World Journal of Engineering

World Journal of Engineering is a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal from Emerald Publishing that has run since 2004 and takes the whole of engineering as its field rather than one specialty.《世界工程杂志》（World Journal of Engineering）由 Emerald 出版，双月刊，2004 年创刊，以工程学整体为范围，不限于单一专业。

Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor stands at 1.9, the five-year figure at 1.6, and the title sits in the second quartile of Engineering, Multidisciplinary.2025 年期刊影响因子为 1.9，五年影响因子 1.6，在工程综合类目里处于第二四分位。

Scope

• The stated scope is engineering science as a whole, and the journal asks for work that advances practice in a named branch, not commentary on the discipline at large.收稿范围写明覆盖工程科学整体，刊物要求稿件在某一具体分支上推进实践，不停留在对学科整体的泛论。

• Civil and structural engineering supplies the largest share of recent issues, from self-compacting and geopolymer concrete to supplementary cementitious materials, fibre dosing and the seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete frames.土木与结构工程占近几卷的最大份额，从自密实混凝土与地质聚合物混凝土，到辅助胶凝材料、纤维掺量与钢筋混凝土框架的抗震加固。

• Geotechnical and pavement papers report slope stability under geogrids, geosynthetic-encased stone columns and retaining walls in soft soil, while tunnel drives through interbedded sandstone and dune sand in road bases turn up beside them.岩土与路面方向的论文涉及土工格栅下的边坡稳定，也涉及土工合成材料包裹碎石桩与软土中的挡墙，隧道掘进穿越互层砂岩，路基则用到风积沙。

• Heat transfer and fluid mechanics run through nanofluid convection in cavities and entropy generation in turbulent channels, and reach the thermal management of lithium-ion packs by way of helical-coil exchangers and fouling control.传热与流体力学贯穿空腔内的纳米流体对流与湍流通道的熵产，也贯穿螺旋管换热器、结垢控制与锂离子电池组的热管理。

• Energy conversion covers solar air heaters with sensible and latent storage and photovoltaic grid interfaces, alongside axial-flux generators for wind and wave power, proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells and maximum-power-point tracking.能量转换方向涵盖配显热与潜热储存的太阳能空气加热器与光伏并网接口，也包括用于风能与波浪能的轴向磁通发电机、质子交换膜燃料电池与最大功率点跟踪。

• Materials work is dominated by composites, with carbon and silicon-carbide laminates and carbon-nanotube-modified epoxy in most volumes, while additively manufactured polymers and Stellite cladding on stainless steel appear just as often.材料类稿件以复合材料为主，碳纤维与碳化硅层合板、碳纳米管改性环氧都在其中，增材制造聚合物与不锈钢表面的 Stellite 熔覆也常在同一卷内出现。

• Manufacturing and machining papers deal with minimum-quantity lubrication and textured cutting tools, and with the grinding of ceramic-matrix composites and the porosity that multi-material fused deposition leaves behind.制造与加工类论文讨论微量润滑与织构刀具，也讨论陶瓷基复合材料的磨削，以及多材料熔融沉积留下的孔隙。

• Electrical and electronic devices appear in their own right, including GaN high-electron-mobility gas sensors and organic thin-film transistor biosensors, as well as resonant DC-DC converters and grid-connected inverter control.电气与电子器件单独成类，包括氮化镓高电子迁移率气体传感器与有机薄膜晶体管生物传感器，也有谐振直流变换器与并网逆变器控制。

• Machine design and tribology contribute textured journal bearings and gear wear under rolling-sliding contact, and they also carry hydraulic seat suspension control and low-cost robotic manipulators.机械设计与摩擦学方向贡献了织构滑动轴承与滚滑接触下的齿轮磨损，也贡献了液压座椅悬架控制与低成本机械臂。

• Corrosion and protection form a steady thread, with electrochemical impedance work on reinforcement in chloride-bearing concrete and inhibitor studies on carbon steel in acidic media.腐蚀与防护是稳定的一条线索，既有含氯混凝土中钢筋的电化学阻抗研究，也有酸性介质中碳钢缓蚀剂的研究。

• Machine learning and metaheuristic optimisation are treated as engineering tools rather than as subjects in themselves, applied to carbonation depth and compressive strength, to converter mode selection and to fuel-cell parameter estimation.机器学习与元启发式优化被当作工程工具使用，落脚点是碳化深度与抗压强度，也落在变换器模式选择与燃料电池参数辨识上。

• Environmental and sustainability questions arrive through air-pollutant trends around industrial plants and ionic-liquid routes to biodiesel, and through recycled refractory brick aggregate and the carbonation of lime and magnesia binders.环境与可持续议题经由工业厂区周边的大气污染物趋势与离子液体法制生物柴油进入版面，也经由再生耐火砖骨料与石灰、氧化镁胶凝材料的碳化进入版面。

• Review articles are a standing category, and recent ones survey solar air heaters and seismic retrofitting, three-dimensionally printed ABS parts and the machining quality of fibre-reinforced composites.综述是常设体裁，近期综述涉及太阳能空气加热器与抗震加固，也涉及三维打印 ABS 制件与纤维增强复合材料的加工质量。

• Field cases sit beside laboratory programmes, whether the emission record of a cement plant, the alignment of a tunnel or a deep excavation in soft soil.现场案例与实验室研究并列，或为某水泥厂的排放记录，或为某条隧道线路，或为软土中的深基坑。

