Feature Papers to Celebrate the SCIE Coverage

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to announce that Actuators (ISSN 2076-0825) has been accepted for inclusion in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in the Web of Science Core Collection. Actuators is due to receive its 2019 journal metrics in the June 2020 release of the Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics).

To celebrate this wonderful achievement, we are launching this Special Issue to publish top-quality papers from editorial board members and leading researchers invited by the editorial team. Papers could be both long research papers and papers describing the current state of the art in one of the areas covered by the journal. All papers will be published in open access and without any charges.

If you are interested in publishing your work in the Special Issue, please contact me or the editorial office.

Prof. Dr. Delbert Tesar
Guest Editor
