• Eric MacDonald shared the editorial leadership through the journal's first decade and is on record as the editor-in-chief who took full responsibility for the review process of individual papers（Eric MacDonald）在该刊首个十年间共同主持编辑部，并留有以主编身份对单篇论文评审负全责的记录。
• Its cadence widened from six volumes in 2019 to twelve in 2022 and eighteen a year from 2024, with papers carrying article numbers rather than issue numbers and output near four hundred items a year卷数由 2019 年的 6 卷增至 2022 年的 12 卷，2024 年起每年 18 卷，论文只用文章编号而不用期号，年发文量约 400 篇。
• Its Journal Impact Factor was 10.998 in 2021 and 11.632 in 2022 before settling at 11.1 in 2024 and 11.3 in 2025影响因子 2021 年为 10.998，2022 年为 11.632，其后 2024 年为 11.1，2025 年为 11.3。
• In the current edition it ranks in the first quartile of Engineering, Manufacturing at fifth of seventy-one titles and in the first quartile of Materials Science, Multidisciplinary, with a CiteScore of 21.1在最新版中，该刊于工程制造类以 5/71 的名次居 Q1，于材料科学综合类亦居 Q1，（CiteScore）为 21.1。
• Access is hybrid rather than fully open, and just over half of recent papers appear in open form, about 335 of 639 in 2024 and 211 of 412 in 2025该刊采混合开放获取而非完全开放，近年过半论文以开放形式发表，2024 年 639 篇中 335 篇、2025 年 412 篇中 211 篇。
