PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS PART B-JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING MANUFACTURE
|
Manufacturing industries throughout the world are changing very rapidly. New concepts and methods are being developed and exploited to enable efficient and effective manufacturing. Existing manufacturing processes are being improved to meet the requirements of lean and agile manufacturing. The aim of the Journal of Engineering Manufacture is to provide a focus for these developments in engineering manufacture by publishing original papers and review papers covering technological and scientific research, developments and management implementation in manufacturing. |
 |
Contributions are welcomed in the broad areas of processes, systems and management relevant to engineering manufacture. Of particular interest at the present time would be papers concerned with knowledge management, sustainable development, clean manufacturing, nano/micro/mesotechnology, high speed machining, product introduction processes, virtual enterprises, disassembly and supply chains/networks.
Instructions to Authors
Length
1. In general, Technical Papers, Review Papers and Case Studies should not normally exceed 5000 words (with up to 10 illustrations). Longer articles will be considered, however, as our criterion is that the content justifies the length of the article.
2. Technical Notes should not exceed 1500 words and 5 illustrations.
3. Discussions on papers already published should not exceed 500 words and 2 illustrations.
Preparation of manuscripts
1. The language of the Proceedings is English and the preferred spellings are those of the Oxford English Dictionary.
2. Papers should be written in the third person in an objective, formal and impersonal style.
3. SI units should be used wherever possible, as recommended in ISO 1000 and BS5555.
4. Symbols for physical quantities should be in italic (sloping) type. Mathematical operators and constants (sin, e, d, log, p, . . .) and symbols for units (m, kg, s, . . .) should be in roman (upright) type. Vectors should be in bold italic type (A) and matrices in bold upright type (A). If this is not possible then they should be indicated by a wavy line. Further details are given in ISO 31 and BS 5775.
5. Manuscripts should be typed, with double spacing throughout (including references), on A4 size paper, leaving ample margins. A list of captions for the illustrations and each table should be typed separately.
6. The preferred order of contents is as follows:
(a) Title of article.
(b) Author(s) name(s) and business address(es).
(c) Abstract of not more than 200 words: covering the aims of the work, methods used, results obtained and conclusions reached; keywords for information retrieval purposes should be indicated.
(d) List of notation, in alphabetical order, defining all the symbols used in the paper (see 4 above).
(e) Body of the paper: organized into logical sections, sequentially numbered with no more than two grades of subheadings.
(f) Acknowledgements.
(g) References in the order to which they have been referred in the text [1, 2]. For example:
1 Weston, R.H. Integration infrastructure requirements for agile manufacturing systems. Proc. Instn Mech. Engrs, Part B, J. Engineering Manufacture, 1998, 212(B6), 423-437.
2 Hansford, E.W.W., Francis, R.J. and Broadbent, J.H. JASON decommissioning project. In IMechE International Conference on Nuclear Decommissioning ‘98, London, 2-3 December 1998, Conference Transactions 1998 12, paper C539/012/98, pp. 157-168 (Professional Engineering Publishing, Bury St Edmunds and London).
(h) Tables: these should be numbered consecutively throughout the text.
(i) List of captions for the illustrations which should also be numbered consecutively throughout the text; both line drawings and photographs must be included in the same numbering sequence.
Illustrations
Illustrations should only be included if they are informative and add to the understanding of the reader. Each illustration should be marked with the author's name and the figure number; the top of each illustration should be indicated. No illustrations will be returned to the author unless specifically requested.
1. Line drawings should be supplied as camera-ready originals or ready to be used on reduction. All labelling/annotation should be of consistent size/style throughout. Symbols should be used to match those used in the text (see 'Preparation of Manuscripts', above). Please avoid use of shading; use hatching instead for clarity. Multicoloured line drawings are unsuitable for monochrome (black and white) printing. Computer-generated drawings are only acceptable if the line thickness is adequate to stand reduction.
