Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 7th European Conference on Tribology, ECOTRIB2019, was held on 12–14 June 2019 at the Austrian Economic Chamber in Vienna, Austria, in collaboration with the 4th Austria–India Symposium on materials Engineering and Tribology (MaTri’19), co-sponsored by the Austrian Tribology Society, the Indian Tribology Association, the Slovenian Society for Tribology, and the Swiss Tribology Society. The conference featured 165 oral presentations including 13 keynote and 11 invited talks and 14 poster presentations by 250 participants from 30 different countries. The organizing committee wishes to publish in Lubricants (ISSN 2075-4442) peer-reviewed articles related to the conference presentations. As extended versions of the presentations at ECOTRIB2019, the contributions can be articles describing original research, methods, hypotheses and theory, opinions, as well as more traditional reviews in the field of tribology and lubrication engineering. On this occasion, Lubricants is pleased to offer a 20% discount of Article Processing Charges (APC) for publication in this Special Issue to all the attendees of ECOTRIB2019.
The deadline for manuscript submission with the benefit of APC discount is 31 October 2019.
