Focus and Scope

The title is oriented to engineers, researchers, heads of industrial enterprises and research organizations, post-graduate students and applicants for scientific degrees and academic ranks.

The main tasks are generalization of scientific and practical achievements in the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Robots, Radio engineering and communications, increase scientific and practical qualifications as researchers and industry representatives. The journal covers the following fields of science:

  • System analysis, control and information processing
  • Mathematical modeling, numerical methods and software complexes
  • Measurement instruments and methods (by measurement types)
  • Navigation instruments
  • Optical and optical-electronic instruments and complexes
  • Methods and instruments for control and diagnostics of materials, products, substances and natural environment
  • Metrology and metrological provision
  • Information-measuring and control systems
  • Medical instruments, systems and products
  • Computerization and control of technological processes and productions
  • Management in organizational systems

The main concept is the publication of the latest achievements in these areas, including the results of national and international research.

The results of basic and applied research, as well as the results, obtained under production conditions are publishes in the journal.

Peer Review Process

1. The journal reviews all submitted to editor’s office materials that correspond to its subject matter to make a peer-review.

2. All reviewers are acknowledged experts in themes of materials to be reviewed and have publications on the themes of the reviewed paper during previous 3 years.

3. An authorized person submits manuscript to reviewer in hard copy. The author does not propose a potential reviewer.

4. Manuscript is submitted to the reviewer responsible for a specific subdivision of the journal. A paper is assessed according to criteria: relevance of research, novelty of the conducted research, matching content and originality level of the paper, contribution to the development of corresponding scientific areas, practical application in industry and economy.

5.Type of review is unilateral and anonymous (“blind”). Author does not know about manuscript reviewer. As a rule, review length constitutes 1 or 2 pages A4 format.

6. A review is submitted to the Editor in Chief deputy (responsible for publication), who informs author/authors about reviews. In case of positive review, the paper is accepted for publication and the process of its editorial processing, arranging details and integration into issue.

7. In case when the manuscript needs improvement, it can be accepted for publication only after correction of all remarks. In this case, the author takes paper, makes improvements, additions, explanations, and processes of review and manuscript submission are repeated until the manuscript is either accepted for publication or finally rejected.

8. If manuscript receives a negative review those of inaccurate information violating ethical standards of scientific publications, it is not accepted for publication.

9. Reviews are kept within publishers and in editor’s office of the journal during 5 years.

10. Editor’s office of the journal sends review copies to the author of submitted manuscripts or reasonable rejections, and takes responsibility to send review copies to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation upon request.

11. Publisher provides persistent storage of the published scientific articles, their availability to the authors upon request.

12. Publisher provides the established order legal deposit peer-reviewed scientific publications in the Information Telegraph Agency of Russia (ITAR-TASS), the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications, the National Library of the Udmurt Republic.
