Journal Guide

Experimental Mechanics, the official journal of the Society for Experimental Mechanics, publishes papers in all areas of the field, including its theoretical and computational analysis. The journal addresses research in design and implementation of novel or enhanced experiments to characterize materials, structures, and systems. Readers will also find articles extending the frontiers of experimental mechanics at both large and small scales. This journal’s coverage extends from research in solid and fluid mechanics to fields at the intersection of disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and biology. The development of new devices and technologies for metrology applications in a wide range of industrial sectors is also covered. In addition to primary research articles, Experimental Mechanics publishes review articles, brief technical notes, and applications articles that discuss important emerging technologies.

Experimental Techniques is a bimonthly interdisciplinary publication of the Society for Experimental Mechanics focusing on the development, application and tutorial of experimental mechanics techniques.The purpose for Experimental Techniques is to promote pedagogical, technical and practical advancements in experimental mechanics while supporting the Society's mission and commitment to interdisciplinary application, research and development, education, and active promotion of experimental methods to:- Increase the knowledge of physical phenomena- Further the understanding of the behavior of materials, structures, and systems- Provide the necessary physical observations necessary to improve and assess new analytical and computational approaches.Experimental Techniques accepts articles that focus on practical applications of experimental mechanics and innovative techniques used to create engineering solutions. This includes, but is not limited to, experimental observations and methods, analytical or computational methods linked to observations of physical phenomena, and non-deterministic analysis of experimental observations. The Editors encourage the submission of articles that describe approaches to education and training in experimental mechanics and structural dynamics.

EML publishes letter-sized articles, as well as invited reviews and articles on topics of special interest. The goal is to have the papers published online within 6-8 weeks upon submission.

EML covers experimental, theoretical, and computational mechanics of processes at all size and time scales. Of particular interest is the progress in mechanics that advances the fields of vital importance to the society, including, but not limited to, health science, energy systems, the environment, food and water, climate, and security.

Among the topical areas of interest are:

• Materials of extreme properties, such as exceptional hardness or softness
• Materials under extreme conditions, such as high temperature and high loading rate
• Stretchable, wearable, or implantable electronics for entertainment or healthcare
• Soft robots in manufacturing, surgery and assisted living
• Robots that crawl, run, swim or fly
• Biomimetics that perceive, act, learn and remember
• Active materials in response to mechanical, chemical, electrical, thermal stimuli

Fibers (ISSN 2079-6439) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes and short communications on the materials science and all other empirical and theoretical studies of fibers, providing a forum for integrating fiber research across many disciplines. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.

Fibers and Polymers, the journal of the Korean Fiber Society, provides you with state-of-the-art research in fiber and polymer science and technology related to developments in the textile industry.
Bridging the gap between fiber science and polymer science, the journal's topics include fiber structure and property, dyeing and finishing, textile processing, and apparel science.   Ranks 9 out of 19 in the ISI category Materials Science, Textiles with an Impact Factor of 0.531.

 Aims:
The international bimonthly journal Fibers and Polymers publishes original research results in the fields of fiber and polymer science & engineering. Founded in the beginning of a new millennium, Fibers and Polymers starts with international readership and authorship, combining into one journal such closely related themes as fiber and polymer technologies. 
Fibers and Polymers is unique because it covers interdisciplinary areas related to fibers, polymers, textiles, apparels, colorants, fiber composites,
