Editorial Policies

Focus and Scope

Polimesin mostly publishes studies in the core areas of mechanical engineering such as energy conversion, machine and mechanism design, and manufacturing technology. As science and technology develop rapidly in combination with other disciplines such as electrical, Polimesin also adapts the new facts by accepting manuscripts in mechatronics. In Biomechanic, Mechanical study in muscoletal and bio-tissue has been widely recognized to help better life quality for disabled people as well physical rehabilitation work.
 
Such a wide range of Polimesin could be published, but it still has criteria to apply mechanical systems and principles. Exceeding the limitation has been a common reason for rejection by those outside the scope. Using chemical principles more than mechanical ones in material engineering has been a common reason for rejection after submission.  Excessive exploration of the management within the discipline of Industrial Engineering in manufacturing technology scope is also unacceptable. The sub-scope biomechanics that focuses on ergonomics and does not study movement involving applied force on the bio-tissue is also not suitable for submission.

The editor will read the submitted manuscript to fit the limitation. 

Energy Conversion

Polimesin accepts manuscripts written in the field of energy conversion with several limitations. Given the broad field of energy conversion, Polimesin has limited the scope to mechanical and thermal energy conversion. Furthermore, the scope itself constrainted by several criteria. In more detail, Polimesin only considers on study of the mechanical properties and design of conversion equipment to improve energy efficiency during the conversion process. Therefore, the topic of chemical processes and reactions that indirectly or directly affect the efficiency of thermal energy conversion is outside the scope of Polimesin.


Machine and Mechanism Design

The design of the parts to be shaped by casting, the design of the parts to be joined by welding, the design of the parts to be obtained by machining, shafts, hubs, shafts, tolerances, norm series, design types, and basic principles. Hub connection shape, bearing types and arrangement, the significance of lightness and light machine components, the design of sealing elements, low-cost designs, and analysis of various designs.


Manufacturing Technology

Technical skills, and identifying and resolving production problems in product manufacturing. with an emphasis on metal processing technologies and how they are used in the contemporary manufacturing sector, automated manufacturing, tools, die-making, and machining.


Material Engineering 

To comprehend the basic physical causes of material behavior to develop and create new, improved materials, optimize the properties of current materials through processing and structural change, and comprehend the reasons behind some materials' unanticipated failures.

To deal with a range of materials, such as composites, electrical, magnetic, and optical materials, metals and alloys, ceramics and glasses, and polymers. They also deal with a wide range of other cutting-edge materials and techniques, including biomaterials like surgical mesh and artificial tissue, nanomaterials like graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), 3D printing materials, specialized sensors, and smart materials.  to combine biology, chemistry, and physics to create new goods, many of which could significantly enhance our quality of life and lessen our environmental impact.


Mechatronics

At the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and computing or the nexus of computing, electronics, and mechanical. Working with large industrial robots, smaller robots for pick-and-place tasks, drones, control systems for food and drink product bottling or packaging, amusement park ride control systems, and prototype development to create and maintain automated machinery. This covers sectors like manufacturing, mining, transportation, robotics, aviation, and defense.

 

Biomechanics

Biomechanics is the study of forces acting on and generated within the body and of the effects of these forces on the tissues, fluids, or materials used for diagnosis, treatment, or research purposes. The study of biological systems' composition and operation using mechanical techniques.

Applying mechanical principles to the human body's musculoskeletal system is to comprehend the science underlying movement. It studies basic mechanics in two dimensions, including dynamics, kinematics, and statics, for example, it looks at the biomechanics of running, jumping, and strolling.

Publication Ethics

Jurnal Polimesin is a peer-reviewed electronic international journal. This statement clarifies ethical behaviour of all parties involved in the act of publishing an article in this journal, including the author, the chief editor, the Editorial Board, the peer-reviewer and the publisher. This statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. The publication ethics is a norm that must be obeyed by the author who will publish his scientific work in the publication media. The basic norms for publication are prioritizing, morality, scientific integrity and honesty

Duties of Authors

  1. Reporting Standards: 
    Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.
  2. Data Access and Retention: 
    Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
  3. Originality and Plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
  4. Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication: 
    An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
  5. Acknowledgement of Sources: 
    Proper acknowledgement of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
  6. Authorship of the Paper: 
    Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
  7. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: 
    All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or another substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
  8. Fundamental errors in published works: 
    When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
