About Engineering Research Express

Engineering Research Express™ is a broad, multidisciplinary journal devoted to publishing new experimental and theoretical research covering topics extending across all areas of engineering science including interdisciplinary fields. The journal is committed to fast review and operates a transparent editorial selection and feedback process focused on the scientific rigour of the work, rather than its perceived impact or novelty. The journal is characterized by article length flexibility and a fast-track peer-review process.

Topics of particular interest include:

• Electrical Engineering – including control engineering, quantum engineering, electronic engineering, optical engineering, power engineering and semiconductor engineering.
• Mechanical Engineering – including aeronautical engineering, automotive engineering and vacuum engineering.
• Civil Engineering – including environmental engineering, hydraulic engineering, ocean and geophysical engineering, and structural engineering.
• Chemical Engineering – including bioengineering, food science, chemical synthesis and refining, materials engineering and microfabrication.
• Data/AI Engineering and Robotics – including information engineering, cybersecurity, systems engineering, automation and control, image recognition and processing, Internet of Things, big data and algorithms.
• Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering – including manufacturing engineering, production systems, additive manufacturing, quality and reliability engineering.

• Broad scope: Engineering Research Express has been designed to represent all engineering scientists worldwide with a subject coverage that reflects how engineering today now interfaces with communities extending across physics, materials science, chemistry, bioscience, and the industry sector.
• Inclusive peer-review policy: no subjective assessment is made on the potential future significance or perceived novelty of your paper. Instead, we rigorously assess papers based on the validity of the research, the scientific methodology used, and to ensure all papers meet high ethical standards.
• High standards: Engineering Research Express operates a transparent editorial selection and feedback process focused on scientific validity and rigour. Articles will be peer reviewed by IOP Publishing’s global network of expert reviewers.
• Fast publication: We are committed to providing you with a fast, professional service to ensure rapid first decision, acceptance and publication. Once accepted, your article will be accessible to readers within 24 hours and will include a citable DOI.
• Transfer opportunities: As well as accepting direct submissions, the journal also offers you a quick and easy solution to transfer your manuscript from another IOP Publishing journal if it does not fit that journal’s scope or significance criteria. Articles are transferred along with peer review reports to save time and avoid duplication of work for reviewers.
• Society owned: IOP Publishing is a leading society publisher of advanced physics research. Any profits generated by IOP Publishing are invested in the Institute of Physics, helping to support research, education and outreach around the world.

Engineering Research Express welcomes submissions of the following article types:

• Research Papers: articles of unlimited length that report new research.
• Topical Reviews: articles presenting a snapshot of recent progress in a particular field.
• Technical Notes: brief, methods-based articles of a more technical nature, which make a useful and novel addition to the literature.
• Tutorials: background knowledge for an audience unfamiliar with the subject. Aimed at early career researchers or more experienced researchers moving into a new field, tutorials give an introduction to the topic and are more didactic than a review article.

Engineering Research Express’ statement regarding the inclusion of potentially offensive or inappropriate imagery in submitted papers:

We ask authors to carefully consider both the subject matter and provenance of images included in their work before submitting to the journal. If the submitted images could be potentially offensive to the journal’s readership or violate copyright, Engineering Research Express reserves the right to request that authors seek alternative images or other means to express the same results before the final version is published.

We work with our authors to help make their work as easy to discover as possible. Articles published in Engineering Research Express will be available in relevant indexing services and databases when appropriate.
