# International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (international-journal-of-machine-tools-and-manufacture)

## Journal positioning

The International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (IJMTM) is a leading
archival journal for **precision and advanced manufacturing science**: the mechanics
of machining and forming processes, machine-tool dynamics, precision metrology,
surface integrity, and novel manufacturing processes. Its center of gravity is
manufacturing science — a quantitative, mechanistic understanding of why a process
behaves as it does and how it governs accuracy, surface quality, or productivity —
established through rigorous experiment combined with modeling. Papers that report a
parameter optimization for one workpiece with no transferable manufacturing insight,
or a measurement with no process understanding, are a weak fit. This skill is a
**fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's
