  • Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference

    • ISSN: 0378-3758
    The Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference offers itself as a multifaceted and all-inclusive bridge between classical aspects of statistics and probability, and the emerging interdisciplinary aspects that have a potential of revolutionizing the subject. While we maintain our traditional strength in statistical inference, design, classical probability, and large sample methods, we also have a far more inclusive and broadened scope to keep up with the new problems that confront us as statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists, such as clustering, post model selection inference, deep learning and random networks.We publish high quality articles in all branches of statistics, probability, discrete mathematics, machine learning, and bioinformatics. We also especially welcome well written and up to date review articles on fundamental themes of statistics, probability, machine learning, and general biostatistics. Thoughtful letters to the editors, interesting problems in need of a solution, and short notes carrying an element of elegance or beauty are equally welcome.We want to serve as the broadest international platform for high quality research on every aspect of our field, traditional and cutting edge. The quality and the breadth of our editorial board reflects that singular priority.
  • Analytic Methods in Accident Research

    • ISSN: 2213-6657
    Analytic Methods in Accident Research publishes manuscripts that deal with the development and/or application of innovative statistical and econometric methods to the study of vehicle crashes and other transportation and non-transportation-r... accidents. The intent of the journal is to demonstrate how such innovative methodological approaches can be used to provide new insights and quantification of the factors that affect the frequency and severity of accidents - thus providing new guidance for the implementation of appropriate countermeasures. While the focus of the journal is on the underlying analytic approach, acceptable application areas include all elements of transportation safety (road, pedestrian, air, rail, and water safety), construction safety, and any area of study where the unintended consequences of human behavior, machine failures or system failures result in property damage and/or bodily injury.

  • International Journal of Impact Engineering

    • ISSN: 0734-743X
    The International Journal of Impact Engineering, established in 1983 publishes original research findings related to the response of structures, components and materials subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Areas relevant to the journal encompass the following general topics and those associated with them:Behaviour and failure of structures and materials under impact and blast loadingSystems for protection and absorption of impact and blast loadingTerminal ballisticsDynamic behaviour and failure of materials including plasticity and fractureStress wavesStructural crashworthinessHigh-... mechanical and forming processesImpact, blast and high-rate loading/measurement techniques and their applicationsManuscri... submitted for publication will be subjected to stringent peer review and assessed for their contribution to scientific understanding of phenomena and the response of structures and materials to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Work resulting in fundamental insights that benefit engineering design to accommodate high-rate loading, is relevant to the journal. Well-designed and well-documented experimental studies that advance knowledge in the response of materials and structures subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading are of relevance and interest. However, they should be accompanied by analysis of the experimental data and appropriate conclusions. The incorporation of analytical modelling and/or numerical simulations to support the experimental findings, will enhance the depth and quality of the research reported and make it more compelling. Manuscripts that focus primarily on mathematics, materials science or computation, with little contribution to the scope of impact dynamics described above, as well as those of a purely descriptive nature lacking in analysis, will be declined. Papers comprising largely parametric studies (e.g. using commercial software), unaccompanied by convincing validation and discussion of implications or applications of results generated, as well as those on novel computational techniques without comparison with established analysis or test data, are also not solicited. In all numerical studies, it is essential to demonstrate that the material parameters used in the simulations truly represent the actual physical properties of the material investigated. Consequently, sufficient description/discussi... on how the material parameters were obtained, together with any assumptions, would be necessary. The numerical modelling must also include sufficient information to enable third parties to repeat the simulations. Manuscripts comprising primarily the following content should be submitted to other journals that are more directly related to them: (1) case studies or descriptions of engineering designs subjected to impact or blast loading; (2) dynamic testing that generates experimental data without in-depth analysis; and (3) work focused on defence or military technology. Papers in the International Journal of Impact Engineering should generally be of interest to those in the aeronautical, civil, mechanical, materials, naval, nuclear, ocean, offshore, and transportation engineering fields, as well as those in other science and engineering branches that deal with various aspects of impact, blast and high-rate loading.Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Manuscripts describing research employing ML or AI techniques must show clearly how they contribute to advancement in impact engineering and a deeper understanding of the mechanics or physics governing the topic investigated. Authors should outline the AI model’s architecture and describe the training procedure. To ensure reproducibility by others, the training datasets should also be made accessible to IJIE readers, either as supplementary material or via an open-access repository.Companion papers - Authors should submit manuscripts that can be reviewed on their own, without assuming that related earlier or subsequent submissions will be published and available for reference. Authors of companion papers should inform the Editor of the reasons why they wish to publish their work in parts.Short CommunicationsA Short Communication is a brief paper for rapid dissemination of either noteworthy progress related to a particular problem, or new findings on a topic within the Aims and Scope of the Journal. Such articles should be original and impactful to journal readers involved in the field of the article. Author(s) should refer to their published Short Communication and incorporate substantial new content if they subsequently wish to submit a full-length research paper based on expansion of the Short Communication.Before submitting a manuscript to the Journal, please note the following - Publication in this Journal is very competitive. Only high-quality manuscripts that present research findings of sufficient novelty or significance within the Aim and Scope of the Journal and follow the Guide for Authors will be considered. Otherwise the manuscript may be directly rejected by the editor and not be sent for external review. Please carefully consider these criteria before submitting your manuscript to the Journal to save both reviewer's and editor's efforts and time.
