Journal Guide

Research in Nondestructive Evaluation® is the American Society for Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation’s archival research journal. RNDE® contains the results of original research in all areas of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The journal covers experimental and theoretical investigations dealing with the scientific and engineering bases of NDE, its measurement and methodology, and a wide range of applications of materials and structures that relate to the entire life cycle, from manufacture to use and retirement. Illustrative topics include advances in the underlying science of acoustic, thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical and ionizing radiation techniques and their applications to NDE problems. These problems include the nondestructive characterization of a wide variety of material properties and their degradation in service, nonintrusive sensors for monitoring manufacturing and materials processes, new techniques and combinations of techniques for detecting and characterizing hidden discontinuities and distributed damage in materials, standardization concepts and quantitative approaches for advanced NDE techniques, and long-term continuous monitoring of structures and assemblies.

Research on Biomedical Engineering is the official journal of the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering and is dedicated to publishing research in all fields of Biomedical Engineering. In addition, this journal aims to provide educational material and professional updating, as well as serving as a forum for the establishment of developing policies and incorporation of health technologies by the public or private sectors.

Research-Technology Management is the Industrial Research Institute’s award-winning, bimonthly journal focused on the practice of innovation. Its peer-reviewed articles connect theory to practice across the spectrum of technological innovation and innovation management. Since its inception in 1958, the journal has published articles that map the cutting edge in R&D management, illustrate how academic management theory can be applied in the real world, and give R&D leaders the tools to promote innovation throughout their organizations.

As a leading source of knowledge on innovation management, RTM publishes reports on quantitative and qualitative studies, case studies, descriptions of new practical models and paradigms for understanding and fostering innovation, and examples of tools in use. RTM articles cover a wide range of topics in innovation and technology management, including:

• Product development processes and strategy
• R&D portfolio management
• R&D performance metrics
• Management of technical and creative people
• Technology roadmapping
• Strategy and innovation
• Innovation and design, including design thinking
• Innovation and organizational culture
• Innovation and sustainability
• Business model innovation
• Corporate entrepreneurialism and intrapreneuring
• Industry/academic and private/public-sector partnerships
• Globalization and innovation
• Intellectual asset management
• Emerging trends, such as digitalization, additive manufacturing, and other forces reshaping R&D

We also publish several special issues each year, addressing a current or emerging issue in innovation management. We do not publish literature surveys, work that is solely academic in focus or audience, or articles whose primary audience is innovation policy makers rather than R&D leaders.

RTM accepts submissions only via Editorial Manager. All submitted manuscripts are subject to a rigorous initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief. Those found suitable for further consideration are sent for peer review by expert referees; our panel of peer reviewers is made up of both working practitioners and academic specialists. All peer review is double blinded; the final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief.

Queries regarding special issues or submissions can be made by contacting the Managing Editor, MaryAnne M. Gobble ( Gobble@iriweb.org).

The Editors welcome contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal emphasizes the transformation processes involved in a transition toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. Emphasis is upon technological, economic, institutional and policy aspects of specific resource management practices, such as conservation, recycling and resource substitution, and of "systems-wide" strategies, such as resource productivity improvement, the restructuring of production and consumption profiles and the transformation of industry.Contributions may have relevance at regional, national or international scales and may focus at any level of research from individual resources or technologies to whole sectors or systems of interest. Contributors may emphasise any of the aforementioned aspects as well as scientific and methodological issues. However, manuscripts that consider only laboratory experiments, without a discussion of the practical, environmental and economic implications of the presented research, are excluded from publication in the journal.The journal publishes papers, reviews, analyses and case studies on topics, which include:• Transformation of the industrial and societal system towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns, including management, instruments, methods and processes of change.• Information and management systems involving resource status, use and material flows in society.• Innovation processes, tools and methods relating to resource productivity improvement.• Technical, societal, economic, business and policy aspects of strategies to improve the sustainability and productivity of resource use, including strategies for managing resource supply and demand, valorizing waste, lowering energy and material intensities and increasing the serviceability of products.• Substitution of primary resources by renewable or regenerative alternatives, including agricultural and forest resources and wastes.• Material flow analysis and the understanding of resource use and flows in society and the impact on the environment, including resource extraction and waste generation.• Life cycle assessment and management of resources, materials and products to improve resource efficiency and productivity, conserve resources and reduce pollution.• Societal, economic and technological change for improved recovery and reuse of materials and energy from domestic, commercial or industrial waste streams.• Efficient management and use of all resources, including air and water, with regard to the qualitative as well as quantitative aspects of resource use.

Restaurator is the only international periodical specializing exclusively in the conservation of library and archive materials. Articles examine the many important aspects of this subject area, such as technology, practical experience and organization. They also focus on scientific basics: Many articles deal with the development of new preservation techniques and the improvement and better understanding of established methods. The articles are written in English with summaries in English, French and German.By reading Restaurator regularly, librarians, archivists and restorers can keep up to date with the latest research and developments. The editorial committee is made up of experts from well-known institutions and organizations from all over the world.

The Journal of Adolescent Health is a multidisciplinary scientific Journal, that finds its research materials from the field of Adolescent Medicine and Health that varies from the public health and policy basic behavioral to biological and behavioral sciences. The publishers usually look for letters to the editor, review articles, commentaries, case reports and original manuscripts.

The Revista Iberoamericana de Automática e Informática Industrial (RIAI) (Ibero-American Journal of Industrial Automation and Informatics) is the official Journal of the Comité Español de Automática (CEA) (Spanish Automation Committee), a member of the Federación Internacional de Control Automático (IFAC) (International Confederation of Automation Control). The Journal is directed towards the Ibero-American community, and in general, for environments in which Spanish is the basic language, and not exclusive, of communication. RIAI covers the wide field of Control Theory, Systems Engineering, Robotics, Automation Regulation, and the different technologies used in making these control systems, in particular those based on computers and communication networks. It publishes four issues per year, which include scientific-technical articles, communications and short articles, special articles, and opinion articles, of interest to research professionals, R&D Departments, and university community in the scientific-technical field of Industrial Automation and Informatics.
