Dear CPM Readers,

As we enter the sixth year of Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM), we wish to thank authors for choosing it to publish their scientific work. We extend our gratitude to our Editorial Board and readers for supporting the dissemination of the journal content, as well as to Springer and the journal production team for their exceptional professionalism. After its first 5 years of existence, CPM has received its first Impact Factor, 2.206, putting it in the top category (Quartile 1) of journals in its field. This is promising news for a relatively new engineering journal.

Best regards, The CPM Editors, Tarek I. Zohdi, Eugenio Oñate and Peter Wriggers.