2. Photographs should be clear, sharp, black and white prints, with good contrast, on glossy paper; the most suitable size is twice the final size. Cuttings from printed matter or photocopies are unsuitable for reproduction.
3. Colour illustrations may be included. This will only be considered where the use of colour is unavoidable. Any author wishing to include colour illustrations must make this plain when submitting the paper, as any colour must be agreed with the publisher prior to the paper being accepted. We have recently introduced a standard charge for colour of ?600 per article, based on the author supplying electronic files for the figures. If the author does not supply the electronic files, then the full (higher) costs of reproduction will be payable.
Copyright
Articles are considered for publication on the understanding that they have not been submitted to any other publisher. The work described must be original and, generally speaking, not previously published. The Journal’s policy is to acquire copyright in all accepted papers. There are two reasons for this:
1. ownership of copyright by the Publisher ensures maximum international protection against infringement;
2. it also ensures that requests by third parties to reprint a contribution, or part of it, are handled efficiently and centrally in accordance with our general policy which encourages dissemination of knowledge inside the framework of copyright. Authors who wish to reproduce illustrations that have already been published elsewhere must obtain the permission of the copyright holder before submitting their work.
Submission of manuscripts
Postal Submission
Please send five copies of the manuscript together with photographs and line drawings to:
Journals Assistant
Journal of Engineering Manufacture
Professional Engineering Publishing Ltd.
Northgate Avenue
Bury St Edmunds IP32 6BW
UK
Tel: +44 (0) 1284 718653
Fax: +44 (0) 1284 768219
Email: jengmanuf@pepublishing.com
In the case of joint authors it must be made clear to whom correspondence and proofs are to be directed.
We would also welcome suggestions of at least four appropriate referees. This will assist us in enhancing our referee database and one or more of your suggestions may be asked to review your submission.
Electronic Submission
We provide authors with the option to submit their articles electronically (as PDF files) using the ESPERE system. We would like to encourage this submission method in order to learn more about our authors’ requirements and to customize the service accordingly.
Electronic submissions must be readable on referees’ computers, and the format that most closely matches this criterion at present is Adobe Acrobat PDF. For this reason, we are only considering electronic submissions prepared as a single PDF file. When preparing the article for submission as a PDF file, please ensure that
all illustrations, tables etc are included in a single file with the text
all illustrations are prepared with the lowest possible resolution that allows for a referee to assess the content
all fonts are embedded
the size of the file is optimized (minimized). If the file size is large, referees may be discouraged from accessing the paper!
Notes on how to create a PDF file are available from http://www.espere.org/pdffile.htm
To submit the article electronically, register/log on with the ESPERE server (http://www.subsespere. org/start.asp?journal=pi). When you register, you will receive a password by email. Use the same link to log on to the server which takes you straight to the Proceedings section of the server; select New Submission. Choose the relevant journal from the list 'Category' (all the Parts of the Proceedings are listed under this heading). If you have already registered, the same username and password may be used for different journals.
Review Process
Submissions to the journal are assessed by independent referees who make recommendations on the suitability of the articles for publication. We are committed to providing timely assessment of articles and authors are informed of the publication decision as soon as possible.
It should be noted that our refereeing process, common to many other publishers, is single-blind, that is, the referees remain anonymous and their identities are not released to authors. The referees, however, are informed of the authors’ names and affiliations.
Production
If an article is accepted for publication, we ask for electronic files to facilitate the production process. PDF files are not appropriate for our production requirements. Disks should be retained until the paper is accepted. Many types of software are acceptable, but MS Word is preferred. Separate files should be created for each of: the text, the references, each appendix, each table, the figure captions. Illustrations should be submitted on a separate disk. Do not merge the files into one electronic document. ASCII files should be included if available.
Authors may choose either 25 free offprints of papers or a copy of the issue in which their work is published. Further offprints can be ordered at a reasonable cost prior to printing.
