Scope

Virtual and Physical Prototyping is online only. We welcome authors to submit supplementary data sets, colour images, animation and videos to publish with your articles to enhance the content experience of the journal. Virtual and Physical Prototyping provides an international forum for professionals and academics to exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge covering the full range of activities related to the multi-disciplinary area of virtual and rapid prototyping. The scope of VPP includes: Design for additive manufacturing: topological optimisation, lightweight, biomimetic design, functionally graded structures, etc. 4D printing: smart materials, shape memory polymers/alloys, deployable structures, etc. Multi-material printing: 3D printing of multiple metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, etc. Hybrid manufacturing: combination of additive and subtractive technologies Functional 3D printing: functional design, functional prototyping, etc. As well as the following topics: CAD and 3D data acquisition technologies Virtual environments and virtual reality Rapid tooling and rapid manufacturing Quality control and AM standards Concurrent engineering Bioprinting and biofabrication Concrete printing Miscellaneous: e-manufacturing/Internet of things, legal perspectives, economics, social and environmental implications, case studies, etc. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
