About the Journal
Focus and Scope
The Cuban Journal of Engineering (Revista Cubana de Ingeniería) is published in electronic in order to help communication between engineering professionals and it is conceived as a forum for presenting scientific and technical articles in various areas of engineering, with a highlight of new results and contributions to the field. In this way, the journal aims to contribute to the update of professionals, researchers, professors and engineering students at a national and international discussion and, therefore, technical and scientific development of Cuba in the area of engineering.
The fields of interest to the journal is defined and not restricted to: civil, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, industrial, computer, chemical, mechanical and metallurgic engineering as well as content associated with materials engineering, bioengineering, transportation, geophysics, reengineering and maintenance, among others. There are also considered appropriate items to solving social problems of the technical sciences and teaching of engineers, including curricula, educational technologies, informatics, university management and university-industry relationship.
Since engineering practice increasingly requires the interaction of various disciplines, this journal assigns priority to publish articles with attention to multi-disciplinary integration, the interdisciplinary developments and practical applications.
The Journal of Engineering publishes the following type of articles
- Editorial: Document written by the editor, an editorial board member or a guest researcher on the content present in the journal or in a specific subject of interest.
- Research papers: Articles with results of scientific and technology research. The organization used will contain the following sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions and References. The findings should be included in the discussion.
- Review articles. This document is based in a deep finding and analysis of the state of arts in a specific subject, not only based on bibliographic analysis but on a final product that is considered of worth for the scientific community. It is characterized by a careful review of the literature of at least 40 references.
- Scientific Essay. Its objective is to bring us closer to the environment of a research problem, to generate an explanation of how the writer analyzes the world in relation to the proposed topic. It is characterized by its objectivity, following the scientific method. Its structure is: Introduction, Methodology, Results and Discussion and Conclusions.
- Experiences in the training of Engineers and Architects.They include works related to the experiences of: teachers; groups of Disciplines, subjects, departments, in the solution of pedagogical problems. Incorporating the theoretical foundations that serve as a basis for the analysis of experiences. The structure should be Introduction, Development, Conclusions and References.
Peer Review Process
Revista Cubana de Ingeniería has established a peer review policy of manuscripts submitted by authors, by a single double blind process. In some cases, authors are requested to propose at least two specialists in the subject and not related to the authors in any link. The Editorial board, as well as the reviewers will pay special attention to the ethical standards avoiding any conflicts of interest.
