As of September 2013, our Editor-in-Chief since 1988, Professor Aran S. Mujumdar, will move until the end of 2013 to the esteemed Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department of The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology in Kowloon, Hong Kong. With this move, the 13-year location of the center of gravity of drying R&D will move only a short distance from Singapore but remain in East Asia for a while before moving back to Canada, where it had been located continuously from 1975 until 2000. This is a direct effect of globalization, of course. From the bottom of the list as contributor to archival drying literature among some 50 countries, Singapore rose to among the top-3 position for nearly 13 years while Professor Mujumdar was with the Mechanical Engineering Department at NUS. As Prof. Mujumdar is the world's top contributor to archival drying literature and the principal mentor of most active drying researchers around the globe, this should come as no surprise, however. Singapore will now move back to its original rank in drying R&D.

Mujumdar教授将任职至2013年底，直至香港科技大学著名的化学与生物分子工程系。通过此举，干燥研发中心的重心为13年，距新加坡仅一小段距离，但在东亚停留了一段时间，之后又回到了加拿大（从1975年到2000年一直在此设点）。当然，这是全球化的直接影响。在大约50个国家/地区中，档案干燥文献的贡献排在最后，新加坡上升了近13年的前三名，而Mujumdar教授则在国大机械工程系任职。由于Mujumdar教授是档案干燥文献的世界最大贡献者，也是全球最活跃的干燥研究者的主要导师，因此，这不足为奇。新加坡现在将在干燥研发方面回到原来的位置。
