Scope

• Artificial intelligence applied to product development, manufacturing processes and service systems is the journal's organising theme人工智能在产品开发、制造过程与服务系统中的应用是该刊的组织主线。
• New methodologies and developments are published alongside case studies, surveys and tutorials rather than as theory alone该刊除新方法论与进展外，也刊载案例研究、综述与教程，而非仅发表理论。
• Additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing and cyber-physical production systems are among the emerging areas the journal highlights增材制造、数字化制造与信息物理生产系统是该刊重点关注的领域。
• Cloud-based manufacturing, industrial internet platforms and deep learning for production data are within the editorial remit云制造、工业互联网平台以及面向生产数据的深度学习属于编辑范围。
• Biomanufacturing, nanotechnology and energy-related manufacturing are named as welcome emerging subjects生物制造、纳米技术与能源相关制造被列为欢迎的新兴选题。
• Special issues on topics of interest to the readership are organised periodically, often around a single industrial or methodological theme该刊定期组织读者关注的特刊，通常围绕单一工业或方法学主题。

History

• The journal was founded in 1990, when intelligent manufacturing was still a programme rather than an established field该刊 1990 年创刊，当时智能制造尚是一个研究纲领，而非成熟学科。
• It has been published by Springer throughout and appears eight times a year according to its own statement of scope该刊始终由（Springer）出版，按其自身的范围说明每年出版八期。
• Publishing is hybrid, with subscription access as the default and an open access option for individual articles该刊采用混合出版模式，以订阅访问为默认，单篇论文可选择开放获取。
• Its impact factor was 6.485 in 2021, 7.136 in 2022, 7.4 in 2024 and 7.7 in 2025, while the five-year impact factor stands at 9.2该刊影响因子 2021 年为 6.485，2022 年为 7.136，2024 年为 7.4，2025 年为 7.7，五年影响因子为 9.2。
• The publisher reports a median of eight days from submission to first decision, one of the faster turnarounds among manufacturing journals出版方公布的自投稿至首轮决定中位时间为 8 天，在制造类期刊中属于较快水平。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Andrew Kusiak, a professor of industrial and systems engineering at the University of Iowa in the United States现任主编为美国爱荷华大学（University of Iowa）工业与系统工程教授（Andrew Kusiak）。
• His own research spans intelligent manufacturing systems, data mining in production and wind energy analytics他本人的研究涵盖智能制造系统、生产数据挖掘与风能分析。
• The editorial board combines manufacturing engineers, computer scientists and operations researchers, reflecting the journal's interdisciplinary remit编委会由制造工程师、计算机科学家与运筹学者组成，体现该刊的跨学科定位。
• Associate editors handle submissions by subject area, and recurring special issues gather work around a single industrial or methodological theme副编辑按学科领域处理稿件，定期推出的特刊则围绕单一工业或方法学主题汇集论文。
• Submissions are handled through the Editorial Manager system, and the journal reports more than a million downloads a year投稿经（Editorial Manager）系统处理，该刊年下载量超过百万次。
• It is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, Ei Compendex and DBLP, which reflects its dual engineering and computing readership该刊被（SCIE）、（Scopus）、（Ei Compendex）与（DBLP）收录，反映其工程与计算双重读者群。
