Machines (ISSN 2075-1702) is an international, peer-reviewed journal on machinery and engineering. It publishes research articles, reviews and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: ● manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed ● electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure - if unable to be published in a normal way - can be deposited as supplementary material Scope ● applications of automation ● systems and control engineering ● electronic engineering ● mechanical engineering ● computer engineering ● mechatronics ● robotics ● industrial design ● human-machine-interfaces ● mechanical systems, machines and related components ● machine vision ● history of technology and industrial revolution ● turbo machinery ● machine diagnostics and prognostics (condition monitoring) ● machine design
