Important Journals
- Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal ProcessingAnalog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing is an archival peer reviewed journal dedicated to the design and application of analog, radio frequency (RF), and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs) as well as signal processing circuits and systems. It features both new research results and tutorial views and reflects the large volume of cutting-edge research activity in the worldwide field today.
- International Journal of Production ResearchIncludes papers on innovation management, design of products, manufacturing processes, production and logistics systems. Production economics, the essential behaviour of production resources and systems as well as the complex decision problems that arise in design, management and control of production and logistics systems are considered.
- Journal of Applied Polymer ScienceFeaturing research articles and compact reviews, the journal covers all applications of polymers, including membranes, energy conversion and storage, and biomedical implants; as well as all types of polymeric materials, from polysaccharides, to composites, to biodegradable polymers.
- Materials Research InnovationsMaterials Research Innovations covers all areas of materials research with a particular interest in synthesis, processing, and properties from the nanoscale to the microscale to the bulk. Coverage includes all classes of material – ceramics, metals, and polymers; semiconductors and other functional materials; organic and inorganic materials – alone or in combination as composites. Innovation in composition and processing to impart special properties to bulk materials and coatings, and for innovative applications in technology, represents a strong focus.
