Congratulations IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society!

Congratulations IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society! We’ve been included in Web of Science™. Articles published after 2023 will be included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index.

So happy to announce this wonderful news! Last month we were Scopus indexed, and this month WoS. For a new journal, it doesn’t get much better than this. And for a community of transdisciplinary scholars at IEEESSIT, this is a major milestone.

I am so proud to announce this as I handover to the new Editor’s-in-Chief George Roussos and Jordan Richard Schoenherr, PhD and an incredibly committed editorial board. When I took on the responsibility of founding a new journal it took 2 years to get through from planning to go-live in 2020 with letters of intent right through to several detailed proposal and budgeting stages.

John Impagliazzo was there every step of the way! AndreAnna McLean our dedicated managing editor worked tirelessly week in/week out (and still does), as did the late Katie Sullivan whom we remember daily and we know would be beaming from ear-to-ear to hear this news.

For anyone who has spent any amount of time working with IEEE behind the scenes, seeing the sophisticated business processes rolled-out at scale, and witnessing how dedicated everyone is in their role, we thank you. Panel of Editors conferences have always been top-notch; our publications structures A+; and response time to editors, authors, and the community at large excellent. This is hashtag#impact. Caring for one another toward the future.

To everyone who was there from the beginning, including our senior founding editors, our dedicated associate editors, reviewers, administrator we thank you. We especially thank our readership and our brilliant Society.

One thing I am really proud of as EIC, we were true to our original proposal. IEEE TTS was always going to be open to all disciplines, and to all forms of impact.

To the academics from across the globe, thank you for believing in us from the beginning- from the super-technical, to the sociotechnical, to the sociological- you made this journal available to a wide readership with your diverse theories, literatures, methodologies and methods.

To the institutes, societies, government agencies, not-for-profits, standards development organizations, technology companies, consumer representative groups, advocacy groups, public interest lawyers, journalists, philosophers, creative writers, independent writers who were fearless in submitting work for consideration, this is what makes TTS so special. And that’s what an ecosystem truly is.
