Abstract
The IET RSN journal has always published a significant number of Special Issues. In some cases, these have been based on the theme of a new technology or set of applications. In others, they have presented developments of the best papers from a particular conference. Both approaches have led to coherent, high-quality collections of papers that are easy to locate.
In this rapidly-changing landscape of publications, we have taken the decision to continue and to grow such Special Issues and have appointed Professor Alessio Balleri to oversee this. We welcome proposals for Special Issues from potential Guest Editors but emphasise that papers in Special Issues will receive the same degree of review and scrutiny as regular papers.
Open Access has become an increasingly popular means of handling the publication process. In partnership with Wiley, 27 of IET's hybrid journal programmes successfully transitioned to Gold OA in 2020. There are now 43 OA journals in the IET's portfolio, and the programme is expanding.
The editors of the RSN journal have always striven to maintain a reputation for rapid processing and publication. Statistics for Q1–Q3 of 2023 show that the average time from submission to first decision is 29 days and from acceptance to e-first publication is 25 days. This achievement has depended on rapid responses by our reviewers, and we express our gratitude to the reviewers for their time, expertise and hard work in refereeing papers and maintaining the reputation of the journal, both for quality and for rapid publication. This is an essential part of the publication process, but necessarily the reviewers must remain anonymous. This editorial is one place where we can acknowledge their contribution and record our thanks to them.
