Journals

Journal of Ship Production & Design
 



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.

Journal of Ship Research

 
JSR 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.

Marine Technology and SNAME News
 
The last issue of Marine Technology and SNAME News was published on January 1, 2010. The new (mt) Magazine now assumes the "flagship" designation for SNAME publications.  2001 to 2010 volumes of Marine Technology and SNAME News are available online. 

The technical papers in this quarterly journal covered a broad spectrum of research on the latest technological breakthroughs, trends, concepts, and discoveries in the marine industry. SNAME News sections featured news and information on national, section, and local Society events and industry news, as well as updates on committee activities, meetings, seminars, professional conferences, and employment opportunities.
