   Print or digital, we love to read, but the way that we read has changed a lot over the 37 years
since I was hired by TMS to work on the Journal of Metals. A lot about JOM has changed as
well . . . we had a name change, we migrated from analog to digital production, we designed a
content-rich website for the journal and then modernized, re-modernized, and re-modernized
that site, we ceased in-house publishing and partnered with Springer to put every issue of JOM
within a few-clicks of every corner of the planet, and we went from monthly mailings of issues
with an average of 72 pages to issues with an average of a few hundred pages. JOM has gone
from a feature-rich newsstand magazine format to a predominantly scholarly journal format.
This shift of focus over time is partially attributable to our partnership with Springer, to the
growing necessity in the professional community to publish, to the hard work of countless
