Aim & Scope

Aim

Progress in Engineering Science and Technology provides a peer-reviewed venue for engineering science and technology. The journal is intended for engineering researchers, technology developers, and applied science teams across industrial and public-sector settings. 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 design with transparent assumptions and evaluable evidence.
  • Research on manufacturing technologies that explains methods, data, and interpretation limits.
  • Applied work involving energy systems where practical relevance is supported by analysis rather than assertion.
  • Interdisciplinary work connecting applied mechanics to adjacent scientific, engineering, health, environmental, social, or policy questions.

Article Types Considered

The journal may consider experimental engineering studies, design reports, simulation papers, technology assessments, case 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:

  • engineering problem definition
  • material or system specification
  • experimental or simulation protocol
  • uncertainty
  • practical 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 science and technology. 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.
