PUBLICATIONS

Over its 115-year history, Society members have written and published millions of pages of original research, technical papers, books and other content. These have established SNAME as a world-wide leader in the advancement in naval architecture and marine engineering. A large percentage of this historic legacy is available online. Researchers can search technical papers and all SNAME online libraries.

Journals

The universe of SNAME technical papers includes peer-reviewed content presented to sections, symposia, conferences and meetings of the society. Much of this is published in SNAME's journals, with a few dozen selected for presentation at the Annual Meeting and publication in the prestegious Transactions. SNAME journals are led by the flagship Marine Technology and SNAME News. Most articles of these journals are peer-reviewed. Individual articles are searchable through SNAME's online library.

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 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 fully qualified professional discipline. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of technical papers relevant to ship professionals, including written discussions and author’s closures

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.

The Technical papers in this quarterly flagship journal cover a broad spectrum of research on the latest technological breakthroughs, trends, concepts, and discoveries in the marine industry. SNAME News is packed with Society news and information on national, section, and local levels as well as updates on committee activities, meetings, seminars, professional conferences, and employment opportunities.
