Journal Guide

The Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics publishes the results of theoretical and experimental studies in the following fields:Thermophysics: Heat and mass transfer: Theory of heat conduction: Thermodynamics of irreversible processes: Theory of drying: Heat and mass transfer in disperse and porous systems: Rheodynamics:Rheology.The main focus of this publication is to highlight papers detailing with important, modern day problems, which challenge Scientists in the fields of Technology, Engineering and Physics. Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics is an English translation of the Russian language journal Inzhenerno-fizicheskii Zhurnal, a publication of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The English edition has been published since the very first volume of the Russian journal appeared in 1965. Both editions are published bimonthly. As the entire content is available in both Russian and English, this valuable resource can reach a global audience, thus facilitating international communication between researchers involved in similar studies across the world, this is further facilitated by the online availability of the journal through www.SpringerLink.com. The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.All articles are peer-reviewed.

The Journal publishes original articles in the English language based on the research work of academic institutes in Russia and CIS. The Journal welcomes original works in thermophysics from various countries. The Journal focuses on experimental work, theory, analysis, and computational studies for better understanding of engineering and environmental aspects of thermophysics. The editorial board encourages the authors to submit papers with emphasis on new scientific aspects in experimental and visualization techniques, mathematical models of thermophysical process, energy, and environmental applications. The Journal covers all subject areas of thermophysics, including heat and mass transfer, multiphase flow, conduction, radiation, combustion, thermogasdynamics, rarefied gas flow, environmental protection in power engineering, and many others.Until 2002 the Journal was titled the Russian Journal of Engineering Thermophysics.

The Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention (JFAP) is written for and read by individuals involved in failure analysis, materials scientists, and mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion, and design engineers. The publication is unique in that it contains current news and technical articles, as well as archival peer-reviewed papers and reviews. JFAP provides information gathering techniques, technical analysis, and emerging tools that will assist failure analysis professionals in determining the cause of failures and eliminating failures in the future. Articles demonstrate the importance of failure analysis to product/performance improvements and industrial problem solving. JFAP is intended to be of interest to both the experienced and less experienced failure analysis practitioner with a focus on shared interest across the industries. Bi-monthly periodical for the failure analyst. Provides practical information for determining the cause of failures and eliminating future failures. Highlights information-gathering techniques, technical analysis and emerging tools to assist the future analyst. Peer-reviewed articles demonstrate the important of failure analysis, product/performance improvement and industrial problem solving. Written for the experienced and less experienced failure analysis practitioner.

The Journal of Field Robotics seeks to promote scholarly publications dealing with the fundamentals of robotics in unstructured and dynamic environments. Articles describing robotics research with applications to the environment, construction, forestry, agriculture, mining, subsea, intelligent highways, search and rescue, military, and space (orbital and planetary) are encouraged. Papers in sensing, sensors, mechanical design, computing architectures, communication, planning, learning, and control, applied to field applications are encouraged. The Journal focuses on experimental robotics and encourages publication of work that has both theoretical and practical significance. Authors will be encouraged to implement their work and demonstrate its utility on significant problems with emphasis on the underlying principles. That is, the Journal will encourage reporting on what was learned in doing the work, rather than merely on what was done. Also encouraged are comparative or meta-studies and verification of previously published results as well as reports of extended field experiments that seek to validate autonomous systems in representative environments. Systems papers will be welcome but they must include analysis and insight into why approaches work and the challenges still to be addressed. Studies of systems that have been fielded over extended durations are encouraged. The journal will publish only articles of high quality rather than achieving a particular number of papers or a ratio of accepted papers to those submitted. The Journal will push the frontiers of electronic publishing in the following ways: 1. Exploitation of the medium via multimedia that accompanies articles . JFR will publish code, models, data, and animations (either synthetic or actual video demonstrations) as appendices to articles. Such appendices will not be a requirement for publication but will be encouraged. 2. Low-cost access to articles and appendices . JFR will be deliberately structured so as to reduce the costs of publication. Fast and easy access to the journal will accelerate the pace at which new results can be absorbed by other researchers. It will also allow access to new results by a large population across the globe currently not privileged to the infrastructure required to support robotics research and, in some cases, who do not have easy access to archival quality printed journals. 3. Reduced time to publication . JFR will organize the reviewing and publication process in such a way that a short turnaround time is possible. Reviews will be led by members of the Editorial Board and by notable researchers. Papers and reviews will be managed via a Web interface and a paid managing editor will be in charge of ensuring the process of submission and resubmission runs smoothly. Before being asked to review a paper, reviewers will be asked whether they have the time to review the paper, and if they do not, they will not be sent the paper. Free Online Access in the Developing World Access to this journal is available free online within institutions in the developing world through the Research4Life collective.
