"Assembly Automation provides up-to-date coverage of international activities that relate to the automation of assembly operations." | If you are looking to keep pace with international developments in both dedicated and programme assembly - especially the current trends towards flexible manufacturing - then Assembly Automation is the only resource you need. When you want the latest news, views and innovations, you will find them. But you will also find in-depth research articles from around the world, written by leading international academics, engineers and managers from their practical experience. Plus detailed case histories about assembly technology in action, so you can learn directly from the experiences of others in similar and differing fields. |

Editorial objectives
Assembly Automation provides up-to-date coverage of international activities that relate to the automation of assembly operations. Coverage is essentially of a practical nature and designed to be of material benefit to those working in the field. Proven applications are covered together with company news and new product information.
The journal also includes a substantial section reserved for "research articles". These will be selected by the Guest Specialist who is an international authority on the theme for that issue and he/she will commission typically four research articles from academia and commercial research centres. These articles will reflect the most interesting and strategically important research and development activities from around the world.
Although typically more academic in content than other articles in the journal, emphasis will be placed as much on fundamental concepts and application potential as rigorous academic analysis. This will ensure that the research articles remain accessible to all subscribers regardless of their particular areas of expertise.
The reviewing process
All articles are reviewed by the Editor for general suitability for publication. Research articles are reviewed by the Editor for general suitability and the Editor then works closely with the author before they are sent to a minimum of one Editorial Advisory Board member for review.
Emerald Literati Editing Service
The Literati Club can recommend the services of a number of freelance copy editors, all themselves experienced authors, to contributors who wish to improve the standard of English in their paper before submission. This is particularly useful for those whose first language is not English.
