Happy 10^th anniversary, <i>Advanced Optical Materials</i>!

Advanced Optical Materials has reached yet another milestone – this year the journal is officially turning 10 years old. The journal has matured over the past years as it was continuously growing in terms of quantity and quality of incoming submissions and responding to the needs of scientific community by featuring topics of particular interest. With confidence and optimism Advanced Optical Materials is entering the new decade of its existence and we are looking forward to the new success stories of the journal in the years to come. With a current annual output of over 800 papers, the journal offers an attractive publication platform for high-quality research at the intersection of materials science and optics. We are especially glad to witness a ca. 25% growth in the optional open-access publications as compared to the previous year. This fact indicates that more and more of our authors are benefitting from Wiley's transformational agreements, which ease a financial burden associated with article publication charges for open access and enable free access to the content of Wiley's journals. As the number of institutions participating in this initiative is constantly increasing, we expect that a trend to publishing open access will become even more pronounced in the future. It is perhaps not a big surprise that the most accessed articles of 2022 featured in Table 1 are all open access. Therefore, we highly recommend the interested readers, aiming at increasing visibility of their research, to explore own open-access opportunities either by consulting Wiley Author Services or by enquiring their institutional library.

Optical Mater. 2022, 6, 2101930 10.1002/adom.202101930 With the journal’ impact factor surpassing the symbolic 10-point threshold (10.050 according to Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2022)), Advanced Optical Materials is currently ranked in the top 10 journals in optics. A showcase of the most impactful papers contributing to this success is given in Table 2. We are proud that our authors have chosen Advanced Optical Materials for dissemination of their important findings to the optics community. Adv.

Optical Mater. 2019, 7, 1900185 10.1002/adom.201900185 In July 2022, Advanced Optical Materials featured a special Issue “Photonics and Optoelectronics of Nanosystems” (Issue 14, Figure 1), guest-edited by Lakshminarayana Polavarapu (University of Vigo, Spain), Jacek K. Stolarczyk (Jagiellonian University, Poland), Theobald Lohmüller (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany). This issue was dedicated to the 60th birthday of Professor Jochen Feldmann (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich), a world-renowned scientist in optical spectroscopy of nanosystems. The former members of his group, friends and collaborators have contributed to this special issue with a collection of reviews and original articles reflecting the latest advances in optical spectroscopy, optoelectronic devices and bio-applications of nanosystems. In the new year, numerous exciting projects on diverse optics-related topics are being planned to celebrate the journal's 10th anniversary together with our Board Members, authors, reviewers and readers. Among them are special issues on Advanced All-Organic Microphotonic Components and Integrated Circuits (guest-edited by Rajadurai Chandrasekar), Optical Metamaterials and Information Metamaterials (guest-edited by Tiejun Cui, Xiangang Luo and Guixin Li), Photophysics of Halide Perovskites—from Bulk to Nano (guest-edited by Sascha Feldmann), Nanoparticles with Chiroptical Responses (guest-edited by Jianfang Wang), Optical Imaging and Therapy (guest-edited by Jun Lin, Dayong Jin, and Bengang Xing), and even more. The Hall of Fame series showcasing the outstanding achievements of leading international researchers in the field of optical materials science will be free to access for a limited time. A virtual collection Women in Photonics featuring an excellent research conveyed by women is regularly updated with selected articles. Last but not least, Advanced Optical Materials is now contributing to a Rising Stars collection of invited original papers by promising early-stage career researchers. Reflecting on the past and looking ahead into the future, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Prof. Reuven Gordon for his service as Board Member and welcome Dr. Makhsud Saidaminov, both from University of Victoria, Canada, on Board. The scientific expertise of the journal's Board Members represented by leading researchers in the field is of crucial importance for the success of Advanced Optical Materials. Therefore, the editorial team is highly committed to intensifying the interaction with the optics community and diversifying the scope of the journal by involving new Board Members. Celebrate the journal's anniversary with us! Your support as a reviewer and dedication to the journal as an author are the best presents Advanced Optical Materials may wish for. Warmest season's greatings from the Editorial team of Advanced Optical Materials
