Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2022, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the journal Actuators (ISSN: 2076-0825). Since 2012, when the inaugural issue of Actuators was launched, we have already published more than 700 papers from more than 2200 authors. More than 1400 reviewers have submitted at least one review report. In 2019, Actuators was covered by the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) from Vol. 6 (2017). Our sincerest thanks go to our readers, innumerable authors, anonymous peer reviewers, editors, and all the people working for the journal in some way who have contributed their efforts for years. These highlights would not have occurred without your participation.
To mark this significant milestone, a Special Issue entitled “Actuators: 10th Anniversary” is being launched. This Special Issue includes high-quality papers under the broad scope of Actuators. We would like to invite you to contribute an original research paper or a comprehensive review article on a trending or hot topic for peer-review and possible publication.
New ideas and unique proposals for the future research and tutorial manuscripts for use in the instruction of junior researchers in this field are also encouraged.
