3/1/2009 I had mentioned in my April 2008 editorial that design innovation papers are both important for JMD and challenging to author and to review. We have been fortunate that we now have a special team of associate editors comprising Diann Brei, Mary Frecker, and Alex Slocum, who have committed to attending specially to papers on design innovation and devices. I asked then to write a guest editorial sharing with us all their thoughts on how we approach design innovation at JMD. I am very pleased to offer their ideas below along with my thanks for their service and wisdom.
