A S 2017 is drawing to a close, I am delighted to report that TVCG is in an excellent state and to announce that the 2016 2-year impact factor of TVCG rose to 2.840, which is the highest of its impact factors since its inception. The number of submissions has been steadily growing over the years. In 2016, TVCG received 388 new submissions, which is the largest number of submissions in a single year in the history of the journal. By the end of November 2017, the number of new submissions reached
more » ... 385 (not including those for the special issues) and, by the end of 2017, we expect TVCG to reach a record high number of submissions in a single year. We have continued expanding the TVCG editorial board with the appointment of eleven new associate editors in 2017, thereby replacing the four associate editors who "graduated" in the same year. The number of editorial board members in the last three years has increased by more than 40 percent, thereby promoting gender diversity and maintaining a balanced geographical distribution.
