Over the last year, we maintained the level of submissions to Research in Engineering Design as in the previous year. We published 32 papers as in the previous year with 15% increase in their volume. Quantities are definitely not the main criteria for evaluating the journal operation; it is important that we are constantly striving to improve the review process and the published papers. I hope that you followed the publications of the last year and will continue to do so in the future
None of this would have been possible without the extended community supporting the journal: the authors that trust the results of their research with the journal team, the area editors and the editorial board members, and the many dedicated reviewers
I would like to extend my deep gratitude to the numerous reviewers who contributed their efforts to maintain and improve the high quality of the journal. The reviewers, outside the editorial board, who completed a review this year are as follows:
