About the journal

Engineering Studies is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to the scholarly study of engineers and engineering. Its mission is threefold:
1. to advance critical analysis in historical, social, cultural, political, philosophical, rhetorical, and organizational studies of engineers and engineering;
2. to help build and serve diverse communities of researchers interested in engineering studies;
3. to link scholarly work in engineering studies with broader discussions and debates about engineering education, research, practice, policy, and representation.
The editors of Engineering Studies are interested in papers that consider the following questions:
• How does this paper enhance critical understanding of engineers or engineering?
• What are the relationships among the technical and nontechnical dimensions of engineering practices, and how do these relationships change over time and from place to place?
Researchers in technical communication, technical work, and engineering education research should take special note of the journal's emphasis on critical analysis. It does not publish manuscripts that seek only to improve the effectiveness of engineering education and engineering work in existing terms.
Engineering Studies is published three times yearly by Routledge, an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, beginning in 2009.

Vision Statement
The field of engineering studies is a diverse, interdisciplinary arena of scholarly research built around the question: What are the relationships among the technical and the nontechnical dimensions of engineering practices, and how do these relationships change over time and from place to place? Addressing and responding to this question can sometimes involve researchers as critical participants in the practices they study, including, for example, engineering formation, engineering work, engineering design, equity in engineering (gender, racial, ethnic, class, geopolitical), and engineering service to society.
Engineering Studies juxtaposes contributions from distinct disciplinary and analytical perspectives to encourage authors and readers to look beyond familiar theoretical, topical, temporal, and geographical boundaries for insight and guidance. The diversity in the editorial staff and board is designed to map the diversity in the field and support its persistence. While prospective authors are invited to reflect on and anticipate how their work might prove helpful to others elsewhere, both within the academy and beyond, they can also feel comfortable imagining familiar audiences and producing familiar modes of analysis and interpretation. The heterogeneity of perspectives in engineering studies is its lifeblood, and the goal is high quality scholarship in every case. Engineering Studies is indexed in: ISI Science Citation Index Expanded™; ISI Social Sciences Citation Index® and Scopus™.
Subjects covered by this journal
Instructions to Authors
Engineering Studies considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Engineering Studies , that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere.
Submissions to Engineering Studies must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.
Manuscript preparation and submission
1. General Guidelines (including style and referencing information)
1.1 A scholar can appear in the journal only once per year (volume). A scholar can appear as lead author only once every two years.
1.2 All submissions should be made online at the Engineering Studies Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site, submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Papers can be created using a standard program such as MSWord. Figures should be uploaded as separate files. This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
1.3 Manuscripts submitted to Engineering Studies go through a double-blind peer review process. Please remove all self-identifying information from your manuscript, including footnotes that might identify you.
1.4 Manuscripts submitted or previously published elsewhere will not be considered. A manuscript previously published in a conference proceedings must be substantially changed before Engineering Studies will consider it. The editors will consider special exceptions.
1.5 In general, manuscripts should be no longer than 10,000 words, including notes and references. Authors are required to provide a word count with their submission. The Editors will consider proposals for longer articles, especially for historical and ethnographic accounts. Please contact the Journal with your proposal prior to submitting your manuscript.
1.6 Text should be formatted in Microsoft Word or RTF formats, and should appear in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. Include footnotes rather than endnotes.
1.7 For the purposes of review, illustrations and figures can be included as part of the manuscript in JPEG, TIFF, GIF, or PSD formats. At the point of publication, each illustration must be submitted as a separate file and should be of the highest quality possible (see 2 below). Authors are responsible for securing copyright permissions prior to publication (see 4 below). Note: The editors invite authors to submit images for possible publication on the journal cover.
1.8 Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title; abstract; keywords; main text, with footnotes; appendices; references; tables with captions; figure captions.
1.9 Engineering Studies is an English-language journal. Authors who seek to improve their writing skills in English may consider using the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences. SPi specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English. Visit http://www.prof-editing.com for more information about SPi's services and rates.
2. Figures
If a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors must follow these guidelines for the submission of illustrations and figures:
- It is in the author's interests to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please be sure that all imported scanned material is scanned at the appropriate resolution: 1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale and 300dpi for colour.
- Figures must be saved separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the paper file.
- Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
- All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. figure 1, figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1(a), figure 1(b)).
- Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
- The filename for a graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure 2a.
3. Colour
The Journal has no free colour pages within its annual page allowance. Authors of accepted papers who propose publishing figures in colour in the print version should consult Taylor & Francis at proof stage to agree a financial contribution to colour reproduction costs. Figures that appear in black-and-white in the print version of the Journal will appear in colour in the online edition, assuming colour originals are supplied.
4. Reproduction of copyright material
As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproductions as well as 'derivative reproduction', where the contributor has created a new figure or table that derives substantially from a copyrighted source. Authors are themselves responsible for the payment of any permission fees required by the copyright owner. Copies of permission letters should be sent with the manuscript upon submission to the Editors(s).
5. Supplementary online material
