About the Journal

Aims and Scope

Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science (CAMES) is an open access, referred international journal, published quarterly, indexed by Scopus, EBSCO, and DOAJ, providing a scientific exchange forum and an authoritative source of information in the field of computational sciences and related areas of applied engineering. The objective of the journal is to support researchers and practitioners by offering them the means facilitating access to the newest research results reported by leading experts in the field, publication of own contributions, and dissemination of information relevant to the scope of the journal.

Papers published in the journal will fall largely into three main categories:

Contributions presenting new research methods of mathematical modeling and computer simulations in engineering and applied sciences, including traditional areas such as solid and structural mechanics, material science, fluid dynamics, acoustics and electromagnetics but going beyond them to account for application relevant issues in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics, scientific computing, large scale optimization, intelligent systems as well as in multi-scale and multi-physics problems.
Articles describing novel applications of computational techniques supporting engineering practice and education in areas like mechanical, aerospace, civil, naval, software, chemical and architectural engineering, materials science as well as demonstrations of their practical use in solving real life problems.
State-of-the-art tutorials, providing the readership with a guidance on important research directions as observed in the current world literature on computer assisted methods in engineering and sciences.

The journal will also publish book reviews and information on activities of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS).

Peer Review

As peer‐review journal, Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science performs the quality control for submitted manuscripts by review process. Each paper submitted to the journal is subjected to the peer reviewing procedure. The reviewers’ opinion constitutes a basis for the decision of the Editorial Committee to publish (or not) the paper.

The journal submissions are reviewed following with the golden rules and in the peer-review good practice recommended by the European Association of Science Editors.

Open Access Policy

The journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
