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.

機電一體化是精密機械工程、電子控制和系統思維在產品設計和制造過程中的協同組合。它涉及系統、設備和產品的設計，旨在實現基本機械結構和整體控制之間的最佳平衡。本期刊的目的是快速發表以機電一體化實際發展為特色的專題論文。它將涵蓋廣泛的應用領域，包括消費產品設計、儀器儀表、制造方法、計算機集成以及過程和設備控制，并將吸引來自工業和學術研究領域的讀者。將特別重視機電一體化設計理念的創新方面，這些創新說明了通過將功能與嵌入式微處理器控制進行先驗集成可以獲得的好處。一個主要項目將是具有一定程度的計算機智能的機器、設備和系統的設計。該期刊旨在發表該領域的研究進展，重點是應用而不是理論。它還將發揮雙重作用，使這一重要的工程領域得到更多的認可。

Mechatronics創刊于1991年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 工程：電子與電氣全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.0個月 約11周，影響因子指數3.1，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
