We are announcing an open call for proposals for the position of Editor-in-Chief for our esteemed journal, Research in Engineering Design. As a leading publication in the field, we are seeking an experienced and visionary individual to lead the editorial team and further elevate the journal's impact in the academic community.

Proposals should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief, Yoram Reich at yor...@tauex.tau.ac.il and Publishing Editor, Zoe Kennedy zoe.k...@springer.com.

In the Design research area, everything from a steam turbine to a gaming console is conceived, designed, fabricated, assembled, and delivered by an engineer who understands design, manufacturing, sustainability, and the supply chain.

MIT's Bike Lab, an all-volunteer student-run bike shop, founded by graduate student Bianca Champenois, provides repair and maintenance services, emphasizes hands-on learning, and promotes sustainable transportation.

A design prototype research paper typically includes an abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion, and references. The structure may vary slightly depending on the specific requirements of the journal or conference.

The abstract should provide a concise summary of the paper, including the research problem, objectives, methods, key findings, and conclusions. It should be brief, usually around 150-250 words, and give readers a quick overview of the study.

The methodology section should detail the design process, including how the prototype was developed, the materials and tools used, and any testing or evaluation methods employed. It should provide enough information for others to replicate the study.

The results section should present the findings from testing or evaluating the prototype. This may include quantitative data, qualitative observations, user feedback, and any performance metrics. Visual aids like charts, graphs, and images of the prototype can be very helpful.

The discussion should interpret the results, explaining their significance and how they relate to the research questions. It should also address any limitations of the study and suggest areas for future research. The conclusion should summarize the main findings and their implications, reinforcing the contribution of the research to the field.

You should first look at its status in the Journal Tool. Depending on what stage it is in, you can look at the estimated time periods in the review process, and if the upper bounds are exceeded you may contact the Associate Editor or Editor-in-Chief.

It is a critical consideration. Poor language text will not be sent for review. Tentatively accepted papers must adhere to high quality language text standards prior to final acceptance. Professional editorial help may be necessary for final publication, as the JMD editorial staff cannot provide such a service.

Not directly. In fact a plurality of JMD papers comes from the international community. Indirectly, however, authors familiar and competent in the prevailing scholarly standards will have a much higher chance of publishing at JMD. Studying and referencing previous articles from JMD is very helpful in this respect. For more discussion on this topic see the JMD September 2008 Editorial: Globalization and Internationalism.

The Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics (JMR) evolved in part from the JMD community, see the JMD January 2008 Editorial: A New Year, a New Editor, and a New Journal. In general, research work in mechanisms and robotics aimed at design synthesis would belong to JMD, while theoretical analysis work would fit better in JMR. The respective Technical Editors are re-routing submissions using this main criterion. For a commentary on analysis vs. synthesis, see the JMD March 2008 Editorial: Design analysis and synthesis.

Yes. There was a special issue published in July 2007 with an accompanying editorial explaining its rationale, see JMD July 2007 Editorial: Design engineering education. Since 2009 there has been a JMD Associate Editor appointed specifically for design education papers.

Proofs are usually sent within 5-7 days after all copyright forms are approved and any required invoices are paid. Please plan to review and return any corrections within 48 hours to ensure your paper is published as soon as possible.

ASME imposes a 12-typeset page limit for research papers and mandatory page charges are assessed for longer papers. If this limit is exceeded, authors should consult with the editors about shortening the paper. If accepted for publication, a page charge is assessed for each page over 12 typeset pages (approx. 10,000 words plus 5-8 figures or tables). An invoice for any excess pages will be sent when the paper is typeset. Upon request, the Editor of the journal may waive excess page charges on a case-by-case basis.

Supplemental Material refers to files related to, but not essential to, a specific paper. Supplemental Material is only considered for a Research Paper or a Review Article. A Paper or Article must be complete and stand-alone without the Supplementary Material.

The ASME Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD) serves the broad design community as a venue for scholarly, archival research on all aspects of the engineering design activity. JMD has traditionally served the ASME Design Engineering Division and its technical committees, but it welcomes contributions from all areas of design with an emphasis on design synthesis.

The Journal of Mechanical Design Webinar Series is a series of webinars organized quarterly to feature interesting research work being published in the Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD).

We aim to give students a balance of intellectual and practical experiences that enable them to address a variety of societal needs, and prepares students for entry-level work as mechanical engineers or for graduate study in engineering.

Our goal is to align academic course work with research to prepare scholars in specialized areas within the field. Areas of specialization include automatic controls, energy systems, fluid mechanics, design, and more.

International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics Research. IJMERR is a scholarly peer-reviewed international scientific journal published bimonthly, focusing on theories, systems, methods, algorithms and applications in mechanical engineering and robotics. It provides a high profile, leading edge forum for academic researchers, industrial professionals, engineers, consultants, managers, educators and policy makers working in the field to contribute and disseminate innovative new work on Mechanical Engineering and Robotics Research. All papers will be blind reviewed and accepted papers will be published bimonthly, which is available only online (open access).

Research papers undergo full peer review. Authors are encouraged to prepare concise manuscripts that convey clearly the significance of the work. Research Papers do not have a specified length but are usually 6000 to 10,000 words with 5-8 figures or tables. There are no page charges for Research Papers up to 12 typeset pages (usually 10,000 words plus figures and tables). Excess page charges of $200 per typeset page over 12 pages are assessed unless waived by the Editor on a case by case basis. Authors should provide a cover letter that indicates why the additional length is merited.

Technical briefs undergo full peer review. A technical brief reports results that are of significant and archival value to the engineering community; however, these works are more limited in scope and length than a research paper. A technical brief may contain any of the following: 1. preliminary report of a result not yet fully developed or interpreted; and 2. commentary on a technical issue of potential interest to readers. Recommended Length: 4000 words.

Design innovation papers undergo full peer review. A design innovation paper represents scholarly innovation in design that has technological implications. The archival value of such papers is in the innovation part of a design and not necessarily in the theory. This type of paper is intended for outstanding work in mechanical design that is concept oriented and does not necessarily require detailed theoretical or experimental development and analysis, but does have archival value in design practice, as well as potential technological implications. Recommended Length: 7000 words.

Review articles undergo full peer review. A Review Article organizes, clarifies, and summarizes existing major works in science and engineering and provides comprehensive citations to a full spectrum of relevant literature. Length: open.

Expert View articles undergo full peer review. An Expert View article is a brief overview of the most recent advances in a given area of Mechanical Engineering. The format for an Expert View is the same as a Research. Length: 4500 words.

Discussions are reviewed by the Editor and may undergo full peer review. A Discussion is a means for authors to offer comments and opinions on previously published papers of that particular journal. Authors whose work is used for a Discussion will have the opportunity to respond with a Closure. Publication of a submitted discussion is at the discretion of the Editor. Recommended Length: 2500 words

Closures are reviewed by the Editor and may undergo full peer review. A closure is the response of an author whose paper is the subject of a published discussion. Publication of a submitted closure is at the discretion of the editor. Recommended Length: 250 words
