Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering

The current literature on maintenance engineering is limited and scattered over a wide range of publications. The Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering (JQME) aims to bring together developments in maintenance and quality that are of interest to both practitioners and researchers. Maintenance engineering is one of the "Cinderellas" of the organizational world, yet it has a crucial role to play in minimizing process variability and sustaining process stability - the essential ingredients of product quality. In todays high-tech, quality driven, competition-orientated business world, opinions have changed about maintenance engineering. Increasingly sophisticated technology demands highly skilled and knowledgeable engineers to ensure it consistently operates to the highest standards, so that product quality is not compromised. JQME keeps you abreast of the latest developments and ensures you keep the pace up - while keeping your costs down. This exciting journal looks at maintenance engineering from a positive standpoint, and clarifies its recently elevated status as a highly technical, scientific, and complex field. Typical areas examined include: Budget and control Equipment management Maintenance information systems Process capability and maintenance Process monitoring techniques Reliability-based maintenance Replacement and life cycle costs TQM and maintenance JQME appeals to a large audience, including but not limited to industrial and manufacturing engineers, information specialists, managers and Plant Supervisors.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

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.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
