IJPTech promotes technological advances in precision engineering that are not accompanied by science and mathematics. The wheel is a technological example that was invented in 4000 BC in Mesopotamia (now present day Iraq). The wheel in the Formula One car today is an engineering example backed by science and mathematics. Technological findings do not have to date to Palaeolithic times, since we have them even today in examples such as ductile mode machining, which is technology rather than engineering since reasons for its occurrence backed by science and mathematics are yet to be established. Mathematics is an exact science; precision technology is not, but precision engineering ought to be. Developments in precision technology can lead to inventions and innovations and IJPTech promotes and fosters such work.
 Objectives
The objectives of IJPTech are to attract papers that deal with what Taniguchi calls normal, precision, high precision, and ultra-precision machining processes, and the machine tools, cutting tools and measurement systems involved in these processes. Precision is defined as something which is repetitive but not necessarily accurate. The ideal product, process, or system is that which is precise and accurate as well. IJPTech caters for such papers that may be technological and not backed by advanced science and mathematics but also welcomes papers of an engineering, scientific, and mathematical nature. Readership
IJPTech provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers, working in the field of precision technology management, precision science and engineering and business education, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. Contents
IJPTech publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries, and news pertaining to precision technology. Special Issues devoted to important topics in precision technology management will occasionally be published. Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:
- Precision cutting tools and materials
- Mechanics of precision machining and polishing
- Precision, high precision, and ultra-precision machine tools
- Hydrodynamic, hydrostatic and gas bearings
- Precision metrology
- Tribology
- Clean rooms
- Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)
- Energy particle beam machining
- Nanoprocessing
Specific Notes for Authors
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may
only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has
been completely re-written).
All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Submission of
Papers web-page.
You may send one copy in the form of an MS Word file attached to an e-mail (details of file formats in Author
Guidelines) to Prof. V. C. Venkatesh
Please include in your submission the title of the Journal
