ear friends, the designation of Fracture and Structural Integrity as a “Verified Journal” on ResearchGate has already led to a significant increase in the journal's visibility. Remarkably, in just a few weeks, the CiteScoreTracker 2025 metric climbed from 3.4 (matching the 2024 value) to 3.6! During the same period, we were also delighted to introduce a new, enhanced way to access our content. Starting with the January 2025 issue, all published papers are now additionally available as HTML files. This major upgrade ensures seamless accessibility and optimized rendering on any screen size, offering our readers greatly improved readability and a superior user experience, especially when using mobile devices. Now… some details about the next IGF event: The fourth European Conference on the Structural Integrity of Additively Manufactured Materials (ESIAM26) that will be held in Vicenza, Italy, and online (February 18-20, 2026). We invite specialists in fracture, fatigue, and damage tolerance of AM materials to submit their essential work to ESIAM26. This conference provides a vital platform for advancing the science needed for reliable AM component certification. Join us hybrid-style, February 18–20, 2026, in Vicenza, Italy, or online. We seek contributions that bridge the gap between research and industrial utilisation. Visit www.esiam.site for important dates and abstract submission details.
