Editorial: Continuous Improvement of JTAER through Monitoring Performance Indicators

An important mission of JTAER is to maintain the high quality of the journal. This mission can be implemented into the following three objectives: (i) continuously improve the quality of the papers published in the journal, (ii) promote the quality of the review process, and (iii) increase the readership of the journal. While the editors and members of the editorial board actively worked with authors and potential authors toward these three objectives, we also monitored the performance indicators that measure the achievement of these objectives. In this issue, we would like to share with readers of the journal our progress seen through these indicators.
