Editorial objectives
Industrial Robot provides up-to-date coverage of international activities that relate to the design and application of industrial and service robot systems. 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 from both academia and commercial research centres. These articles will reflect the most interesting and strategically important research 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 feature articles are reviewed by the Editor for general suitability for publication. Research articles are reviewed by the Editor for general suitability; the Editor then works closely with the author before the article is sent for double-blind peer-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. Please see the Emerald Literati Editing Service page for more details.
