Dear Colleagues,
In response to some questions I have received about conference paper
submissions to the Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD), I would like to clarify
some of our policies with the goal of encouraging more conference paper
submissions to the journal.
Copyright
There is no copyright problem with submitting an ASME conference paper (e.g.,
for IDETC) to an ASME journal (e.g., JMD) because ASME would hold the
copyrights for both papers (if they are accepted). For a rejected paper, the
copyright reverts to the authors.
For inclusion of ASME conference material to a non-ASME journal, authors need
to secure the permission of the copyright holder to have its material published
in another source (see
https://www.asme.org/shop/journals/information-for-authors/journal-guidelines/rights-and-permissions<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.asme.org_shop_journals_information-2Dfor-2Dauthors_journal-2Dguidelines_rights-2Dand-2Dpermissions&d=DwMFAg&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=2DPSktQIE9J2TSA-i6YXXQ&m=wDzlHfmqj_YGZnW_DuHvyyBSN3FpoLuhFkq9hf0ANyY&s=czsFu9JMX8xmD8Df46Z94K31b5xfFSrv_HGii8JZ_rM&e=>).
Timing
Although many authors choose to revise their conference papers and submit to an
ASME journal after the conference is over, in order to expedite the
dissemination of our research results, I encourage you to submit your
conference paper to JMD as soon as it is accepted by conference or when you
feel ready for journal peer review.
Identifying The Conference in Submission
During the journal submission process, please identify the conference as
follows:
• Include the conference paper identification number at the end of your paper
title, in parentheses, e.g., "This Is Your Paper Title (DETC2019-xxxx)"
• Under the “Conference Acknowledgement” box in the journal tool, indicate
that the paper has been submitted at a conference, that copyright permission
has been obtained, and identify the conference year, name, and paper number.
Special Issues
This year JMD is organizing the special issue on “Machine Learning for
Engineering Design”. The submission deadline is March 1,
2019<http://airmail.calendar/2019-03-01%2012:00:00%20CST>. Please consider
submitting your ASME conference paper to this special issue if it fits within
the scope.
In addition, we plan to organize the 2019 IDETC Special Issue as we did last
year (2018). Last year, submissions to the IDETC Special Issue were by
invitation only, based on the recommendations from individual conference
organizers. Invitations were sent in May and submissions were due at the end of
June. Through an expedited review process, paper reviews for this special issue
were completed by November 2018. We plan to follow the similar timeline for
the special issue this year. Note that authors may still submit IDETC papers
to a regular JMD issue even if not invited to the special issue. About 15% of
the IDETC papers were invited to the IDETC special issue last year.
