Instructions to Authors

Instructions for Authors

Aims and Scope. Materials and Manufacturing Processes is a journal in the English language providing an international forum for current developments and future direction in the area of materials and manufacturing processes. Manuscripts may fall into several categories including full articles, solicited reviews or commentary, unsolicited reviews or commentary, and book reviews.

Submission of Manuscripts. Materials and Manufacturing Processes receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their Manuscript Central website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/LMMP. Manuscript Central allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a webbased platform.
