Metrology | Scope Update

Scope (new version):

Scope (old version):

The name Metrology hints that the journal’s focus is on the formal definition of metrology—“metrology is the science of measurement and its application” [1]—where it is noted that metrology includes all theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, regardless of what the measurement uncertainty and field of application may be. This broad scope does not imply that any modeled or physical measurement can be published in Metrology; rather, the journal is concerned with innovative concepts, new perspectives, and illustrations of applications from which other readers can benefit, operating beyond the traditional boundaries between metrology fields. Basic metrological concepts such as uncertainty evaluation and traceability to the seven base units of the International System of Units and the derived units are the natural background and requirement for all contributions.

Metrology covers a broad range of areas, such as studies related to the following topics:
