A Warm Welcome to New Members of the J-EDS Editorial Board

EVER thought it was possible for anyone to access your written word anytime from anywhere around the world. Well! That time is here now. The popularity of J-EDS as an OPEN ACCESS publication of the Electron Devices Society continues to grow. In response to this, I am again expanding the editorial board of J-EDS by adding six new subject editors. In keeping with the past tradition, these professionals are established senior researchers highly respected by their peers in their area of expertise. In addition, they also espouse the J-EDS editorial culture of being author friendly. They are committed to not only arrange a timely peer review of the manuscript but also work proactively with the author(s) in overcoming the perceived deficiencies which surface during the review process. As mentioned in my Jan. 2013 editorial [1] “In a sense, the editor is to assume a supportive role in helping the author improve the quality of the manuscript rather than simply passing a judgment.”
