Journal Guide

Frequency: 12 issues per year.Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering covers all aspects of microelectromechanical structures, devices, and systems, as well as micromechanics and micromechatronics. The journal focuses on original work in fabrication and integration technologies, on the micro- and nano-scale. The journal aims to highlight the link between new fabrication technologies and their capacity to create novel devices. Original work in microengineering and nanoengineering is also reported. Such work is defined as applications of these fabrication and integration technologies to structures in which key attributes of the devices or systems depend on specific micro- or nano-scale features. Such applications span the physical, chemical, electrical and biological realms. New fabrication and integration techniques for both silicon and non-silicon materials are reported. Relevant modelling papers in micro- and nanoengineering are reported where supported by experimental data. The journal also covers integration of interface electronics with micro- and nanoengineered systems, as well as vacuum microelectronics, microfabricated electrically passive elements, and other micro- or nanoengineering-enabled electrical devices.A submission to Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering must be the original work of the author(s) and must not be published elsewhere or be under consideration for another publication in its submitted or a substantially similar form in any language. Contributions in the following categories may be submitted.

The journal addresses the dramatic pace of progress in the design and synthesis, characterization and property evaluation of porous materials for catalysis, separations and sensors. Coverage includes: Synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation Tailoring by physical and chemical treatments Fundamental properties, including liquid-solid, solid-solid phase transitions in pores, effects of confinement on gases, liquids and organic molecules, adsorption, ion exchange and sieving, molecular sieving, and more Applications including optical, electronic devices, catalysis, waste disposal, selective separation and fixation of hazardous and radioactive ions and hazardous organic species, and more Offers the contributions of chemists, materials scientists, ceramists, c

The Journal of Porous Media publishes original full-length research articles (and technical notes) in a wide variety of areas related to porous media studies, such as mathematical modeling, numerical and experimental techniques, industrial and environmental heat and mass transfer, conduction, convection, radiation, particle transport and capillary effects, reactive flows, deformable porous media, biomedical applications, and mechanics of the porous substrate. Emphasis will be given to manuscripts that present novel findings pertinent to these areas. The journal will also consider publication of state-of-the-art reviews. Manuscripts applying known methods to previously solved problems or providing results in the absence of scientific motivation or application will not be accepted. Submitted articles should contribute to the understanding of specific scientific problems or to solution techniques that are useful in applications. Papers that link theory with computational practice to provide insight into the processes are welcome.

The Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology is the premier publication for the highest-quality research and interpretive reports on the design, analysis, fabrication, construction, inspection, operation, and failure prevention of pressure vessels, piping, pipelines, power and heating boilers, pumps, valves, and other pressure-bearing components, as well as the nondestructive evaluation of critical components in mechanical engineering applications. Not only does the Journal cover all topics dealing with the design and analysis of pressure vessels, piping, and components but it also contains discussions of their related codes and standards.

The Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites publishes original research on a broad range of today's reinforced plastics and composites, including areas in: constituent materials, properties and performance, analysis and design, processing and fabrication, application. In addition, reports on special topics are regularly included such as recycling, environmental effects, novel materials, computer-aided design, predictive modelling, and "smart" composite materials.

The Journal of Sandwich Structures and Materials is an international peer reviewed journal that provides a means of communication to fellow engineers and scientists by providing an archival record of developments in the science, technology, and professional practices of sandwich construction throughout the world.

The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.

This journal offers optional funded open access. Click here to read more...The Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design provides a forum for work relating to the measurement and analysis of strain that is appropriate to engineering design and practice."Since launching in 1965, The Journal of Strain Analysis has been a collegiate effort, dedicated to providing exemplary service to our authors. We welcome contributions related to analytical, experimental, and numerical techniques for the analysis and/or measurement of stress and/or strain, or studies of relevant material properties and failure modes. Our international Editorial Board contains experts in all of these fields and is keen to encourage papers on novel techniques and innovative applications.".

JSFE is a publishing output for the latest research and innovations relating to the behaviour of structures and structural materials in response to high temperatures.

This flagship ASTM journal is a multi-disciplinary forum for the applied sciences and engineering. Published bimonthly, JOTE presents new technical information, derived from field and laboratory testing, on the performance, quantitative characterization, and evaluation of materials. Papers present new methods and data along with critical evaluations; report users' experience with test methods and results of interlaboratory testing and analysis; and stimulate new ideas in the fields of testing and evaluation.Major topic areas are fatigue and fracture, mechanical testing, and fire testing. Also publishes review articles, technical notes, research briefs and commentary. All papers are peer-reviewed.

One of the most respected archival journals in the field of tribology, the Journal of Tribology publishes over 100 outstanding technical articles of permanent interest to the tribology community annually, and attracts articles by tribologists from around the world. The journal features a mix of experimental, numerical, and theoretical articles dealing with all aspects of the field, including, but not limited to: friction and wear, fluid film lubrication, elastohydrodynamic lubrication, surface properties and characterization, contact mechanics, magnetic recordings, tribological systems, seals, bearing design and technology, gears, metalworking, lubricants, and artificial joints. In addition to being of interest to engineers and other scientists doing research in the field, the information published in the journal is also of great importance to engineers who design or use mechanical components such as bearings, gears, seals, magnetic recording heads and disks, or prosthetic joints, or who are involved with manufacturing processes.

The purpose of the Journal of Vibration and Acoustics is to serve as a vehicle for the communication of original research results of permanent interest in all areas of vibration and acoustics. Papers published by the journal are full-length Research Papers of considerable depth. The journal also presents Technical Briefs, which are intended to serve as a means for the rapid communication of recent developments in an abridged form.
