Rational publication is an association, under which our first online journal JMEB (Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Biomechanics) was started in the year 2015. JMEB provides a platform to scientists and researchers of mechanical and biomechanical engineering fields that support high level of learning and research. With the quality authors, researchers, scientists and professionals associating with JMEB, Rational Publication is now coming up with other specialized journals in various disciplines of Science, Engineering and Technology.

Rational Publication is devoted to publish only the original work (research articles, review articles, conference reports and technical notes) which can contribute to the society and help scholars, researchers to pursue them for the advancement and development of technology. Rational Publication publishes literature to meet the research information needs of the present and future authors, researchers, scholars and industry professionals. We are committed to promote exchange of information and ideas among professionals in diverse fields of engineering and to make our journals widely available to the society.

We have hybrid access journals out of which Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Biomechanics (JMEB) Journal of Computation and Artificial Intelligence in Mechanics and Biomechanics (JCAIMB), and Journal of Structural Design and Numerical Methods (JSDNM) are under Open Access category whereas Interntional Journal of Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IJIAS) is a hybrid access journal. Hybrid access journals offers the authors to publish their manuscript as open or closed access whereas Open  Access journals are published with the aim of being freely available online to readers.

Manuscripts (Research articles, review articles, technical notes, conference proceedings) on various disciplines of Biomechanics, Computational Mechanics, Artificial Intelligence, Structural Design, Mechanical Science, Optimization and Numerical Methods, Intelligent Autonomous Systems and Mechanical are invited for submission with us.

Frequency of Publication

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Biomechanics (JMEB) our scholarly online, blind peer reviewed Open Access , already running bimonthly journal, we publish six issues per year.

Interntional Journal of Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IJIAS): Manuscripts are also invited for our first issue of Hybrid Access online journal with 4 issues per year. It welcomes contributions from multi-disciplinary contents including robots, machines, and systems that are rapidly achieving intelligence and autonomy, mastering more and more capabilities such as mobility and manipulation, sensing and perception, reasoning and decision making. Articles on theoretical, computational, application-oriented, and experimental studies as well as reviews related to IAS are welcome.

Journal of Computation and Artificial Intelligence in Mechanics and Biomechanics (JCAIMB) is a scholarly online peer review open access journal that publishes only quality, peer-reviewed original research work on the recent developments in the multidisciplinary field of computation and artificial intelligence in mechanics and biomechanics. This journal is an open access online journal  which publishes three issues per year. Manuscripts with novel works in the said fields are welcome for our first issue.

Journal of Structural Design and Numerical Methods (JSDNM) is quaterly published online peer reviewed Open Access journal which aims at publishing all aspects of computational based structural design, numerical methods and engineering techniques that covers all advanced engineering applications.

Rational Publication Open Access Policies

---

At Rational Publication, our purpose is to provide quality scientific information for everyone to promote technological advancement for the benefit of society. To achieve this aim, all the journals of Rational Publication offer open access.

Open Access

Open Access means, the articles published by the authors are freely available to the readers, where everyone can read and download them without paying any fees. Rational Publication offers both Green and Gold Open Access publishing choice to authors.

In Gold open access the author can post the final ‘publisher version of Record’ [1] of their article immediately after publication into a repository by paying Article Publishing Charges (APC); whereas, Green open Access at Rational Publication means the author can post only their ‘Accepted manuscript’ [1] (not the final publisher Version of Record’) into a repository, after an embargo period of 6 months of publications. 

Green Open Access

 The ‘Accepted Manuscript’[1] can be archived on the authors’ personal or departmental WebPages, repositories, databases, social media, and academic social networks like Mendeley, ResearchGate, Academia, Kudos etc., after an embargo period of 6 months of publication. Also, no fees are to be paid by the authors in Green Open Access model of publication. The cost of publication is covered by the subscription fees of the journal.

Copyright

The Article’s copyright will be conferred on the Author.
