The IEEE International Magnetics Conference 2017 Publication Chairs’ Preface.

On behalf of the Publications Committee, it is our pleasure to present selected papers from the Intermag 2017 Conference, which was held in Dublin, Ireland, from April 24–28, 2017. The outstanding quality of the conference is reflected by the scientific and technical quality of the papers presented in this special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. The Publications Committee received 654 manuscripts which were submitted for peer review and possible publication in the present volume. In order to be considered for publication, the manuscripts were required to meet rigorous criteria for novelty in applied and basic magnetism. Following the standard IEEE review process, each paper was reviewed by at least two anonymous referees, and in the end, 425 papers were accepted for publication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
