Proceedings and Special Issue

Special Issues in Journal of Micromechnics and Microengineering (JMM)/Smart Materials and Structures (SMS)

Authors are welcome to submit their contents presented in PowerMEMS 2017 to Special Issues in JMM/SMS. Note that the publication will be through the normal peer review process. Original manuscript in the proceedings will not be accepted due to its short length. Authors are strongly suggested to revise the manuscript by elaborating the introduction, adding more data/description for the results, adding more references, and so on. Note also that overlap with your proceeding manuscript in PowerMEMS is not the issue, because your manuscript will not be published in Journal of Physics Conference Series when accepted for SMS.

PowerMEMS 2017 submission guidelines Smart Materials and Structures (SMS)

We are delighted to welcome submissions from this year’s PowerMEMS conference, held in Kanazawa, Japan from November 14-17th.
Smart Materials and Structures is a multi-disciplinary journal dedicated to technical advances in (and applications of) smart materials systems and structures, including: intelligent systems, sensing and actuation, adaptive structures, and active control. We invite you to submit Research Papers, up to 9000 words in length, containing original work for peer review, as part of our special issue ‘Selected Papers from PowerMEMS 2017’.
The submission deadline for this issue will be February 1st 2018
Submission instructions for invited authors
When you are ready to submit your invited paper to this collection, please visit:
https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/sms-iop
When completing the online submission form:

•Please choose 'Special Issue Article' when prompted to select your article type.

•Choose ‘Selected Papers from PowerMEMS 2017’' from the list of options in the drop-down menu at the bottom of the online submission form.

•Please complete all other sections on the submission form.

Important message for submitting authors
Please note that Smart Materials & Structures does not publish proceedings papers. All Special Issue articles must comprise new, significant and unpublished work. We will only consider novel research, which presents an advance beyond previously published literature. Papers submitted for possible inclusion in this collection can contain work presented at PowerMEMS 2017, providing they also include new, unpublished results which further advance, or offer further insight into, a particular sub-field. As a guide, we strongly encourage submitting authors to ensure that their submissions to SMS include at least 50%, new, unpublished results (Note: Overlap with your proceeding manuscript in PowerMEMS is not the issue, because your manuscript will not be published in Journal of Physics Conference Series when accepted for SMS). Papers which do not meet this standard may be rejected without peer-review.

Published papers
Papers will be published immediately upon acceptance and collated into an online collection. Therefore, there will be no delay in the publication of accepted papers. Each paper will be published in the issue which is open and then collected in virtual collection.

SMS has no page charges. The page limitation for Research Papers is 10 journal pages (around 9000 words)
Papers must fit the scope of SMS: http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0964-1726/page/Scope
