Aim & Scope

Aim

Engineering Informatics and Digital Transformation provides a peer-reviewed venue for engineering informatics and digital transformation. The journal is intended for engineering informatics researchers, manufacturing systems teams, digital-transformation scholars, and applied data engineers. Its editorial goal is to publish articles that make the research question, method, evidence, and limitations visible enough for readers to evaluate and reuse.

Core Scope

The journal considers manuscripts in the following areas:

  • Original studies in engineering informatics with transparent assumptions and evaluable evidence.
  • Research on digital twins that explains methods, data, and interpretation limits.
  • Applied work involving industrial data systems where practical relevance is supported by analysis rather than assertion.
  • Interdisciplinary work connecting digital transformation to adjacent scientific, engineering, health, environmental, social, or policy questions.

Article Types Considered

The journal may consider engineering informatics papers, digital-twin studies, industrial case reports, data-integration papers, implementation studies, and reviews. Article type should be selected according to the main contribution, not according to desired length or perceived prestige.

Method and Evidence Expectations

For this field, manuscripts should pay particular attention to:

  • system architecture
  • data pipeline
  • industrial context
  • validation strategy
  • change-management constraints

Out of Scope

The journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely promotional, lack a research question, duplicate previously published work, make unsupported clinical or policy claims, present unverifiable results, or fall outside engineering informatics and digital transformation. Manuscripts that are technically sound but do not fit the journal's subject identity may be returned before peer review.

Editorial Standard

The journal does not require spectacular novelty. It requires a clear contribution, appropriate citations, transparent methods, relevant ethical approvals where needed, and a limitations section. Reviewers and editors should ask whether the work is trustworthy and useful for its intended readership.
