Editorial Board Members from Applied Sciences Featured in Stanford’s List of the World’s Top 2% Scientists

Stanford University has recently published an update of the list of the top 2% most widely cited scientists—the World’s Top 2% Scientists.
The time node of the statistical data of this list is from 1960 to 2022, and it is divided into two lists: "Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking" and "2022 Annual Scientific Influence Ranking". The "Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking" counts the comprehensive influence performance of scientists during their careers, and the "2022 Annual Influence Ranking" focuses on highlighting the academic influence of scientists in the previous year. This ranking, considered the most prestigious worldwide, is based on the bibliometric information contained in the Scopus database and includes more than 200,000 researchers from the more than 10 million scientists considered to be active worldwide, with 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields taken into account.
We are pleased to share that 610 Editorial Board Members from Applied Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3417) were featured in Stanford University World’s Top 2% Scientists list in 2022.

Dr. Jean-Claude André Appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of Section “Additive Manufacturing Technologies” in Applied Sciences

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jean-Claude André (Emeritus Research Director at CNRS) has been appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of "Additive Manufacturing Technologies" in Applied Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3417, IF: 2.838). Engineer "Processes" of the University of Lorraine, former scientific director of its National Polytechnic Institute, and former Deputy Director of the CNRS, Department of Engineering Sciences (Paris), he holds a Ph.D. in chemical-physics and a French doctorate in physical sciences, supplemented by two postdoctoral stays at the University of Western Ontario (Canada), where he completed his scientific skills on light-matter interactions and the signal processing of optical signals. Upon his return, he set up his team in the field of photo-physical and photochemical engineering. In 1984, with two colleagues, he was at the origin of the first patent on stereolithography, which he developed with his team. The initial lack of interest from the national environment led him to move to the private sector with the scientific responsibility of an R, R&D and consulting and training center of 700 people in charge of occupational risk prevention. This 12-year break reinforced his conviction of the need to engage researchers in interdisciplinary adventures. He returned as a scientific advisor to the CNRS headquarter, and as a "basic researcher", again involved in the 3D field and the development of 4D printing (plus bio-printing).
In addition to these new 3D manufacturing processes, his investment in the 4D field with a short, but efficient, French network of young colleagues attempts to break the epistemological barriers of the field: creativity, heuristics, interdisciplinary approaches, downstream control, inverse problem, proofs of concepts, etc. He is the origin of three start-ups in 3D machining and has about 50 patents (+5 under progress) and enough scientific papers (possibly over 300, ranging from physics, chemical physics, and optical engineering or process engineering to sociology and ethics) to allow for him to increase his investment in time-consuming “slow science”, divergent thinking (before convergence), and epistemology to try to go beyond the “conventional” New Public Management of the (French or European) scientific research system. He has published two books on photochemical engineering, three on additive manufacturing, one on Industry 4.0, three on chemical/process engineering, and two on 4D printing, either alone or with a colleague. Fearing not to do everything, he promised, before a probable end (which may be as far away as possible!). He has begun to write a book on creativity and innovation (now in press) and is beginning to explore biomimetic action paths for soft robotics based on 3D or 4D technologies.
The following is a short Q&A with Dr. Jean Claude André, who shared his vision for the Section with us, as well as his views on the research area and open access publishing:
1. What appealed to you about the journal that made you want to take the role as its Section Editor-in-Chief?I am a tinkerer of science who likes to cultivate himself and to open up to others; this is a big change from the narrow modes of today's too mono-disciplinary management. It is this vision that I wish to share.
2. What is your vision for the “Additive Manufacturing Technologies” Section?
The applied science approach should be more demand-driven and involve more exploration of complexity. This is particularly the case for 3D printing.
3. What does the future of this field of research look like, in your view?
With a technology that is around 40 years old, nothing is stabilized, which maintains a very open field for research, in particular application-oriented.
4. Who should contribute to this Section?
All those who can bring their high-level scientific and/or technological original contributions to the field.
5. What do you think of the development of Open Access in the publishing field?
Traditional journals now also play in this area.
We wish Dr. Jean Claude André every success in his new position, and we look forward to his contributions to the journal.

He has undertaken more than 10 scientific projects and published more than 170 papers and been authorized as the owner of 7 patents.
He has been awarded the second prize of the China’s State Natural Science Award, the China Youth Science and Technology Award, the Excellent Young Scholar of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Wu Zhonghua Outstanding Young Scholar Award of the Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics, the Excellent Research Award of the Combustion Institute, and the 2022 Energy and Fuel Rising Star.
The following is a short Q&A with Prof. Dr. Yuyang Li, who shared his vision for the journal and his views on the research area and open access publishing with us:
1. What appealed to you about the journal that made you want to take on the role of its Section Editor-in-Chief?
At present, great changes are taking place rapidly in the global energy field. The subject of applied thermal engineering plays a vital role in the energy revolution, and it has been a major topic of discussion. I have carried out long-term research on the subject of applied thermal engineering, especially in the field of combustion energy and power. I really appreciate the invitation from the Applied Sciences journal to be the Section Editor-in-Chief of “Applied Thermal Engineering”, and it is my pleasure to serve the international academic field of applied thermal engineering.
2. What is your vision for the Section "Applied Thermal Engineering"?
There are currently 18 Editorial Members in the Section “Applied Thermal Engineering” of Applied Sciences. Their research directions cover combustion, engineering thermodynamics, heat transfer, renewable energy, building energy conservation, energy storage, etc. In the future, we will further expand the editorial team, cover emerging research directions, and strengthen key research directions, so as to form a high-level stable source of submissions, increase the influence of the Section, and better serve the goal of disseminating academic achievements and promoting academic exchanges in the direction of applied thermal engineering.
3. Who should contribute to this Section, and what can readers expect?
Scholars, including mature Ph.D. students and post-doc researchers in the research field of applied thermal engineering can contribute to this Section, providing innovative academic ideas and valuable research progress to our readers.
4. What does the future of this field of research look like?
The research field of applied thermal engineering is an important supporting field of energy science and technology. The research directions of low-carbon thermal engineering, renewable energy, energy storage and heat storage, and novel energy-saving technologies are on the rise. A large number of cutting-edge research hotspots have been developed, such as hydrogen and ammonia combustion, solar photothermal technology, battery thermal management, and the thermal management of electronic devices. In the future, with the strong support from government and industry and the joint efforts of scholars in this field, I believe that the research field of applied thermal engineering will develop more vigorously.
5. What do you think of the development of Open Access in the publishing field?
Open Access is the general trend in academic publishing. As early as 2016, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research had announced the full implementation of the open access strategy. Chinese academic institutions are also actively exploring the open access mode for academic publishing. Founded in 2012 by the National Science Library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the China Open Access Promotion Week has been held ten consecutive times. I myself am also an advocate and beneficiary of the open access mode of academic publishing. This year alone, five papers by my research group have been or will be published through the open access mode.
We warmly welcome Prof. Dr. Yuyang Li to his new role as Section Editor-in-Chief of the “Applied Thermal Engineering” Section, and we look forward to his guidance in helping Applied Sciences reach new milestones.
