The International Journal of Reliability and Quality Performance (IJRQP) is a refereed journal devoted to the publication of high quality research contributions for Reliability and quality management. The journal will accelerate the reviewing process in order to inform the authors the reviewers’ comments within 3 months. IJRQP will seek for the possibility to be cited in ISPEC (EI – Engineering Village), SCI, SSCI, etc. The journal focuses on topics treating the interface between engineering and management, and consists of the following sections, but not limited to:
Reliability Engineering and Analysis
Network Flow
Quality Measurement
Performance Evaluation
Human Resource
Production, Manufacturing and Logistics
Stochastics and Statistics
Decision Support
Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Information Management
Management Science
Soft Computing
Submission
Please submit your paper typed in English through the website xxxx with a Word or PDF file. The submission of a paper implies the author’s assurance that the paper has not been published and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Once a paper is accepted, authors are assumed to cede copyrights of the paper over to the publisher.
Manuscript Guidelines
Language: Articles must be written in good English
Length: Articles should be as concise as possible. Regular articles should not exceed 25 standard manuscript pages and short communications should not exceed 10 standard manuscript pages, including tables and figures. A standard manuscript page is A4 or letter size, text with single-column, double-spaced, 12 pt font and ample margins. In exceptional cases the Editors may waive this requirement.
Title: Concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae.
Author names and affiliations. Present the Authors' affiliation addresses below the names. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each Author.
Corresponding Author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication.
Abstract: An abstract of between 50 and 150 words should state the purpose of the research and the main results.
Keywords: Please provide 3 to 6 keywords after abstract.
Headings: Section headings as well as headings for subsections should start from the left-hand margin.
Mathematical Expressions. All mathematical expressions should be typed using Equation Editor of MS Word. Numbers in parenthesis shall be provided for equations or other mathematical expressions that are referred to in the paper and be aligned to the right margin of the page.
Tables and Figures: Once a paper is accepted, the corresponding author should promptly supply original copies of all drawings and/or tables. They must be clear for printing. All should come with proper numbering, titles, and descriptive captions. Figure (or table) numbering and its subsequent caption must be below (or above) the figure (or table) itself and as typed as the text.