History

• The first volume appeared in 2004 under Multi-Science Publishing, and that origin survives in the 10.1260 DOI prefix carried by the early volumes.第 1 卷于 2004 年在 Multi-Science Publishing 名下问世，这段来历留存在早期各卷文章的 10.1260 前缀里。

• The oldest unit in the current DOI record is volume 8, issue 1, dated March 2011, whose articles carry the 10.1260 prefix and page numbers that stay inside one issue.现行 DOI 记录里最早的一册是 2011 年 3 月的第 8 卷第 1 期，文章带 10.1260 前缀，页码落在同一期之内。

• Volume 13, dated 2016, is the first to carry 10.1108, the block Emerald registers, and the publisher of record has been Emerald ever since.2016 年的第 13 卷首次改用 Emerald 登记的 10.1108 前缀，此后出版方记录一直是 Emerald。

• The volume number did not restart at the transfer, so the change of publisher shows in the identifier block and not in the masthead numbering.转让时卷号并未重起，出版方的更替因此体现在标识符区段上，而不在卷号编排上。

• Two serial numbers are registered to the title, 1708-5284 and 2515-8082, and both resolve to the same journal in the Crossref record.本刊登记了两个连续出版物号，1708-5284 与 2515-8082，在 Crossref 记录里两者指向同一刊物。

• Six issues make a volume, and volumes 21 to 23, covering 2023 through 2026, each ran from issue 1 to issue 6.六期成一卷，第 21 卷至第 23 卷覆盖 2023 年至 2026 年，每卷都由第 1 期排到第 6 期。

• Volumes no longer keep to the calendar, and volume 23 opened in 2025 while its sixth issue was still being filled during 2026.卷与年份不再严格对齐，第 23 卷在 2025 年开卷，其第 6 期到 2026 年仍在陆续补齐。

• Papers are posted online with their own DOI and a provisional page range before the issue closes, so a fair part of the current record carries no volume at all.论文在成期之前先以独立 DOI 与临时页码上线，现行记录里有相当一部分尚无卷期。

• The volume count fixes the starting year, since one volume per year from 2004 puts volume 8 in 2011, exactly where the DOI record begins.卷号把创刊年钉住，自 2004 年起每年一卷，第 8 卷正落在 2011 年，与 DOI 记录的起点吻合。

• Citation figures have moved upward since 2023, when the Journal Impact Factor was 1.4 against 1.6 in 2024 and 1.9 in 2025.引用指标自 2023 年起抬升，当年影响因子为 1.4，2024 年为 1.6，2025 年为 1.9。

• The 2025 rank is 83rd of 178 titles in Engineering, Multidisciplinary, a percentile of 53.7 inside the Emerging Sources Citation Index.2025 年在工程综合类目 178 种刊物中列第 83 位，百分位 53.7，收录子集为 Emerging Sources Citation Index。

• Scopus indexes the title as well, which is why a CiteScore is published for it alongside the Web of Science entry.Scopus 亦收录本刊，因此除 Web of Science 的记录外还有 CiteScore 一并发布。

Editors

• Editorial work is organised from Emerald's journal office, and the journal page carries the team list, the advisory board and the address for correspondence.编辑工作由 Emerald 的期刊办公室组织，刊物页面列出编辑团队、顾问委员会与通信地址。

• The title describes itself as international and peer reviewed, and every accepted paper has passed external referees before it reaches the production stage.刊物自述为国际性同行评审期刊，每篇录用稿件都经过外部审稿人把关后才进入生产环节。

• Manuscripts enter through the publisher's online submission system, and the serial number assigned there becomes part of the DOI, as in WJE-05-2026-0315.稿件经出版方的在线投稿系统进入，系统给出的编号随后进入 DOI，例如 WJE-05-2026-0315。

• Special issues are guest edited, and the guest editors sign a short editorial that opens the collection.专辑由客座编辑主持，客座编辑为整组文章撰写一篇简短的卷首语。

• Guest editorials in 2021 and 2022 came from Zain Anwar Ali, from Gaurav Dhiman, and from Ravinder Kataria with Kanishka Jha and Ravi Pratap Singh.2021 年与 2022 年的客座卷首语分别出自（Zain Anwar Ali）、（Gaurav Dhiman），以及（Ravinder Kataria）与（Kanishka Jha）、（Ravi Pratap Singh）三人。

• One of those collections was built around advanced materials and processes for industrial applications, a theme that matches the materials and machining papers the journal now runs in quantity.其中一组文章以工业应用中的先进材料与工艺为主题，与本刊当前大量刊出的材料与加工论文相合。

• Corrections are published as items of their own, a corrigendum carrying its own DOI and naming the paper it repairs.更正以独立条目发布，一则勘误自带 DOI，并在题名里点明所修正的论文。

• Retractions follow the same route, and the 2026 notice withdrawing a machine-learning paper on healthcare disaster response repeats the original title in its heading.撤稿走同样的路径，2026 年撤回一篇机器学习医疗灾害论文的通告，在题名中重述了原论文题目。

• Production, copy-editing and typesetting are Emerald's, and article links follow the wje path that the publisher applies to its whole list.生产、文字编辑与排版由 Emerald 承担，文章网址按出版方全库统一的规则生成。

• The advisory board draws engineering scholars from several countries, which is how one editorial office can referee work that runs from concrete testing to GaN devices.顾问委员会由若干国家的工程学者组成，一个编辑部因此能够评审从混凝土试验到氮化镓器件的各类稿件。
