Aims & Scope

Experimental Mechanics is a journal focusing on novel experiments to characterize the mechanics of materials, structures, and systems. The journal’s coverage includes experimental mechanics at both large and small scales and extends to fields at the intersection of disciplines including physics, chemistry, and biology. The journal aims to be the voice of the worldwide experimental mechanics community and to amplify the impact of novel research. Welcomes research papers, review articles, and brief technical notes on emerging mechanics and materials technologies of high societal impact. Topics of interest span a wide range of experimental methods and applications. Papers on experimental mechanics applied to bio- and nanotechnologies, single cells, tissues, and biosystems are encouraged. The publication is committed to shaping the future of experimental mechanics!

Frequently asked questions about Experimental Mechanics

Is Experimental Mechanics a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Experimental Mechanics: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Experimental Mechanics?

Experimental Mechanics is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal — including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles — receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 2.49.

Is Experimental Mechanics indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Experimental Mechanics is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus.
