Journal Guide

The International Journal on Interactive Design and Manufacturing (IJIDeM) covers interdisciplinary research, technical issues and/or original industrial implementations related to the development, handling and designing of high-realistic multi-sensorial virtual prototypes for improving decision-making in product design and manufacturing. The scope of IJIDeM includes a variety of techniques such as: describing industrial problems to identify significant knowledge and variables, advanced modelling of design and manufacturing problems, virtually exploring solution spaces, building of high-realistic multi-sensorial simulators, implementing user centred innovative methods. IJIDeM will cover cutting-edge research in the fields of Mechatronics, Design and Manufacturing sciences, Numerical and Mechanical engineering, Virtual Reality aimed at industrial innovation.

The majority of Maney journals are published online via the ingentaconnect platform, with one exception published online via HighWire.Access to the full text of each volume is available free of charge to subscribers with a paid-up subscription to that volume. (Some exceptions apply.) Subscribers are also given access in perpetuity to all previous volumes to which they held a paid-up subscription.For non-subscribers, there is a standard price for all articles and issues available online within each journal. All articles and issues from our archives that are more than 10 years old have a significantly reduced rate – special rates also apply in some instances for special issues and supplements.All prices are indicated next to the article or issue hosted online.

International Polymer Processing, the journal of the Polymer Processing Society, is a discussion forum for the world-wide community of engineers and scientists in the broad and innovative field of polymer processing.International Polymer Processing covers research and industrial application in the very specific areas of designing polymer products, processes, processing machinery and equipment. The journal publishes original innovative articles by international experts.

When it is possible to determine governing equation(s), shape(s) and size(s) of the domain(s), boundary and initial conditions, material properties of the media contained in the field, and internal sources and external forces or inputs, then the analysis determining the unknown field is considered mathematically well-posed and solvable. If any of these elements are unknown or unavailable, then the field problem becomes incompletely defined (ill-posed) and is of an indirect (or inverse) type.Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering provides an international forum for the discussion of conceptual ideas and methods for the practical solution of applied inverse problems. The Journal aims to address the needs of practising engineers, mathematicians and researchers and to serve as a focal point for the quick communication of ideas. Topics include:Shape design: determination of shape, size and location of domains (shape identification or optimization in acoustics, aerodynamics, electromagnets, etc; detection of voids and cracks).Material properties: determination of physical properties of media.Boundary values/initial values: identification of the proper boundary conditions and/or initial conditions (tomographic problems involving X-rays, ultrasonics, optics, thermal sources etc; determination of thermal, stress/strain, electromagnetic, fluid flow etc. boundary conditions on inaccessible boundaries; determination of initial chemical composition, etc.).Forces and sources: determination of the unknown external forces or inputs acting on a domain (structural dynamic modification and reconstruction) and internal concentrated and distributed sources/sinks (sources of heat, noise, electromagnetic radiation, etc.).Governing equations: inference of analytic forms of partial and/or integral equations governing the variation of measured field quantities. Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering is a unique source of information in this new field that will offer researchers the opportunity to publish their ideas in a single journal. Papers should provide non-trivial examples of practical applications. Multidisciplinary applied papers are particularly welcome.

Ionics is publishing original results in the fields of science and technology of ionic motion. This includes theoretical, experimental and practical work on electrolytes, electrode, ionic/electronic interfaces, corrosion, galvanic cells, e.g. for thermodynamic and kinetic studies, batteries, fuel cells, sensors and electrochromics. Fast solid ionic conductors are presently providing new opportunities in view of several advantages, in addition to conventional liquid electrolytes.  In addition to regular length papers, short communications (“Letters”) are being published to allow rapid information of the scientific community about important findings, without need of extensive descriptions.  Depending on the progress in various areas of Ionics, also summary reports and reviews will be considered for publication.  Publishing:
