Updated Strategy and Scope of Metrology

Manufacturing Metrology Section, Manufacturing Processes and Systems (MaPS), Department of Mechanical Engineering, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium
Metrology 2023, 3(3), 292-293; https://doi.org/10.3390/metrology3030017
Submission received: 6 August 2023 / Accepted: 9 August 2023 / Published: 11 August 2023
Our journal ‘Metrology’ has been up and running for a few years now, with interesting and ground-breaking publications covering the wide field that the concept of ‘metrology’ encompasses. Now, the time has come to contemplate and look back to the publications and consider whether the subjects listed in the scope are still appropriate and up-to-date. Considering the published papers and the developments in the various research fields, we concluded that the subjects mentioned in the scope are largely appropriate and up-to-date, but some fine adjustments and extensions can be made.
The basic scope is considered appropriate, but the listed topics have been updated and broadened as indicated in Table 1:
With this update, we want to encourage the submission papers in the mentioned fields and continue the progress of the journal in the right direction.
