Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

The manuscript is original, has not been published previously and is not under consideration by another journal.
The submission fits the JED aims and scope and states the biological question and contribution clearly.
A separate title page and an anonymized manuscript have been prepared for double-blind review.
Organisms, materials, controls, replication, methods and statistical analyses are reported sufficiently for assessment.
Ethics approvals, collection permits, biosafety requirements, funding, competing interests, author contributions and AI-tool use are disclosed where applicable.
Data, code, sequences, specimens and biological materials are deposited or made available as required, with accession numbers and lawful restrictions stated.

Author Guidelines

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.

Privacy Statement

Journal of Engineering Dynamics (JED) respects the privacy of authors, reviewers, editors, readers, research participants and registered users. The journal may collect names, affiliations, contact details, ORCID iDs, account information, submission and review records, correspondence and technical logs needed to operate and secure the journal.

Use and confidentiality

Information is used to manage editorial work, publish accepted articles and metadata, maintain the scholarly record and meet ethical or legal obligations. Access to non-public material is limited to authorized people who require it for journal operations.

Research information

Authors must remove personal or sensitive information that they are not authorized to publish. Human-participant data, precise locations of threatened species and other restricted biological information must be handled according to consent, ethics, conservation and legal requirements.

Sharing, retention and security

JED does not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed by hosting, DOI, indexing, preservation, email or security services required to run the journal. Editorial records may be retained to document decisions and preserve research integrity. Privacy questions should be sent to the official contact address.
