| description | Journal of Metaverse has emerged as a global interdisciplinary platform in 2021 for research on the Metaverse, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain. In a short period, it has attracted contributions from internationally renowned scholars, further solidifying its academic influence. This article aims to critically examine the journal’s trajectory, its publication output over a defined period, and its editorial commitments. We outline the journal’s founding and developmental process, editorial policies, academic impact, and remarkable growth. Additionally, we reaffirm our dedication to advancing innovative research within the journal’s scope while outlining future expectations and strategic directions. Furthermore, we highlight the success story behind the journal’s high-impact publications and its recognition by prestigious indexing services such as Scopus, Web of Science, and DOAJ. The ongoing mission of the Journal of Metaverse is to shape the discourse on the technical and societal implications of the Metaverse and related technologies, enhance research visibility, and guide future innovations in this transformative field. Through this editorial, we seek to contribute to the broader scholarly conversation and share insights with publishers, authors, researchers, editors, and relevant stakeholders, fostering further collaboration and advancement in the field. |
