Year III: The NDT – Journal of Non-Destructive Testing 2025end-of-year editorial

The year 2025 marked a defining stage for NDT—Journal of Non-Destructive Testing, consolidating its position as a global platform for advancing non-destructive evaluation science and technology. It will be remembered as the year of the journal’s title update [1], a strategic move aimed at strengthening identity, improving discoverability, and ensuring clarity of purpose for researchers and practitioners worldwide. This initiative aligns with the foundational objectives of the ICNDT Strategic Plan [2], which advocates for global harmonisation and greater visibility of NDT to drive the scientific innovation and multidisciplinary research essential for global safety.
