We are pleased to announce that Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art (VCIBA) is now included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Web of Science. All articles published after 1 January 2018 will be included in the database, and will therefore be searchable in Web of Science soon.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the authors, reviewers, readers and editorial board members for their continuous support to the journal, and making this exciting development possible.

The journal Editor-in-Chief Prof. Jie Tian also wrote a message to the public.
