IHS White Paper:  ASME Journals Online

During this ripe age of technological advancement, the need for accessible research is persistent. The American Society of Mechanical Engineering (AMSE) provides an economical approach to journal research, necessary for efficiently achieving cutting-edge technology. Striving to be the premier organization for promoting the art, science and practice of mechanical engineering. The peer-reviewed journals provided by ASME allow organizations to attain explanatory technical materials, conduct thorough background research in a less time-consuming manner, as well as identify new tools available for engineers to efficiently and cost effectively locate pertinent information.

Journals provide timesaving benefits that allow research into contemporary precedents set by peers. With 120,000 professional organizations and over a century of experience in technical, educational, and research issues of the engineering and technology community, AMSE has substantiated itself as a trusted resource setting internationally recognized industrial and manufacturing codes and standards.

ASME has published several journals to include the following:

• Applied Mechanics Reviews
• Journal of Applied Mechanics
• Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
• Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics
• Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering
• Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement and Control
• Journal of Electronic Packaging
• Journal of Energy Resources Technology
• Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power
• Journal of Fluids Engineering
• Journal of Fluid Cell Science and Technology
• Journal of Heat Transfer
• Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering
• Journal of Mechanical Design
• Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering
• Journal of Solar Energy Engineering
• Journal of Tribology
• Journal of Turbomachinery
• Journal of Vibration and Acoustics
• Journal of Medical Devices

The Editorial board of the Society consists of a team of international experts who conduct the peer-review process for the different topical areas covered by the specific journal.

AMSE provides rapid dissemination of original theoretical and applied research results of relevant branches of manufacturing. The ease of the online journal allows full text articles to be instantaneously scanned for keywords. Precise, full-text article queries are available for more advance research, directly from an engineer’s web browser. Meanwhile users can access information from any location, eliminating the need to purchase multiple copies of journals.

For a nominal subscription fee, ASME online journals provide referencing with a vast array of invaluable technical and engineering information to include specifications, standards and journal publications. Users will gain access to over 100,000 research articles searchable via title, date range, or keyword. The online journal is organized by engineering specialties, which allow subscribers accurate and cost-efficient search capabilities for relevant information.

In the past such background research required a substantial devotion of time and energy, which even then it may have been incomplete. Today, engineers can receive relevant results nearly instantaneously via online references that include journals and technical articles. This informative white paper shows the importance of journals in the field of mechanical engineering, profiles the most effective research materials, and shows how new technological advances make textual research more complete and less time-consuming than ever before.
