The International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing accepts original contributions on all aspects of precision engineering and manufacturing. The journal specific focus areas include, but are not limited to: - Precision Machining Processes - Manufacturing Systems - Robotics and Automation - Machine Tools - Design and Materials - Biomechanical Engineering - Nano/Micro Technology - Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing - Measurements and Control Surveys and reviews will also be planned in consultation with the Editorial Board.

The mission of the Flexible Services and Manufacturing Journal, formerly known as the International Journal of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, is to publish original, high-quality research papers in the field of services and manufacturing management. All aspects in this field including the interface between engineering and management, the design and analysis of service and manufacturing systems as well as operational planning and decision support are covered. The journal seeks papers that have a clear focus on the applicability in the real business world including all kinds of services and manufacturing industries, e.g. in logistics, transportation, health care, manufacturing-based services, production planning and control, and supply chain management. Flexibility should be understood in its widest sense as a system’s ability to respond to changes in the environment through improved decision making and business development procedures and enabling IT solutions.

The International Journal of Design Creativity and Innovation is an international publication that provides a forum for discussing the nature and potential of creativity and innovation in design from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Design creativity and innovation is truly an interdisciplinary academic research field that will interest and stimulate researchers of engineering design, industrial design, architecture, art, and similar areas. The journal aims to not only promote existing research disciplines but also pioneer a new one that lies in the intermediate area between the domains of systems engineering, information technology, computer science, social science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and related fields. The journal covers, but is not restricted to, the following topics: ·Theories on Design Creativity and Innovation ·Cognition of Design Creativity ·Innovative Process ·Inventive Process ·Analogical Reasoning for Design Creativity and Innovation ·Design Synthesis ·Method and Tools for Design Creativity and Innovation ·Representation of Design Creativity and Innovation ·Education for Design Creativity and Innovation ·Concept Generation and Inspiration.

The aim of the journal is to stimulate and record an international forum for disseminating knowledge on the advances, developments and applications of manufacturing engineering, technology and applied sciences with a focus on critical reviews of developments in manufacturing and emerging trends in this field. The journal intends to establish a specific focus on reviews of developments of key core topics and on the emerging technologies concerning manufacturing engineering, technology and applied sciences, the aim of which is to provide readers with rapid and easy access to definitive and authoritative knowledge and research-backed opinions on future developments. The scope includes, but is not limited to critical reviews and outstanding original research papers on the advances, developments and applications of: Materials for advanced manufacturing (Metals, Polymers, Glass, Ceramics, Composites, Nano-materials, etc.) and recycling, Material processing methods and technology (Machining, Forming/Shaping, Casting, Powder Metallurgy, Laser technology, Joining, etc.), Additive/rapid manufacturing methods and technology, Tooling and surface-engineering technology (fabrication, coating, heat treatment, etc.), Micro-manufacturing methods and technology, Nano-manufacturing methods and technology, Advanced metrology, instrumentation, quality assurance, testing and inspection, Mechatronics for manufacturing automation, Manufacturing machinery and manufacturing systems, Process chain integration and manufacturing platforms, Sustainable manufacturing and Life-cycle analysis, Industry case studies involving applications of the state-of-the-art manufacturing methods, technology and systems.

Advanced Manufacturing-Polymer & Composites Science is a leading international peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, clinical updates, and reviews indexed in Clarivate Web of Science (SCIE) with Q3 quartile ranking.

IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology publishes research and application articles on modeling, design, building blocks, technical infrastructure, and analysis underpinning electronic, photonic and MEMS packaging, in addition to new developments in passive components, electrical contacts and connectors, thermal management, and device reliability; as well as the manufacture of electronics parts and assemblies, with broad coverage of design, factory modeling, assembly methods, quality, product robustness, and design-for-environment.

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 Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material. The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations. All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.

The International Journal of Simulation Modelling (IJSIMM) provides a global forum for the publication of all forms of simulation modelling research work in academic institutions, in industry or in consultancy. The editors of the IJSIMM are searching primarily for original, high-quality, truly insightful, theoretical and application-oriented research papers dealing with simulation modelling, mainly within discrete-event simulation field in production engineering or industrial engineering.
