JOURNAL of SHIP PRODUCTION and DESIGN (JSPD)

(JSPD) Quarterly U.S.

Original and timely technical papers addressing problems of shipyard techniques and production of merchant and naval ships appear in this quarterly publication. Since its inception, the Journal of Ship Production and Design (formerly the Journal of Ship Production) has been a forum for peer-reviewed, professionally edited papers from academic and industry sources. As such it has influenced the worldwide development of ship production engineering as a fully qualified professional discipline. The expanded scope seeks papers in additional areas, specifically ship design, including design for production, plus other marine technology topics, such as ship operations, shipping economics, and safety. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of technical papers relevant to marine professionals.

JSPD uses conventional, single-blind peer review. Two reviews are required per paper, reviewers can be suggested by the authors (or reviewers to be excluded), however, one of the journal editors makes the final determination. The review standard is consistent with top-quality academic journals (Ocean Engineering, JSR etc.), namely that the content be original and have archival value (e.g. not direct applications or a repeat of already-available data).

JOURNAL of SHIP RESEARCH

(JSR) Quarterly
ISSN# 0022-4502
List: $335.00
International List: $365.00
Members Domestic: $80.00
Members International: $95.00

This Quarterly publication publishes highly technical papers on applied research in hydrodynamics, propulsion, ship motions, structures, and vibrations. While the Journal of Ship Research requires that papers present the results of research that advances ship and ocean science and engineering, most contributions bear directly on other disciplines, such as civil and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, and numerical analysis. High quality papers are contributed from the U.S., Canada and overseas, with representation from established authorities as well as new researchers.

JSR has a two-tiered system. A JSR appointed Associate Editor (AE) will assign reviewers and conclude the review with a recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief (EIC). The EIC reviews all the comments received from the reviewers and the AE, and makes one of six decisions: 1) accept, 2) minor revision, 3) major revision, 4) reject and re-submit, 5) reject, 6) additional reviewers requested. Before the AE's recommendation to the EIC, at least 2 reviews are required for each paper. If conflicting reviews are received, additional reviewers are needed. Normally several revisions are required before final acceptance. Some of the criteria for acceptance are: originality of the research, significance of the contribution, correctness of the information and completeness of the work.

JOURNAL of SAILBOAT TECHNOLOGY

(JST)
ISSN# 1548-6559

Published by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) and SNAME's SC-2 Sailing Craft Panel, the Journal of Sailboat Technology (ISSN 1548-6559) is an online peer-reviewed journal whose objective is to provide a medium for the publication of research achievements and engineering practices in this field.

It is intended to cover not only fundamental studies on analytical and numerical models, theoretical developments, tank and wind tunnel experiments, but also results and analysis of full scale experiments. Topics include:

Sail Design, Analysis and Optimization

Rig Concepts

Resistance and Motions

Stability

Hull and Appendage Design and Optimization

Performance Prediction

Tacking Analysis

Race Simulation

Weather Routing

Full Scale Instrumentation

Handicap Systems

Structures and Structural Analysis

Materials and Construction Methods

Structural Optimization of Hull, Appendages and Rigs

Sailboat Systems

TRANSACTIONS

(TR) ISSN 0081 1661; (Hard Cover)
International List: $145.00
Domestic List: $125.00
Members Domestic: $50.00
Members International: $70.00

This important volume has been published annually since 1893. The Transactions provide a compilation of select papers presented before the Society during the calendar year and the Society’s national award winning papers for that year. The contents are divided into sections containing archival papers of exceptional quality, primarily drawn from the Society's Annual Meeting papers, which include written discussions and authors closures; SNAME major award and prize winning papers; graduate and undergraduate student award winning papers; and significant papers of such high quality and intrinsic value as to warrant capturing them in the Transactions. The volume also includes a summary of the Society's business as reported at its Annual Meeting (http://www.sname.org/events/).

Current volume of Transactions is available for purchase in hardcover, softcover, and on CD. Please contact SNAME's Publications Sales Associate, Tommie-Anne Faix to inquire about previous years’ volumes.
