Journal of Structural Dynamics

The Journal of Structural Dynamics is a Diamond Open Access Journal which publishes high-quality and original contributions in the field of structural dynamics. OUR VISION We believe in the free circulation of knowledge and the project commits to the cause by proposing a Diamond Open Access policy. The principle is to give free and immediate access to the scientific publications by proposing an editing system which is not in the hands of the private sector. With this system, the research outputs, mainly financed by public funds, is accessible in Open Access and without the need to pay expensive subscriptions to private editors. OUR STANDARD: HIGH QUALITY Papers published in JSD should provide an important advance to the state of the art and be significant to the structural dynamics community. To this end, the authors are encouraged to discuss the content of their paper with the associate editor specialist in the field, in order to make sure that the paper fits the scope and expectations of the journal. EFFICIENT PEER REVIEW We believe that by pre-establishing a list of qualified reviewers in the different topics covered by the journal, and contacting them personally to present the project and ask for their commitment to join the reviewers board is an efficient way to ensure that they will put priority on the reviews for our journal.
