Dear Colleague,

The organizers on behalf of King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB) are delighted to cordially invite you to join our International Workshop on Hybrid Composites for Railway Applications on 18th February 2022.

Register now (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1pNdvFHQwGAO6MhtKBajTK74PEtziG125gPIvLeqWF5Q/viewform?edit_requested=true) to interact with international eminent speakers during the live conference sessions at the ‘International Workshop on Hybrid Composites for Railway Applications'. The presentations will describe new and recent advances in composite materials for railway applications.

Lead Editor of Special Issue: Dr. Sanjay Mavinkere Rangappa

Scope of Special issue
Composite materials have been successfully used in railway applications. Due to the implementation of highly restrictive safety and pollution legislations in the railway industry, hybrid composites have become an increasingly important topic over the last decade. Hybrid composites constitute an excellent alternative to traditional materials, due to their highly specific mechanical, thermal and other properties. In this regard, the main aim of the special issue includes new and recent advances in composite materials for railway applications. This special issue will be a collection of 10 peer-reviewed contributions that present original breakthrough research in the field of composites for railway applications. Moreover, the special edition expects to provide a platform to publish cutting-edge research from around the globe.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted to Editorial Manager (EM) submission powered by Elsevier and Aries. All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. Accepted papers will be published in the special issue of the journal. Original research and review articles are invited with a minimum of 8 pages as per the journal template.

ASEP has been included in SCOPUS database since 2019 (https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21100939572?origin=resultslist). Currently, we adopt EM manuscript submission system powered by Elsevier and Aries (https://www.editorialmanager.com/asep/default.aspx), the same platform with high standard journal worldwide and our turnaround time for reviewing process is less than 1 month in average. During 2020, we published 40 high quality articles from 263 submissions (rejection rate at 85%). Our SCOPUS citescores are growing to 0.5 in 2020 and the number of citation/article during 2019-2020 is 0.7 (updated 20 Jan 2021). With this progress, ASEP aims to maintain high standard of peer-review process to make sure the integrity and reliability of publishing. We are looking forward to provide service for worldwide authors to publish the research to strengthen our research community and society.

Applied Science and Engineering Progress (ASEP) is currently indexed in SCOPUS database. We would like to invite authors to submit the manuscript to publish in the forms of Review article and Research article with free-of-charge policy. The turnaround time for one round of peer reviewing process is less than 4 weeks in average. Starting from Vol. 14 in 2021, ASEP will publish 4 issues per year with 14 articles per issue. Please check out the scope and focus of ASEP at http://ojs.kmutnb.ac.th/index.php/ijst/pages/view/AboutTheJournal.

ASEP has been included in SCOPUS database since 2019 coverage. Since then, we have rising numbers of submitted manuscripts during 2019 (Jan-Dec 2019) and 2020 (Jan-Jun 2020) of 81 and 110 articles, respectively. Among these numbers, we received warm welcome from international authors (49.5% in 2019 and 50% in 2020 of total numbers of submitted manuscripts) we still maintain high standard of peer-review process to make sure the integrity and reliability of publishing. Thus, we have responses back to authors with rejection rate for 55.6% in 2019 and 64.5% in 2020, calculated from total numbers of submitted manuscripts. Collectively, the statistical data of ASEP, continuing from KMUTNB: IJAST (previous journal name), we have published manuscripts with authors from 29 countries and citation from 55 countries. We are looking for further supports from readers, authors and reviewers to ASEP to strengthen our research community and society.

Regarding to the the worldwide trend of readers, the electronic version of published articles has been become the major preference. Applied Science and Engineering Progress’s publisher comes to the conclusive policy to reduce the use of paper to become environmental friendly journal. Therefore, starting from vol 13 in 2020, the hardcopy version of published articles will be printed out upon the request of corresponding authors. We encourage our readers and authors to welcome our policy to reduce the effect of global warming together.
