Aim & Scope
The International Journal of Materials and Engineering Technology (ISSN:2667-4033; TIJMET) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary international open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. In particular, the journal aims to report advanced materials with interesting experimental and theoretical results in as much detail for industrial applications. To ensure a high standard research publication, each manuscript is reviewed by two experts.
TIJMET is to publish basic and applied research, process, high technology and engineering of all sciences, mainly in materials science. All types of engineering materials are considered, and all scales of processing, analysis and design from nano- and micro-scale devices and systems to large structural components. The Journal aims to provide a platform for the publication of original research on all areas of alloys, composites and nano-engineered materials, with emphasis being placed on evaluation and modeling of engineering details and concepts. The content is broad and widely relevant to materials researchers, engineers and designers in academia and in industry. The emphasis is placed on developing both practice and theory relevant to the field of materials engineering and science, with appropriate links established to processing, characterization and simulation.
Basic research papers are welcomed as well as proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to discuss the issues relative to application in the short or long-term in various areas, such as aerospace, automotive and other surface transportation, infrastructure, ship-building, off-shore piping, and recreational products.

Manuscript Submission
Types of Publications
The International Journal of Materials and Engineering Technology (TIJMET) has no restrictions on the length of manuscripts, provided that the text is concise and comprehensive. Full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. The International Journal of Materials and Engineering Technology requires that authors publish all experimental controls and make full datasets available.
Manuscripts
submitted to The International Journal of Materials and Engineering Technology should
neither been published before nor be under consideration for publication in
another journal. The main article types are as follows:
Articles: Original
research manuscripts. The journal considers all original research manuscripts
provided that the work reports scientifically sound experiments and provides a
substantial amount of new information. Authors should not unnecessarily divide
their work into several related manuscripts, although Short Communications of
preliminary, but significant, results will be considered. Quality and impact of
the study will be considered during peer review.
Reviews: These provide concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in a given area of research. Systematic reviews should follow the PRISMA guidelines.
Short Communications is a short paper addressing new ideas, controversial opinions, “Negative” results and much more.

Confirm that neither the manuscript nor any parts of its content are currently under consideration or published in another journal. Any prior submissions of the manuscript to the journals must be acknowledged. The names of proposed and excluded reviewers should be provided in the cover letter.
Manuscript Preparation
General Considerations
Research manuscripts should comprise:
Front matter: Title, Author list, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords
Research manuscript sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions.
Back matter: Supplementary Materials, Acknowledgments, Author Contributions, Conflicts of Interest, References.
Review manuscripts should comprise the front matter, literature review sections and the back matter. The template file can also be used to prepare the front and back matter of your review manuscript. It is not necessary to follow the remaining structure.
Abbreviations should be defined in parentheses the first time they appear in the abstract, main text, and in figure or table captions and used consistently thereafter.
SI Units (International System of Units) should be used. Imperial, US customary and other units should be converted to SI units whenever possible
Equations: If you are using Word, please use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on. Equations should be editable by the editorial office and not appear in a picture format.
Front Matter
These sections should appear in all manuscript types
Title: The title of your manuscript should be concise, specific and relevant. It should identify if the study reports trial data, or is a systematic review, meta-analysis or replication study.
Author List and Affiliations: Authors' full first and last names must be provided. The initials of any middle names can be added. The standard format is used for affiliations: complete address information including city, zip code, state/province, country, and all email addresses. At least one author should be designated as corresponding author, and his or her email address and other details should be included at the end of the affiliation section.
Abstract: The abstract should be a total of about 200 words maximum. The abstract should be a single paragraph and should follow the style of structured abstracts, but without headings: 1) Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; 2) Methods: Describe briefly the main methods or treatments applied. Include any relevant preregistration numbers, and species and strains of any animals used. 3) Results: Summarize the article's main findings; and 4) Conclusion: Indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article: it must not contain results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
Keywords: Three to ten pertinent keywords need to be added after the abstract. We recommend that the keywords are specific to the article, yet reasonably common within the subject discipline.
Introduction: The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance, including specific hypotheses being tested. The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully and key publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the main conclusions. Keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists working outside the topic of the paper.
