Engineering Failure Analysis provides an essential reference for analysing and preventing engineering failures, emphasising the investigation of the failure mechanisms, the identification of the failure's root causes, and the proposal of preventive actions to avoid new failures. The journal publishes:

Comprehensive critical reviews on failure mechanisms or failure analysis.

In-depth research papers investigating failure mechanisms.

Failure analysis of engineering components, structures or systems based on material characterisation methods and numerical simulations.

Authors must read the guide to authors and provide:

A novelty statement carefully addressing the following questions:

How does your submission fit the journal's scope?

Failure Analysis papers ideally deal with investigating failure mechanisms, identifying the failure's root cause, and proposing corrective actions to prevent new failures. Why should your research be considered for publication in Engineering Failure Analysis?

What is your submission's novelty to the international literature on failure analysis?

How does your submission relate to other papers published in Engineering Failure Analysis in recent years?

A list of three international experts to act as reviewers.

A manuscript with the following structure (except for review papers): 1- Introduction; 2- Materials and methods; 3- Theory/calculation (optional); 4- Results; 5- Discussion; 6- Conclusions and preventive actions.

Supply the keywords from EFA's keyword list. The keywords should be written in the following order: (1) the field of engineering (mandatory); (2) the name of the component or system (mandatory); (3) the component material (mandatory); (4) the component manufacturing process (optional); (5) the principal methodology (mandatory); (6) primary failure mechanism (mandatory); (7) the leading root cause (mandatory); (8) the main preventive actions (mandatory). Papers that lack significant novelty or are not following the journal's scope or guidelines will be rejected.
