10th Anniversary of Actuators
The year 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of Actuators, an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal containing research on the science and technology of actuators and control systems. At present, more than 725 papers, from more than 2200 authors, have been published in Actuators. In addition, more than 1400 reviewers have submitted at least one review report to this journal. We greatly value the contributions made by authors and reviewers. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Actuators, we are arranging a series of special content and events. We hope that you are able to join us to celebrate this milestone of our journal and enjoy the collection below.
