New Editors-in-Chief Announced for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions Journals In December, Tresa M. Pollock, University of California, Santa Barbara, stepped down after eight years as principal editor of the Metallurgical and Materials Transactions (MMT) journals. This month, two new editors will take leadership of the respective MMT journals: Jonathan Cormier of ISAE-ENSMA and Institut Pprime in France as editor-in-chief for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A (MMTA) and Il Sohn of Yonsei University in South Korea as editor-in-chief for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B (MMTB). Jonathan Cormier first became involved with MMTA in 2014 as a key reader for the journal. In this capacity, he handled articles related to high temperature materials, mostly superalloys. He served as an associate editor beginning in 2016. “Met Trans A is one of the unique journals focusing on physical metallurgy,” said Cormier. Under his leadership, Cormier says that the journal will stay focused on its traditional coverage areas, but editors will also encourage submissions related to advanced manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing and sintering, medium and high-entropy alloys, and future technologies for power generation. “My hopes for the journal are to keep a fair and ethical review process, to maintain diversity, to decrease the time to first decision, and to increase the impact factor,” he said. Il Sohn was first introduced to MMTB during his graduate studies at Yonsei University in 1998. He served as a key reader for MMTB beginning in 2012 and as an associate editor beginning in 2018. The journal is unique, he said, in that it serves both the ferrous and non-ferrous research areas including minerals and composites. “Its broad topic in the processing and engineering of metals and materials allows a wide range of authors to take interest in the journal and submit NEW MET TRANS EDITORS Sohn Cormier
