About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Objectives 

This refereed bi-monthly journal publishes significant research, theoretical works, technical and methodological applications, case studies, short communications, and surveys and reviews concerned with all aspects of Industrial Engineering. The journal is intended to provide articles of interest to both researchers and practitioners. The journal is subscription-based but offers individual per-paper Open Access. 

Scope

The journal emphasizes the use of engineering design and analysis and strives to balance research and application. The journal covers all aspects of industrial engineering, particularly:

  • Data mining and Computational Intelligence
  • Production Planning and Control
  • Operation Research
  • Service Engineering (Healthcare, etc.)
  • Sustainability (Energy, Environment, etc.) 
  • Information Systems and Technology
  • Management of Technology
  • Manufacturing 
  • Work Measurement, Human Factors, and Ergonomics
  • Quality, Reliability, Maintenance Engineering
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Logistics and Material Handling
  • Product Design and Development
  • Statistical Analysis
  • Modeling and Simulation,
  • Homeland Security (Defense, Disaster Preparedness, etc.)
  • Manufacturing Process
  • Manufacturing Systems

The journal encourages interdisciplinary studies requiring the use of Industrial Engineering techniques and methodologies. From time to time, the journal publishes invited keynote papers and special issues devoted to specific topics.

Peer Review Process

The language of the journal is English. Interested authors should submit their manuscripts for review online after registration in the system. Manuscripts should be prepared following the Authors' Guidelines.

All technical submissions will be reviewed by Editor-In-Chief, Associate Editors (Section Editors), and/or at least two referees, well-versed in the subject matter developments, to provide an objective evaluation. Acceptance of manuscripts will be strictly based on the review report of the referees and recommendation of Associate Editors. Manuscripts will be reviewed promptly and scheduled for publication as soon as possible.

To provide continuity and context for readers of this journal, authors must also cite all related papers published previously in the International Journal of Industrial Engineering when they prepare manuscripts.
