Editorial Policies
Aims and Scope
The mission of the journal is to provide an open platform for the information exchange and publicity for various original research evidence obtained by the authors of publications as results of conducted tests or experiments in the field of mechanical engineering, metalworking, materials science and metallurgy.
The tasks of the journal: to publish to all concerned scientific community the results of scientific research, to view the effectiveness of new research methods; to discuss modern theory trends; to inform readers about the results of Russian and international scientific conferences and forums; to raise the professional level of researchers, machine-building specialists, technical universities educators; to improve the quality of the journal's content in accordance with the requirements of international standards and global citation indexes; to increase the accessibility of the journal for authors and readers; to arrange stable ways of journal circulation.
The policy of the editorial board of the journal is aimed at no breach of laws by all the members, including founders, publishers, authors, editors, reviewers, members of the editorial Board and the editorial staff of the customized edition, i.e. complying with the laws of the Russian Federation on copyright, adherence to the Declaration of Ethics for the publications of the Editorial Board, based on the Sarajevo Declaration on the Integrity and Visibility of Scientific Publications (2017) and the Declaration "Ethical Principles of Scientific Publications" adopted by AIRP (Alliance of Independent Regional Publishers, 2017)
The editorial board of the journal does not do with manuscripts submitted for publication in other editions. In the event of the discovery of this fact, the editorial board of the journal will have to retract (withdraw) such a publication. Information about the retraction of articles is posted on the publication's website, also it can be found in the issues of the journal and the State Comission for Academic Degrees and Titles of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the Council on Ethics of Scientific Publications of AIRP.
The Editorial Bboard carries out academic peer review (double-blind) of all materials submitted to the editorial board for providing evaluation. All the reviewers are acknowledged experts on the subject of peer-reviewed materials; both members of the Editorial Board of the journal and outside experts are mission-driven. The reviews are kept in the publishing house and editorial office for 5 years. The materials are viewed in the order of their arrival at the editorial Board of the journal and published after their approval; the change in the order of review or publication of articles is not provided for. The decision for publication is based on the originality, reliability, scientific significance and relevance of the work in question. The Editorial Council and the Editorial Board of the publication are fully responsible for the decisions made.
The Editorial Board of the journal does not provide any services, including agency services for paid. Articles are accepted only from article writers. No charge is applied for the contributors related to the preparation, inserting and printing of materials. There are no accelerated deadlines for the publication of articles. The journal does not come into line with intermediaries.
The journal is included in the publications listing of the State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles approved for academic degree candidates in the following scientific specialties: 2.5.3 - Friction and wear in machines; 2.5.5 - Processing technique and equipment of mechanical and physico-engineering treatment; 2.5.6 - Mechanical engineering technology; 2.5.7 - Processing technique and pressing machines; 2.5.8 - Welding, allied processes and related technologies; 2.6.17 - Materials science (branch-wise) (technical sciences).

Peer Review Process
Journal edition reviews all materials submitted to the editorial office that correspond to the subject matters for their evaluation. All reviewers hold a PhD of Engineering. All reviewers are recognized experts in the field of the reviewed materials and have papers in the same scope published within the last 3 years. The recommendations of the reviewers are the basis for making a decision on the publication of the article. The review in the form of a copy is submitted to the editorial board of the journal within the time limits set by the editorial board. The reviewers may be members of the editorial board of the journal.
When positive (or negative) reviews of the article in question are received by the editorial board, one of the members of the editorial board, who is in supervision of the section in which this article is supposed to be published, the editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief, observes it and decides on the possibility of its publication or rejection.
The reviewers of the journal follow exclusively "double blind" peer review policy, that is the identities of the reviewer and the author are withheld from reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to make sure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that withhold their identity. For simplicity of this preparation, please make sure of the following when submitting your application: send your information kit accompanied by a Blind manuscript without information about the author and as a separate file.
Information content for a Blind manuscript preparation:
- Besides clear need of removing names and references under the title in the manuscript, some other steps must be taken to make sure that the manuscript is properly prepared for double-blind review. To help in this process, the following key points are required
- Use a third party to refer to work previously performed by the authors, for example, replace any phrases like “as we showed earlier” with “... it was shown earlier [Anonymous, 2017]".
- Make sure that the drawings do not contain any identifiers associated with the authoring. Do not exclude significant references to yourself or other references, but limit references only to articles that are relevant to those who review the submitted article.
- Remove links to funding sources.
- No acknowledgements
- Remove any identifying information from the file names, including the names of the authors, make sure that the document properties are also anonymized.
Publication Frequency
Rules of Publication
