Scope

Lubrication Science is devoted to high-quality research which notably advances fundamental and applied aspects of the science and technology related to lubrication. It publishes research articles, short communications and reviews which demonstrate novelty and cutting edge science in the field, aiming to become a key specialised venue for communicating advances in lubrication research and development. Lubrication is a diverse discipline ranging from lubrication concepts in industrial and automotive engineering, solid-state and gas lubrication, micro & nanolubrication phenomena, to lubrication in biological systems. To investigate these areas the scope of the journal encourages fundamental and application-based studies on: Synthesis, chemistry and the broader development of high-performing and environmentally adapted lubricants and additives. State of the art analytical tools and characterisation of lubricants, lubricated surfaces and interfaces. Solid lubricants, self-lubricating coatings and composites, lubricating nanoparticles. Gas lubrication. Extreme-conditions lubrication. Green-lubrication technology and lubricants. Tribochemistry and tribocorrosion of environment- and lubricant-interface interactions. Modelling of lubrication mechanisms and interface phenomena on different scales: from atomic and molecular to mezzo and structural. Modelling hydrodynamic and thin film lubrication. All lubrication related aspects of nanotribology. Surface-lubricant interface interactions and phenomena: wetting, adhesion and adsorption. Bio-lubrication, bio-lubricants and lubricated biological systems. Other novel and cutting-edge aspects of lubrication in all lubrication regimes.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

External Cites per Doc

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
