Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research activities of the Japanese Council of IFToMM mainly focus on the theory, design, practice, and application of mechanism and machine design. Several international collaborative works have been done and are being extended with several partners. This Special Issue contains a selection of the best papers presented at the 25th Jc-IFToMM Symposium 2019 (2nd International Jc-IFToMM Symposium) on recent advances in the research areas covered by IFToMM. Novel results and solutions in the broad field of machine design, achieved in Japan as well as with international collaborations mainly within the IFToMM community, are presented.

Manuscript Submission Information
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 submissions that pass pre-check are 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. Machines 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 2400 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.
