STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new, international, open access journal, Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis. Richard Clegg will serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis seeks to provide a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured case studies in engineering failure analysis and will form an essential compendium for practitioners in this field. The scope of the journal will include case studies of component failures in mechanical, civil, aerospace, mining, oil and gas, medical, electrical, transportation, power generation, process and forensic engineering, although failure of engineering components in other disciplines will also be considered.
Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis is the first title in a series of open access journals called 'Case Studies in …' to be launched by Elsevier within the field of engineering. Journals in the series will all follow the article based publishing model which allows for immediate publication of final version of a paper without waiting for other articles to be ready to compile a full issue.
The first articles of Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis are now available to view online on ScienceDirect.
