The Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance publishes contributions on all aspects of materials selection, design, processing, characterization, and evaluation. The scope includes all materials used in engineering applications: those that typically result in components for larger systems.
Relationships between material type, secondary processing, and component performance are emphasized. Improvement of materials properties through processes such as casting, forming, heat treating, surface modification and coating, fabrication, and the control of these processes is presented. Testing and characterization are demonstrated through mechanical and physical tests, NDE, metallography, failure analysis, corrosion resistance, chemical analysis, surface characterization, and microanalysis of surfaces, features and fractures.
A manuscript will be published according to subject matter as either a "review", a "peer-reviewed paper" or a "technical note." Assignment will be made by the Editorial Office, but author guidance is appreciated.
All manuscripts, including symposia, will be judged by one or two qualified reviewers, assigned by the Editor or an Associate Editor. The review will be conducted against established criteria to determine technical quality. The reviewers each submit a recommendation to the editorial office regarding the merit of the manuscript, but the Editor or Associate Editor provides a final decision on acceptance of the paper for publication.
Submission for publication is representation that neither the manuscript nor the basic information in the manuscript has been copyrighted, published, or submitted for publication elsewhere. Prior publication is a basis for rejection except under special circumstances such as appearance in a conference or symposium proceedings that had very limited circulation. The prior publication history should be clearly noted on the manuscript. If the manuscript is under a prior copyright but still appropriate for publication in JMEP the author must have permission of the prior copyright holder for JMEP to print the manuscript and to include it in an online version of the publication.
JMEP publishes three classes of papers:
Reviews: Authors who intend to write extensive reviews are invited to submit an extended abstract (400-500 words) and a listing of section headings to the Editor prior to submission of the complete manuscript. It is expected that this prior discussion and planning of the paper will facilitate rapid publication.
Peer-Reviewed Papers: Manuscripts should represent completed original work embodying the results of extensive field, plant, laboratory, or theoretical investigation, or new interpretations of existing problems. Material must be considered to have significant permanent value. In addition to technical acceptability, material should be presented clearly and concisely in English.
Technical Notes: This classification provides more rapid publication of short items. Abstracts and divisional headings are not used. The length for a Technical Note should be about 1,000 words of text, accompanied by whatever figures and tables may be required to support the text. Technical notes may be of the following categories:
- Immediate current interest.
- Discussion of reviews, peer-reviewed papers or technical notes, which makes a contribution to a previously-published article by providing confirmation or additional interpretation; it will be referred to all original authors for a reply, which will be published concurrently.
- Announcements and summaries of computations and computer programs or other compilations which are available on request from the author or a specified agency.
Manuscript Preparation
1. Manuscripts submitted to JMEP should be based on Word files with only essential formatting included (Bold, Italic, etc.). Any extraneous formatting (double column text, embedded figures/tables, margin adjustments, etc.) should be removed. Manuscript text, references, figure captions and tables should all be included in one single document; Art should be included in separate documents.
2. Submit art at print size as separate .tif or .eps files at 300 DPI resolution for photos and micrographs, and at 1200 DPI resolution for line drawings, and at 600 DPI for combination grayscale/line drawings. Art embedded into a Word document defaults to 72 DPI, resulting in low resolution not suitable for print production. Include micron bars on all micrographs. Color printing of photographic material can be arranged, but will involve a cost billed to the author. Authors should contact Diane Whitelaw, Production Coordinator, diane.whitelaw@asminternational.org; phone 440/338-5151, ext. 5240, regarding specific papers. For previously published figures and tables, written confirmation of permission to reprint should be included for each item along with the manuscript at submission.
3. The full contact address of the author for correspondence must be provided and will be included in the printed JMEP article. Also include contact information for coauthors. If there is only one author, please provide contact information for an assistant or coworker as backup.
4. The title of the contribution should be succinct (no greater than 15 words) and clearly describe the focus of the work. The abstract is the author's summary of a scientific paper and is included in the review procedure. It should indicate newly observed facts, conclusions, and the essential parts of any new theory, treatment, apparatus, technique, etc. It should be concise and informative and only in exceptional cases exceed 200 words.
5. The required Reference format is shown in the section entitled STYLING OF REFERENCES. Reference to unpublished work that is difficult to obtain (such as classified or secret works) should be kept to a minimum. The editor may ask for further clarification or substantiation of such references. The title for all journal references should be included.
6. Extensive revision at the author's option of text or figures in proof is costly and will be charged to the author. Typographical errors may be corrected and references updated without charge.
7. There are no facilities for translating or making editorial revisions of contributions written in a foreign language.
8. The policy of the Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance is to use the International System of Units (SI). For guidelines, see National Bureau of Standards Special Publication 003?003?02380?9 (for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402). If other units are required for special situations, a conversion to SI must be provided in parentheses or in a table.
9. Avoid the use of trade names and proprietary information whenever possible. Such use can occasionally be justified if this is the best way to specify a particular material or process. Company name and location (city, state, and country) must accompany trade name use.
10. A series of papers dealing with the separate aspects of a subject should be cross-referenced. Divisions, such as Part I and Part II, are not recommended as they complicate the review procedure and abstract listings. If such divisions are considered essential, they should be justified by the author at the time of submission and are subject to approval in review.
11. A Table of Symbols and their corresponding dimensional units should be included when symbols are used extensively throughout a paper.
12. The Copyright Transfer form must be completed before the manuscript can be published. It is preferable to include the form at the time of submission. If the article is not published in JMEP, the copyright transfer will not take effect. See section entitled COPYRIGHT POLICY that follows. The copyright transfer form can be downloaded from http://www.asminternational.org/pdf/JMEPCT03.pdf or accessed through the Manuscript Central site.

Symposium Papers
Publication of Symposium Papers in the Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance
There are special situations when it is desirable to publish a group of papers concurrently in JMEP. Typically, these arise when a technical committee has organized a limited meeting program of two or three half-day sessions on a particular theme. The material must be original, of high quality, and closely correlated but not sufficient in volume to justify a monograph or proceedings-type publication. A high percentage of symposia papers would likely be published as separate JMEP articles, but the authors and committees feel there is an additional benefit from concurrent publication.
To obtain approval, the chairman of the symposium program should write to the Editor outlining the symposium scope and the papers to be considered, with abstracts if available. On receipt of this information, the Editor will determine suitability of the material for a focused issue. All manuscripts in the symposium will be reviewed according to JMEP standard review procedure.
Copyright Policy
JMEP is subject to the U.S. Copyright Law which became effective on January 1, 1978. Accordingly, the signed copyright transfer form (Adobe PDF format) must be received in the Editorial Office before an article can be processed for publication.
