Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

This Actuators Special Issue will include high-quality papers presented during the 17th International Symposium on Magnetic Bearings, following the successful experience of ISMB17.

https://www.mdpi.co/journal/actuators/special_issues/ISMB17


After the end of ISMB17, authors of selected papers that match the Journal topics will be invited to publish an improved version of their contributions in open access, with the aim of providing a broad overview of the latest achievements and applications of magnetic bearings, magnetic actuators in many fields of mechanics, covering industry, automation, automotive, aerospace, and transportation. Papers could be original research papers, as well as review papers focused on the current state-of-the-art in one of the areas covered by the journal’s aims and scopes.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
