Journal Title：Mechatronics

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The purpose of this journal is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in mechatronics. It will cover a wide range of application areas including consumer product design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, computer integration and process and device control, and will attract a readership from across the industrial and academic research spectrum. Particular importance will be attached to aspects of innovation in mechatronics design philosophy which illustrate the benefits obtainable by an a priori integration of functionality with embedded microprocessor control. A major item will be the design of machines, devices and systems possessing a degree of computer based intelligence. The journal seeks to publish research progress in this field with an emphasis on the applied rather than the theoretical. It will also serve the dual role of bringing greater recognition to this important area of engineering.

機(jī)電一體化是精密機(jī)械工程、電子控制和系統(tǒng)思維在產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)和制造過(guò)程中的協(xié)同組合。它涉及系統(tǒng)、設(shè)備和產(chǎn)品的設(shè)計(jì)，旨在實(shí)現(xiàn)基本機(jī)械結(jié)構(gòu)和整體控制之間的最佳平衡。本期刊的目的是快速發(fā)表以機(jī)電一體化實(shí)際發(fā)展為特色的專題論文。它將涵蓋廣泛的應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域，包括消費(fèi)產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)、儀器儀表、制造方法、計(jì)算機(jī)集成以及過(guò)程和設(shè)備控制，并將吸引來(lái)自工業(yè)和學(xué)術(shù)研究領(lǐng)域的讀者。將特別重視機(jī)電一體化設(shè)計(jì)理念的創(chuàng)新方面，這些創(chuàng)新說(shuō)明了通過(guò)將功能與嵌入式微處理器控制進(jìn)行先驗(yàn)集成可以獲得的好處。一個(gè)主要項(xiàng)目將是具有一定程度的計(jì)算機(jī)智能的機(jī)器、設(shè)備和系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)。該期刊旨在發(fā)表該領(lǐng)域的研究進(jìn)展，重點(diǎn)是應(yīng)用而不是理論。它還將發(fā)揮雙重作用，使這一重要的工程領(lǐng)域得到更多的認(rèn)可。

Mechatronics創(chuàng)刊于1991年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 工程：電子與電氣全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.0個(gè)月 約11周，影響因子指數(shù)3.1，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
