Scope

Designs (ISSN 2411-9660) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal which provides a unifying research framework for a wide range of engineering designs of disciplines and industrial applications, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automation, civil engineering, mechatronics, aerospace engineering, bioengineering, energy engineering, industrial engineering and manufacturing systems are of interest. The primary aim of Designs is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and findings from researchers across different disciplines. The Journal will publish original research papers, research review papers, short communication, book reviews and special issues organized by qualified scientists in their expertise areas. Designs encourages researchers to publish the results of their recent theoretical and experimental developments, as well as novel proposals in as much detail as possible so that results can be reproduced. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of an article. Join the conversation about this journal
Quartiles

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
