Procedia Manufacturing is an open access journal focusing entirely on publishing high quality conference proceedings. Procedia Manufacturing enables fast dissemination of its content so that conference delegates can publish their papers in a dedicated online issue on Sciverse ScienceDirect under the Creative Commons license BY-NC-ND (for further details see our http://www.elsevier.com/about/open-access/open-access-policies/oa-license-policyopen access license policy.) Papers published on Procedia Manufacturing will be available online on ScienceDirect within 8 weeks of acceptance of the final manuscripts.

Procedia Manufacturing will publish papers from conferences on all important topics in the field of manufacturing engineering, including but not limited to manufacturing processes, systems and emerging topics in manufacturing, such as:

• Manufacturing process modeling
• Automation and robotics in manufacturing
• Sensing and control
• Manufacturing system design and operations
• Biomanufacturing
• Micro/nano manufacturing

Conference proceedings are accepted for publication in Procedia Manufacturing based on quality of the conference, its relevance to an international audience and timely and suitability of its scope. All proposals will be evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief and the editorial board, who, during the evaluation process, may make contact with members of the conference scientific committee and keynote speakers to obtain further information about the conference.

Proposals* should be prepared using the template /inca/publications/misc/PROMFGProposalform_6 May.pdfhere and sent to:

Dr. Prof. S. Jack Hu
Editor in Chief Procedia Manufacturing

*Please note that we do not accept proposals from individual authors for Procedia titles.

Additional Information
We are open to discuss even further collaboration, including but not limited to providing global organizational and administrative services, assisting with the setup of new multidisciplinary meetings. Feel free to contact Dr. Gaia Lupo for more information.

The Journal of Engineering Manufacture provides a focus for developments in engineering manufacture, covering technological and scientific research, developments and management implementation in manufacturing.'My priority as Editor is to ensure that the Journal of Engineering Manufacture remains at the forefront of international efforts to disseminate scientific advances and new knowledge arising from high quality manufacturing engineering research.We welcome papers in any aspect of engineering manufacture from manufacturing and assembly processes, to production machines and manufacturing systems. From time to time we also publish special issues on particular topics, either new emerging technologies or very sharply focused aspects of current manufacturing research.'.

The Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering publishes high-quality papers covering a broad area of mechanical engineering activities associated with the design and operation of process equipment."The process industries are fundamental to providing society with its basic needs in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. Be it refined oil products, foods, personal products, or powders - all are produced in vast quantities using specialised equipment. It is this equipment, its design, operation, and maintenance, that sits with the scope of the Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Part E of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.We welcome papers from any source covering a broad area of mechanical engineering activities associated with the design and operation of process equipment, and I can confirm that at all stages in the consideration of your paper we will endeavour to act as speedily as possible whilst maintaining academic rigour.".

Process Biochemistry is an application-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances with originality and novelty, in the science and technology of the processes involving bioactive molecules and living organisms. These processes concern the production of useful metabolites or materials, or the removal of toxic compounds using tools and methods of current biology and engineering. Its main areas of interest include novel bioprocesses and enabling technologies (such as nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, directed evolution, metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology) applicable in food (nutraceutical), healthcare (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), energy (biofuels), environmental, and biorefinery industries and their underlying biological and engineering principles.Main topics covered include, with most of possible aspects and domains of application:• Fermentation, biochemical and bioreactor engineering• Biotechnology processes and their life science aspects• Biocatalysis, enzyme engineering and biotransformation• Downstream processing• Modeling, optimization and control techniques.Particular aspects related to the processes, raw materials and products, also include:• Quantitative microbial physiology, stress response, signal transduction• Genetic engineering and metabolic engineering• Proteomics, functional genomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics• Chiral compounds production, cell free protein system, high-throughput screening, in-vivo/in-vitro evolution, enzyme immobilization, enzyme reaction in non-aqueous media• Mass transfer, mixing, scale-up and scale-down, bioprocess monitoring, bio-manufacturing• Cell, tissue and antibody engineering: animal and plant cells/tissues, algae, micro-algae, extremophile, antibody screening and production• Environmental biotechnology: biodegradation, bioremediation, wastewater treatment, biosorption and bioaccumulation• Bio-commodity engineering: biomass, bio-refinery, bio-energy• Bioseparation, purification, protein refolding.• Other new bioprocess and bioreactor related topics especially on application to healthcare sectors

To provide a communication stream for academic articles in the Production Engineering field. It publishes original articles, which represent a significant contribution from both empirical research and theoretical/conceptual development in Production Engineering.

The journal reports peer reviewed results of latest research in industrial engineering, production engineering and industrial organization. The high level and focus on both the scientific as well as the practical impact of the selected papers will bridge the gap between research and successful industrial application. Researchers in production engineering as well as in operation management and supply chain organization will find recent valuable developments. The main topics span from novel production processes via computer aided engineering to process chain and factory management. Frequently published key note papers provide succinct reviews on the recent progress in particular research areas.

Published eight times a year, Production Planning & Control is an international journal that brings together research papers on all aspects of production planning and control and the management of operations in all industries. The journal focuses on research that stems from an industrial need and can guide the activities of managers, consultants, software developers and researchers. It publishes accessible articles on research and industrial applications, new techniques and development trends.Production Planning & Control publishes keynote papers (by invitation), research papers with an applied bias, state-of-the-art reviews, tutorial reviews, case studies, reports on applications, conference reports and book reviews.To be published in Production Planning & Control, a paper will have been reviewed and accepted by at least two competent experts in the field. Reviewers are drawn from the Editorial Board and a list of occasional reviewers who have been nominated for their expertise. Reviewers' comments are based on relevance to the field, particularly applicability in industry, besides originality and scientific rigour.

The mission of Production and Operations Management is to serve as the flagship research journal in operations management in manufacturing and services. The journal publishes scientific research into the problems, interest, and concerns of managers who manage product and process design, operations, and supply chains. It covers all topics in product and process design, operations, and supply chain management and welcomes papers using any research paradigm.
