Additive Manufacturing Letters is a highly selective peer-reviewed journal focused on rapid time-to-first-decision for short-format manuscripts describing early stage, emerging and/or ground-breaking research in the field of additive manufacturing. The preferred length of manuscripts is 5000 words without counting references or the abstract. Submissions will be provided with a final decision targeted for completion within 4 weeks of either: (a) conditional acceptance with a single minor revision; or (b) rejection.Additive manufacturing technologies are becoming widely adopted in industry and academia as disruptive new end-use products are designed and manufactured. Motivated by the need for a short-format, fast-publication journal, this provides a unique publication outlet for additive manufacturing researchers, engineers and materials scientists in academia and industry. The journal is agnostic to application areas but all work must be related to additive manufacturing as defined by the ISO/ASTM 52900 standards.The journal covers a wide scope, comprising early research on new processes, design paradigms, materials systems, and applications in the field of additive manufacturing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:Advances in additive manufacturing processes (as defined by ISO/ASTM 52900)Design for additive manufacturing focusing on:Complex geometries,Multi-material structures,Lattice / cellular structures,Topology optimization, andActive structures.New high-performance material systems including:Novel materials,Meta-materials, andMultiple materials in one process.Simulation and modelingNondestructive evaluationFunctional 3D structures with electronics, sensors, energy storage, etc.Hybrid manufacturing with both additive and conventional manufacturingBiomedical applicationsAerospace applicationsIndustrial applications (excluding case studies)Focused literature reviews - short overviews of emerging topics

Advanced Engineering Informatics

ISSN: 1474-0346
5 Year impact factor: 8.2
Impact factor: 8

The science of supporting knowledge-intensive activitiesAdvanced computing methods and related technologies are changing the way engineers interact with the information infrastructure. Explicit knowledge representation formalisms and new reasoning techniques are no longer the sole territory of computer science. For knowledge-intensive tasks in engineering, a new philosophy and body of knowledge called Engineering Informatics is emerging.Advanced Engineering Informatics solicits research papers with particular emphases both on 'knowledge' and 'engineering applications'. As an international Journal, original papers typically:• Report progress in the engineering discipline of applying methods of engineering informatics. • Have engineering relevance and help provide the scientific base to make engineering decision-making more reliable, spontaneous and creative. • Contain novel research that demonstrates the science of supporting knowledge-intensive engineering tasks. • Validate the generality, power and scalability of new methods through vigorous evaluation, preferably both qualitatively and quantitatively.In addition, the Journal welcomes high quality review articles that summarise, compare, and evaluate methodologies and representations that are proposed for the field of engineering informatics. Similarly, summaries and comparisons of full-scale applications are welcomed, particularly those where scientific shortcomings have hindered success. Typically, such papers have expanded literature reviews and discussion of findings that reflect mastery of the current body of knowledge and propose novel additions to contemporary research.Papers missing explicit representation and use of knowledge, such as those describing soft computing techniques, mathematical optimization methods, pattern recognition techniques, and numerical computation methods, do not normally qualify for publication in the Journal. Papers must illustrate contributions using examples of automating and supporting knowledge intensive tasks in artifacts-centered engineering fields such as mechanical, manufacturing, architecture, civil, electrical, transportation, environmental, and chemical engineering. Papers that report application of an established method to a new engineering subdomain will qualify only if they convincingly demonstrate noteworthy new power, generality or scalability in comparison with previously reported validation results. Finally, papers that discuss software engineering issues only are not in the scope of this journal.

Annual Reviews in Control

ISSN: 1367-5788
5 Year impact factor: 10.5
Impact factor: 7.3

The field of Control is changing very fast now with technology-driven “societal grand challenges” and with the deployment of new digital technologies. Indeed, increasingly both economic developments and societal needs depend upon collections of diverse systems working together to provide needed services, comfort, health, safety, and security. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for methodological and technical approaches which allow multiple, independent, heterogeneous systems to interoperate cooperatively providing broader capabilities than available from individual systems. Such considerations apply in many different domains including transportation, health care, energy and water management, smart cities, defense and security, social services, manufacturing systems, supply chains and more. The design of such systems requires understanding the joint dynamics of computers, software, networks, physical, chemical, biological processes and human-in-the-loop.The aim of Annual Reviews in Control is to provide comprehensive and visionary views of the field, by publishing the following types of review articles: Survey Article: Review papers on main methodologies or technical advances adding considerable technical value to the state of the art. Note that papers which purely rely on mechanistic searches and lack comprehensive analysis providing a clear contribution to the field will be rejected.Vision Article: Cutting-edge and emerging topics with visionary perspective on the future of the field or how it will bridge multiple disciplines, andTutorial research Article: Fundamental guides for future studies.For more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), visit their homepage at http://www.ifac-control.org.

Published by CIRP, The International Academy for Production EngineeringThe CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology (CIRP-JMST) publishes fundamental papers on manufacturing processes, production equipment and automation, product design, manufacturing systems and production organisations up to the level of the production networks, including all the related technical, human and economic factors. Preference is given to contributions describing research results whose feasibility has been demonstrated either in a laboratory or in the industrial praxis. CIRP Members and leading experts are equally encouraged to submit case studies and review papers on specific issues in manufacturing science and technology. The review papers need to be authored by the leading experts with well-established expertise in the field.A typical journal article is authored by the researcher and their supervisor. A paper can also be co-authored with another researcher or institution, but the number of authors typically does not exceed 4-5 people who directly contributed to the research. Others who indirectly contributed (e.g., through editing, conducting experiments, or providing funding) can be acknowledged, but should not be listed as authors.The Journal has been established by CIRP, The International Academy for Production Engineering to meet the needs above. In addition the CIRP has appointed an Editorial Board of Fellows of the Academy which forms a team of highly recognised international experts in the field.The intention is to establish a forum for publishing the best, most innovative research in the field and to this end the journal will publish both in-depth versions of the best papers from CIRP conferences, whilst at the same time, welcoming original contributions from authors worldwide. The main goal is to contribute to the further development of the Science and Technology of Manufacturing which is of fundamental importance for the future. list.
