Journal Guide

Lubricants (ISSN 2075-4442) publishes regular research papers, reviews, letters and communications covering all aspects of tribology, including the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish experimental, theoretical and computational results that provide new insight and understanding into the scientific and technical basis for lubrication and related phenomenon. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, three unique features of this Journal: Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas are welcome; Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material; Manuscripts concerning summaries and surveys on research cooperation and projects (that are founded by national governments) to give information for a broad field of users.

Machine Learning: Engineering is a multidisciplinary open access journal dedicated to the application of machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven computational methods across all areas of engineering. The journal also publishes research that presents methodological, theoretical, or conceptual advances in machine learning and AI with applications to engineering.

Machines (ISSN 2075-1702) is an international, peer-reviewed journal on machinery and engineering. It publishes research articles, reviews, short communications and letters. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure - if unable to be published in a normal way - can be deposited as supplementary material

Machining Science and Technology publishes original scientific and technical papers and review articles on topics related to machining and traditional and nontraditional machining processes performed on all materials-metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. In addition, this high-quality journal covers novel concepts for machining of advanced materials; measurement of surface quality and metrology including detection and characterization of machining damage; special cutting tools, coated inserts, new grinding wheels, special coolants, and cutting fluids; and design and implementation of in-process sensors for monitoring and control of surface quality and integrity. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

This journal aims to provide a medium for presentation and discussion of the latest developments in research, design, fabrication and in-service experience relating to marine structures, i.e., all structures of steel, concrete, light alloy or composite construction having an interface with the sea, including ships, fixed and mobile offshore platforms, submarine and submersibles, pipelines, subsea systems for shallow and deep ocean operations and coastal structures such as piers.Marine Structures covers:• Definition of the ocean environment and of loads exerted by waves, currents, winds, tides and ice;• Seabed foundations and structural interaction;• Evaluation of static and dynamic structural response including collapse behaviour;• collision mechanics;• Fatigue and fracture;• Materials (and their selection), corrosion and other forms of degradation;• Formulation and application of design methods and criteria including use of reliability analysis, optimisation techniques and CAD;• Inspection and structural monitoring, repair and maintenance;• Fabrication, launching, installation and decommissioning techniques.Papers submitted to the journal must be original and will be refereed to a high standard. They may include new research findings, together with developments in design methodology and fabrication techniques. Priority will be given to papers which are likely to have an impact on design. Constructive state-of-the-art reviews are also welcome.The journal will also include technical notes, discussion of papers, invited commentaries, letters to the editors and reviews of significant new publications in the field, together with a calendar of important events worldwide.Related Conferences can be found under 'Related publications'.
