Assembly Automation journal - Call for Papers

AA 31-2 Rapid Prototyping and joining technologies

Our theme covers the whole of RP and so any area will be of interest to us. We try to include the most up to date and significant developments. If you have any particular suggestions please feel free to e-mail them to me for early feedback.

Assembly Automation [mc.manuscriptcentral.com] - (online manuscript submission)

We do not have rigid size limits but most articles/papers are 3000-5000 words with about 10 figures. Format is very simple – just a Word doc with the figure captions at the end and each figure uploaded as a separate TIF or JPG file.

For this special issue (AA 31-3) I would hope to have received all contributions online (see link above) by mid-February. They are then sent for internal and external review which normally takes about 4 weeks. The issue is scheduled for print publication on 6th August 2011 and will be online a few weeks before that.

Please contact me if the above is of interest to you.

Is it ISI indexed?

Hello Clive,

I can't work out if you charge a fee for these research papers?

If I create a login can I get information for free from your website?

The current issue of the Rapid Prototyping Journal sounds interesting, but is it free?

My only other comment would be Feb to Aug is quite a long time, much can happen, but I guess it depends on what level of detail you are trying to get across to your readership.

richrap,

Clive isn't actually selling stuff here.

He's the editor of an academic journal, and he dropped in to ask you (and everyone else) if you'd care to submit your work to the journal for publication.

(pst: go for it, it will be fun, and it will help your cv!)

Remember, you're all RepRap developers (once you've joined the super-secret developer mailing list), and the wiki, RepRap.org, [reprap.org] is for everyone and everything!

It sounds good and I'm interested but i wanted to check if what we submit will be accessable to all (free).

I'm quite happy to help, but as many of us are still new to Reprap and 3D printing it all depends on what Clive is looking for. Maybe just define significant development?

richrap,

Think of it this way: if you take Clive up on his kind offer and do up a nice reprap review article for the journal, his readers will all dogpile our website, buy or borrow a set of parts, join reprap-dev,
http://reprap.org/pipermail/reprap-dev/
and start stuffing files and other documentation into our wiki. He's offering us access to a bunch of potential new keen fellow reprap developers.

If you don't take him up on his offer, that won't happen.

what we submit will be accessible to all (free).
Oh, primary documentation, i.e. files, wikitext, images, and files, should go in the wiki so that folk can find it and replicate our research, but once that's sorted, it's jolly good fun to spray copies of our documentation across the rest of the internet.

Clive,

Thanks Sebastien,

I agree it sounds great!

I have e-mailed Clive for more info and some initial ideas.

Cheers,

Rich

Clive, do you accept LaTeX documents? If so, do you have a particular layout style/template that can be downloaded?
