Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJMMS publishes refereed quality papers in the broad field of mechatronics and manufacturing systems with a special emphasis on research and development in the modern engineering of advanced manufacturing processes and systems. IJMMS fosters information exchange and discussion on all aspects of mechatronics (computers, electrical and mechanical engineering) with applications in manufacturing processes and systems.

IJMMS focuses on all manufacturing processes and systems, including machining (traditional and non-traditional processes), metal casting, bulk deformation, sheet metal forming, welding, plastics/composites processing, ceramic processing, additive/layered manufacturing processes, hybrid processes (thermal, plasma, chemical and electrical energy assisted processes), and microfabrication processes (micromachining, microforming, hot embossing and patterning).

The journal also carries work on broad industrial applications, such as mechanical product manufacturing; applications in the automotive, aircraft, aerospace, machine tools, mould and die industries; consumer electronics product manufacturing; computers, semiconductor and communication industries and regulated product manufacturing; and biomedical, food, pharmaceutical and packaging industries.

 Go Top  Objectives
The objectives of IJMMS are to establish a channel of communication to disseminate knowledge between academics/researchers and industry practitioners about the advances in mechatronics, sensors and controls applications in modern manufacturing processes and systems.
