Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inventions is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal published bimonthly online by MDPI. Over the past decade, the journal has experienced significant growth in scholarly impact, manuscript submissions, published articles, and citation performance, firmly establishing itself as a high-quality archival outlet for engineering and scientific research.
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Inventions, we are pleased to launch a commemorative Special Issue and invite researchers, inventors, and practitioners to submit their latest original contributions. Submissions are welcomed across a broad range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Advanced manufacturing technologies and processes;
- Applied chemistry and physics;
- Design methodologies, modeling, and computational approaches;
- Electrical engineering, energy systems, and communications;
- Energy systems, thermal sciences, and fluid mechanics.
Manuscripts addressing other emerging or interdisciplinary areas aligned with the journal’s scope are also strongly encouraged.
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, innovation is being translated into a growing body of disclosures, patent filings, and other mechanisms for protecting and disseminating intellectual advancements. The Inventions community is eager to learn about recent breakthroughs, emerging trends, and transformative technologies shaping the future of innovation. This Special Issue provides a dedicated forum to showcase impactful and forward-looking research that reflects these advancements.
To recognize outstanding contributions, three exceptional papers published in this Special Issue will receive prestigious awards, selected based on research originality, technical merit, and overall impact. The awards include an official trophy, a certificate, and a free voucher for article processing fees valid for one year.
We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you through your contributions and highlighting research that will define the next decade of Inventions.
Prof. Dr. Ismail Fidan
Guest Editor
