Instructions for Authors
Aims and Scope: Machining Science and Technology is a refereed journal in the English language that publishes original scientific papers, short technical communications, as well as review articles, on topics related to machining. Both traditional and nontraditional material removal processes performed on all materials -metals,polymers,ceramics,and composites -are of interest. Full-length articles, reviews, short communications, and special reports are published in the journal.
Submission of Manuscripts: Machining Science and Technology receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their Manuscript Central website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/LMST. Manuscript Central allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform. For Manuscript Central technical support,you may contact them by e-mail or phone support via http://scholarone.com/services/support/. If you have any other requests please contact the journal at jawahir@engr.uky.edu. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a written declaration that it has not been published elsewhere, that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere, and that all co-authors have read the manuscript and agree to the accuracy of their manuscript. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.
Manuscript Format: All manuscripts must be prepared according to the following guidelines to be considered for review: - Electronic text files must be in Microsoft Word TM or PDF format,typewritten on letter-size pages (8.5 in.11 in.) with margins of 1 inch on all sides,and in single-column,double-space format. Pages should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript. The text should be in Times New Roman font, size:12 pt.Machining Science and Technology is an international journal, hence both US English and International English are accepted for submitted manuscripts.
- Following the title,authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces.The corresponding author should be clearly indicated when listing the authors 'names and affiliations. Contact details, including email address, for the corresponding author should be given at the bottom of the manuscript's front page. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more than 200 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and references in the abstract. A maximum of six keywords should be provided after the abstract.
- All section headings (Introduction,Conclusions,etc.), as well as the title, should be in bold, capital
letters. First-level subheadings should be in bold letters, and in sentence case. Different sections of the manuscript's main body should be presented in the order: Introduction,...,Summary = Conclusion, Acknowledgement (if necessary), Nomenclature (if necessary), References, Figures, Tables, Appendices (if necessary). - All equations must be numbered, displayed in italics (or equation-type font), and presented on separate lines. All variables (Fx ,Fy ,Fz ,Ra ,etc.) must be in italics, including occurrences within figures and tables. The use of SI units is encouraged. When English units are used,SI equivalents should be provided within brackets.
- Tables and figures should not be embedded within the body of the text,but should be presented on separate pages at the end of the text in a single document file, or else provided as separate electronic files. All units must be included wherever necessary. A short descriptive title should appear above each table, with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. A short descriptive caption should be placed below each figure, with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. Any text within figures and tables should be appropriately sized -large enough to be clearly read, but no larger than the text in the main body of the manuscript. Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs,etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should have a resolution of 300 dpi or higher.Figures should be supplied in eps, jpg, or tiff file formats.Scales must be shown where appropriate.
- For figures containing plotted data,all axes must be appropriately labeled (including corresponding units). Kindly ensure that different plotted points =lines =curves are clearly distinguishable from each other upon printing in grayscale, which is the default printing scheme.
