International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology

The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology bridges the gap between pure research journals and the more practical publications on advanced manufacturing and systems. It therefore provides an outstanding forum for papers covering applications-based research topics relevant to manufacturing processes, machines and process integration. Published papers will continue to be to a high standard of excellence. This is ensured by subjecting each paper to a strict assessment procedure by members of the international editorial advisory board. The objective is firmly to establish that papers submitted do meet the requirements, especially in the context of proven applications-based research work. It is not acceptable that papers have a theoretical content alone, papers must demonstrate manufacturing applications. The journal covers the full range of advanced manufacturing technology, including: • Machining and forming technology • Non-traditional material removal processes • Machine tools technology • Materials joining • Laser technology and applications • Micro and nano-fabrication • Robotics, mechatronics and manufacturing automation • Precision engineering, inspection, measurement and metrology • Sustainable and green manufacturing • Additive manufacturing • Computer-integrated manufacturing systems • Application of evolutionary computing techniques in manufacturing operations • Manufacturing planning, optimization and simulation • Smart Manufacturing • Virtual Manufacturing.

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.
