
Highlights
We have reached the last of our quarterly issues for Volume 1 of our fledgling journal. With this first experiment of a fully open access publication entirely within the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, we have strived to bring to life a broad-based, stand-alone publication, with significant outreach and fresh appeal, while maintaining the high-quality content and traditional format that are hallmarks of all of our subscription-based journals
It may seem to some readers that we have just launched our information-laden vessel onto the already overpopulated ocean of technical content, we have been working and planning our christening for more than two and one-half years
It seems like a lifetime! In this Intro to our Autumn Issue, we summarize our technical content, take a brief look back, and take a tentative look forward
Summary
We have reached the last of our quarterly issues for Volume 1 of our fledgling journal. LOOKING BACK ON VOLUME 1 we have only been visible for a short nine months, it is useful to take a quick look back at our progress, gauge our accomplishments, and own up to our shortfalls As this Editor stated in his opening editorial to the Inaugural Issue of IEEE JOURNAL OF MICROWAVES [2], “Starting up a new journal from scratch is a daunting task ...”. LOOKING FORWARD TO VOLUME 2 Looking ahead to 2022, and Volume 2 of IEEE JOURNAL OF MICROWAVES, we want to continue to bring you a range of Special Series features, invited comprehensive review and tutorial articles, a wide range of regular contributed papers, and exposure to areas and applications of microwaves that you might not otherwise see in one of our more traditional publications. You will find photos and short bios of our entire team at the end of this editorial introduction to Volume 1, Issue 4 of IEEE JOURNAL OF MICROWAVES
