Papers presented at Surveillance 6 are potentially eligible for publication in MSSP (impact factor = 2.075). Authors should submit an extended version of their manuscript complying with the Journal philosophy (see below). MSSP is a peer review journal, striving to publish papers of high quality in the following areas:

 

                                                              Diagnostics of machinery and elements  

                                                              Dynamics of mechanical systems and structures

                                                              Structural health monitoring

                                                              Sensing/measurements  

                                                              Vibration/Noise control

                                                              Vibro-acoustics

                                                              Adaptive structures  

                                                              Inverse problems  

                                                              Uncertainty analysis

                                                              Rotor dynamics  

                                                              System integration

 

The basic philosophy is to achieve a balance between experimental and theoretical approaches. Even basically theoretical contributions should be such that experimentalist will benefit from being aware of them. We would rarely consider pure "case histories", unless very difficult experimental issues were solved. We would usually also expect that theoretical aspects be supported by experimental verifications, and not just simulations. In most cases, the critical assessment of any results would be one of the major criteria looked for. These guidelines are of course somewhat general, and some flexibility in judging papers will always be a necessity
