Dear Readers, Authors, Reviewers, Editorial Board Members, Editorial Office Members,

We are pleased and honored to inform you that, according to the 2024 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) from Clarivate released on June 20, 2024, the International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics (IJMSD) received its first Journal Impact Factor of 3.4 (2023). IJMSD ranks 42nd out of 180 journals in the Engineering, Mechanical category (Q1, top 23.1%), and 39th out of 170 journals in the Mechanics category (Q1, top 22.6%).

On behalf of the IJMSD Editorial Board, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all authors, Editorial Board Members, peer reviewers, publisher Wiley, Editorial Office Members, and entire mechanical-engineering research community for their support and contributions to IJMSD.

Since publishing the inaugural issue in November 2021, more than 2 years ago, IJMSD has received several other recognitions that include the following: it was selected for the High Starting Point New Journal Project of Excellence Action Plan for China Scientific, Technical, and Medical (STM) Journals in the founding year; indexed by Scopus in 2022, as well as by ESCI and Ei Compendex in 2023; selected in the first batch for the High Starting Point New Journal Project of Excellence Action Plan for STM Journals in Jiangsu Province in 2024; and included in JCR Q1 for both Engineering, Mechanical, and Mechanics categories.

With the continued support from our research community, we hope that IJMSD will serve as a platform for the dissemination of new analytical and numerical results, for publishing high-quality and original research contributions, and for the promotion of the field of mechanical system dynamics.
