Hardwarex

Journal Title：Hardwarex

The goal of Hardwarex is to recognize the time and effort that researchers have invested in developing the scientific infrastructure, while providing users with enough information to replicate and verify the advances presented. Open to input from all scientific, technical, and medical disciplines and the broadest interpretation of scientific infrastructure, including hardware modifications to existing infrastructure, tools and sensors to perform measurements and other functions (e.g., wearables, air quality sensors, low-cost alternative tools, etc.), and the creation of entirely new tools for standard or novel laboratory tasks.

Authors are encouraged to submit hardware developments that address all aspects of science, not just the final measurements, such as sample preparation and handling, user safety, and quality control improvements. The journal encourages the use of distributed digital manufacturing strategies (such as 3D printing), and all designs must be submitted under an open source hardware license.

《硬件X》目标是认可研究人员在开发科学基础设施方面所投入的时间和精力，同时为用户提供足够的信息来复制和验证所呈现的进步。对所有科学、技术和医学学科的输入持开放态度，并对科学基础设施进行最广义的解释，包括对现有基础设施的硬件修改、执行测量和其他功能的工具和传感器（例如可穿戴设备、空气质量传感器、低成本替代工具等），以及为标准或新颖的实验室任务创造全新的工具。

作者被鼓励提交解决科学的各个方面的硬件发展，不仅仅是最终的测量，例如样本准备和处理、用户安全以及质量控制的改进。期刊鼓励使用分布式数字制造策略（例如3D打印），并且所有设计必须在开源硬件许可下提交。

Hardwarex由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖Engineering - Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering全领域，平均审稿速度 24 Weeks ，影响因子指数2，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
