TU Delft Open Access journal Mechanical Sciences launched

Mechanical Sciences, an open access journal for Theoretical ans Applied mechanics is launched. The journals is managed by Just Herder as editor in chief and Amin Barari and Nima Tolou working at TU Delft at the department of Biochemical Engineering.

Aims and scope

The journal Mechanical Sciences (MS) intends to be an international forum for dissemination of original contributions in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. The main ambition is to provide a platform for young researchers to build up a portfolio of high quality peer-reviewed journal articles. To this end we employ an open access publication model with moderate page charges, aiming at fast time to publication and great citation opportunity. A large board of reputable Editors is making this possible. The journal will also publish special issues dealing with the current state of the art and future research directions in mechanical sciences. While in-depth research articles are preferred, also review articles and short communications will be considered. We intend and believe to provide a means of publication which complements established journals in the field.

OA Fund TU Delft Library
The journal is partly funded by the Open Access Fund which is in place at TU Delft Library since 2008.
