Congratulations to the author team! We believe the article will be more shining in the future. We also sincerely thank the academic editors, reviewers, and all those who contributed behind the scenes to the review and publication process. 

With the leadership of our Editor-in-Chief Prof. Maryam Tabrizian, we will continue to place greater emphasis on high-quality submissions and publications to further promote the journal. In the following year, the "Highly Cited Paper Award" policy will be continued to recognize authors of high-quality contributions.

Thanks to the help of our Guest Editor Prof. Rupinder Singh, EBMX journal was promoted at "the 8th National Conference on Advances in Manufacturing Technology" held at National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research Sector (https://www.nitttrchd.ac.in/), Chandigarh, India, from Feb. 29 to March 01, 2024.

This conference is a crossdisciplinary summit that transcends departmental, institutional, industrial, public, and private research organizations and global barriers and lends itself to the integration of research and education in the vital fields of advanced materials, their processing, the use of automation, and industrial robotics. At the conference, Prof. Rupinder Singh, as the Organizing Co-Chair, introduced EBMX and his special issue on EBMX: Metal 3D Printing of Biometals for Prostheses and Implants (https://www.explorationpub.com/Journals/ebmx/Special_Issues/265) to the attendees. The attending experts show their interests in this new journal and its editorial policies. Some of them have submitted their research results after the conference. This conference helped EBMX to attract potential authors while also increasing EBMX’s exposure and influence.

This is the first conference which EBMX's guest editors are included, and we believe that through Prof. Rupinder Singh's promotion at the conference, more researchers will know and pay attention to EBMX. In the future, we will continue to promote more conference opportunities, and welcome more experts like Prof. Rupinder Singh to join us to promote journal and increase the exposure of EBMX. Our editorial office will give you all our support.
