Journal Guide

Additive Manufacturing is the peer-reviewed journal that provides academia and world-leading industry with high quality research papers and reviews in additive manufacturing. The journal aims to acknowledge the innovative nature of additive manufacturing and its broad applications to outline the current and future developments in the field.

Additive manufacturing technologies are positioned to provide a disruptive transformation in how products are designed and manufactured. From this, there was a need to create a fast-publication journal which provides a unique publication outlet for engineers, materials scientists and practitioners in academia and virtually any industry as these technologies are incorporated in new product and medical implant design and manufacturing.

The journal covers a wide scope, comprising new technologies, processes, methods, materials, systems, and applications in the field of additive manufacturing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

Design and Modeling
• Multiple material components and devices Heterogeneous Design
• Heterogeneous Design
• Modeling from concept to manufacture to implementation to disposal - the entire product life cycle

Additive manufacturing processes and process enhancements
• Advancements in additive manufacturing processes
• Multi-technology (hybrid) systems
• Enhanced closed-loop control of additive manufacturing systems

Multiple and novel materials
• Characterization and performance - mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological, opticals
• New material formulations and composite materials
• Processing of materials in additive manufacturing and for use in additive manufacturing

Special applications with multi-functionality
• Medical additive manufacturing and bio-printing
• Optimized configurations such as topology optimization
• Additive manufacturing for space and in-space additive manufacturing
• Improved energy utilization in and using additive manufacturing
• Nano-additive manufacturing
• Electromechanical and robotic systems
• 3D electronics, electromagnetics, and metamaterials
• Other novel applications of additive manufacturing

Adhoc & Sensor Wireless Networks seeks to provide an opportunity for researchers from computer science, engineering and mathematical backgrounds to disseminate and exchange knowledge in the rapidly emerging field of ad hoc and sensor wireless networks. It will comprehensively cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as application, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, satellite, vehicular, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks.The main focus of the journal is to publish original contributions, including regular papers, short papers, research notes and communications, review and survey papers. In order to provide timely dissemination of ideas whose evaluation may require significant time and impose publication delays, one of the unique features of this journal is to allow authors the publication of promising concepts and algorithms with either partial or without prior experimental evaluation.

Administration & Society (AAS) published 8 times/year, seeks to further the understanding of public and human service organizations, their administrative processes, and their effect on society. Empirical research reports and theoretical articles provide thoughtful and significant analyses of administrative issues at the federal, state and local levels.

Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research aims to improve the effectiveness of mental health and related human service programs by advancing research on services and the practice and process of administration in the mental health setting. This journal publishes peer-reviewed, original empirical research articles and administrative and policy notes, which are commentaries, observations, and/or opinions that are briefer and less research-oriented than articles. 5 Year Impact Factor: 1.005 (2007)Section 'Public, Environmental & Occupational Health': Rank 43 out of 70

Administration in Social Work is a highly respected, peer-reviewed journal which has provided timely, relevant information to human services administrators, managers, and educators for more than a quarter century. The journal keeps you up to date on theory, practice, and research, with special attention given to the relationship between social administration and social policy planning. As the only journal completely devoted to this part of the field, Administration in Social Work delivers suggestions for improving management in social agencies, book and literature reviews, and examinations of key issues, including: program development, affirmative action, employment and personnel policies, finances and accounting, quality improvement/control, monitoring.Special thematic issues of the journal focus on a single topic. Topics covered previously in thematic issues of the journal include: social services in the workplace, human services integration, organizational change and development in human service organizations, community organization and social administration, efficiency and the social services, administrative leadership in the social services, alternative social agencies, managing for service effectiveness in social welfare organizations, practical issues in social welfare administration, policy, and planning, applying computers in social service and mental health agencies-a guide to selecting equipment, procedures, and strategies, guide to ethical decisions and actions for social service administrators.Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous referees.
