Journal of Manufacturing Processes
Published by SMEManufacturing is undergoing major transformation due to the unforeseen challenges arising from the current trend of miniaturization, the emergence of new materials and the growing interaction between biologists and engineers to learn more from nature and living objects.Traditionall... a "top-down" approach has been used in manufacturing. Recently, engineers and scientists have begun exploring "bottom-up" approaches for manufacturing today's highly complex products. Further, these emerging processes are aimed to improve process efficiency and product quality.The aim of the Journal of Manufacturing Processes (JMP) is to exchange current and future directions of manufacturing processes research, development and implementation, and to publish archival scholarly literature with a view to advancing state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and encouraging innovation for developing new and efficient processes. The journal will also publish from other research communities for rapid communication of innovative new concepts. Special-topic issues on emerging technologies and invited papers will also be published.Papers relevant to the scope of JMP include, but are not limited to, the following areas:• Meso/micro/nano fabrication, including imprint lithography. • Advanced manufacturing processes, including mechanical, chemical and thermal processes. • Welding, joining and assembly at micro and macro scales. • Rapid prototyping, rapid manufacturing and repair, stereolithography and other 3-D fabrication techniques that can use optical projection. • Advanced embossing, casting, forming and molding processes at all scales. • Continuum and subcontinuum process modeling and simulation. • Manufacturing process monitoring, control and automation. • Tribology and wear issues relevant to manufacturing processes.The Journal of Manufacturing Processes (JMP) is an official journal of SME, in cooperation with the North American Manufacturing Research Institution of SME (NAMRI/SME).

Computer-Aided Design
Computer-Aided Design is a leading international journal that provides academia and industry with key papers on research and developments in computational foundations and methods of design. The term "design" is to be understood broadly to encompass conceptualization, synthesis, realization, and evolution of artifacts, processes, and systems (both natural and artificial).Computer... Design invites papers reporting new research, as well as novel or particularly significant applications, within a wide range of topics, spanning all stages of design from concept creation to manufacture and beyond. Contributions are welcome from all disciplines and application areas, provided that they have a significant geometric, topological, spatial, or configuration design content, and present developments likely to be of interest to a broad spectrum of researchers, educators, and practitioners of computer-aided design. In this context, examples of relevant topics include but are not limited to:Foundational theories, frameworks, methodologies, and standardsMathematica... models, representations, and algorithms for shapes, solids, structures, and assembliesMaterial, behavior, and physical modelingConceptual design and inventionUncertainty and imprecision in computer-aided designMulti-scale modeling and design of shape and material structuresSystem level design and model-based systems engineeringProgramma... subtractive, additive, and hybrid manufacturingGenerat... design, shape, topology, and material optimizationComputat... planning, fabrication, and inspectionDiscretiza... and meshing algorithmsData acquisition, model recognition and reconstructionRepres... conversions and interoperabilityAppl... of AI in design, including neural networks and machine learningDesign ontologies, grammars, languages, and semanticsData driven modeling and synthesisAdvanced support of manufacturing and downstream activitiesTechnologi... in support of digital factory and digital twin conceptsUser interfaces, system interfaces, and human-computer interactionDesign databases, knowledge repositories, object libraries and retrievalSpecific applications and significant benchmarks of computer-aided designTypes of Papers:Research papers: report significant research and development results, describe the relevant theoretical foundations and methodology, and present workable algorithms and give examples taken from real world applications, stressing the significance of the approach being presented.Applicatio... papers: describe complex and pioneering applications of CAD concepts, methods and tools in practice, present significant results that extend the disciplinary knowledge and/or analyze the application in a way that is likely to stimulate and influence further research.Survey papers: critically analyze the current state of knowledge in a given field of CAD, summarize and organize recent research results in a novel way, derive new insights and deepen understanding of those working in the field, and propose possible topics, orientations and approaches for future research and development.Technica... notes: respond to material published in the journal or closely related topics, repair a flaw in the definition and approach or stimulate further thinking, or provide additional technical details on a CAD theory, technology, methodology, product or application.Dataset papers: discuss creation, documentation, and critical assessment of data sets, repositories, and their uses supporting research and practice in all areas of computer-aided design. An algorithmic contribution is not required for a dataset paper, but the dataset itself must be made freely usable and accessible for research purposes. Dataset papers will go through the same rigorous review process and will be evaluated based on their novelty, impact, and presentation. Accessibility, privacy, and ethics are also important issues that will be considered by the reviewers and editors.

Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing
The emphasis of the journal Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing is on disseminating the application of research to the development of new or improved industrially-relevan... robotics, manufacturing technologies, and innovative manufacturing strategies. Preference is given to papers describing original research that includes both theory and experimental validation. Comprehensive review papers on topical issues related to robotics and manufacturing will also be considered. Papers on conventional machining processes, modelling and simulation, supply chain management, and resource optimisation, will generally be considered out of scope, as there are other more appropriate journals in these areas. Overly theoretical or mathematical papers will be directed to other more appropriate journals as well. Original papers are welcomed in the areas of industrial robotics, human-robot collaborative manufacturing, cloud-based manufacturing, cyber-physical production systems, big data analytics in manufacturing, smart mechatronics, machine learning, adaptive and sustainable manufacturing, and other fields involving unique manufacturing technologies.
