About the Journal

The International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Smart Technology (IJOMEST) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal published by the Asosiasi Diseminasi Rekayasa dan Inovasi Teknologi (ADRIT), Indonesia. The journal serves as a platform for researchers, academics, engineers, and practitioners to share original contributions in the field of mechanical engineering and related disciplines. All manuscripts are published in English and issued three times per year, in January, May, and August.

Aim and Scope

IJOMEST welcomes original research articles, review articles, and technical papers that advance knowledge in mechanical engineering and smart technology. The scope of the journal covers, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Manufacturing Engineering: machining processes, CNC technology, additive manufacturing, precision engineering, and production systems
  • Materials Engineering: mechanical properties of materials, composite materials, material characterization, heat treatment, and failure analysis
  • Energy Systems and Thermal Engineering: heat transfer, thermodynamics, renewable energy, solar energy, biomass energy, drying technology, and energy efficiency
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics: computational fluid dynamics (CFD), flow analysis, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic systems
  • Design and Structural Engineering: machine design, stress analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), structural integrity, and fatigue
  • Mechatronics and Automation: robotics, control systems, sensors and actuators, and industrial automation
  • Smart Technology and Industry 4.0: Internet of Things (IoT) in manufacturing, artificial intelligence applications in engineering, digital twin technology, and smart manufacturing
  • Maintenance and Reliability Engineering: condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, and failure mode analysis
  • Environmental and Sustainable Engineering: green manufacturing, lifecycle assessment, emission reduction, and sustainable energy systems

Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review process conducted by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. The editorial board makes the final decision on acceptance based on the reviewers' evaluations. Authors are expected to revise their manuscripts in accordance with the reviewers' comments prior to final acceptance.

Publication Ethics

IJOMEST upholds the highest standards of publication ethics in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Plagiarism, data fabrication, duplicate submission, and authorship misconduct are strictly prohibited. All submitted manuscripts are screened for plagiarism prior to peer review. A similarity index of no more than 20% is required for a manuscript to proceed to the review stage.
