JSM) is a quarterly publication dedicated to presenting metallurgical processes and related research aimed at improving the sustainability of metal-producing industries, with a particular emphasis on materials recovery, reuse, and recycling. Coverage also includes novel metallurgical processes and related research that lead to operations of a smaller environmental footprint. In addition, the editorial scope encompasses new techniques, as well as optimization of existing processes, to include utilization, treatment, and management of metallurgically generated residues.

Stay Safe: Protect Yourself Against Fraud
In recent weeks, we’ve noticed at least one fraudulent website selling housing and registration in the name of the TMS 2020 Annual Meeting & Exhibition (TMS2020). Our members are reminded to protect themselves against such scams by only conducting business through the official TMS website located at
www.tms.org and the official TMS2020 website at
www.tms.org/TMS2020.
Please note that authors, potential meeting attendees, and exhibitors may occasionally receive e-mails from
ProgramMaster (programmaster.org), our abstract collection and proceedings management system;
onPeak (onpeak.com), the official housing provider of the TMS Annual Meeting; or
Corcoran Expositions (corcexpo.com), our exhibit partners. Each of these entities works with TMS to provide services to annual meeting attendees and can be trusted. If you’re not certain a message is legitimate, go straight to the source and take action through the
www.tms.org/TMS2020 website. All of the relevant housing and exhibit information is also available there.
TMS works hard to protect the privacy of its members’ information. (
View our privacy policy to learn more.) We encourage you to exercise caution, as well, and to conduct all of your transactions through our official websites.
