Aims & Scope

Tribology Transactions contains experimental and theoretical papers on friction, wear, lubricants, lubrication, materials, machines and moving components, from the macro- to the nano-scale. The papers will be of interest to academic, industrial and government researchers and technologists working in many fields, including: Aerospace, Agriculture & Forest, Appliances, Automotive, Bearings, Biomedical Devices, Condition Monitoring, Engines, Gears, Industrial Engineering, Lubricants, Lubricant Additives, Magnetic Data Storage, Manufacturing, Marine, Materials, MEMs and NEMs, Mining, Power Generation, Metalworking Fluids, Seals, Surface Engineering and Testing and Analysis. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief and, if found suitable for further consideration, are submitted for peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review in single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
