Manuscript Preparation

Authors should read the aims and scope before submission. Manuscripts must be original, clearly written and not under review elsewhere.

Article types

• Research articles
• Review articles
• Methods, design and instrumentation papers
• Computational and experimental studies
• Technical notes and short communications

Engineering reporting

State the engineering problem, requirements, assumptions, governing principles and contribution. Describe materials, geometry, boundary and initial conditions, apparatus, sensors, calibration, sampling, controls, numerical methods, mesh or time-step convergence, validation and uncertainty. Use SI units and define all symbols.

Evidence and validation

Compare proposed methods or designs with appropriate baselines, theory, standards or prior systems. Report repeatability, error, sensitivity, failure modes, operating limits and practical constraints. Computational work should include verification and validation; experimental work should document test conditions and measurement uncertainty.

Data, code and safety

Include a Data and Code Availability Statement. Deposit datasets, code, CAD or model files and supporting documentation where permissions allow. Identify applicable engineering standards, laboratory and field safety procedures, approvals and risk controls. Do not omit information needed to evaluate hazards responsibly.

Review files

Provide a separate title page and anonymized manuscript for double-blind review. Disclose funding, competing interests, author contributions and material use of generative AI.

Submission status

Online submissions are temporarily closed while JED completes its editorial setup.
