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.   Hide
