Call for Papers - Topical Issue on "Measurement and Instrumentation for Coastal and Marine Geology"

Details: Published on 12 February 2025

Aims and Scope of the Topical Issue

On achieving a critical inference on the continental margins between the sea and the land, marine and coastal geological studies have a crucial part. This study generally encompasses investigations like paleontological and sedimentological studies, geophysical oceanography, ocean floor studies, etc. In identifying the sediment processes, offshore hazards, resource management, shoreline changes, and much more, the mapping and measurement of the coastal environment are very much required. These instrumentation and measurement methods also contribute to the assessment of various mechanisms including the fluid process of waves, mass transport rate, changes in sea bed over time, and ocean current movements. Moreover, these specific functionalities are made possible with the help of measurement technologies like remote sensing, acoustical and optical instruments, lidar coordination, 3D elevated topographical programs, bathymetric charts, etc. On the other hand, roaster samplers, CTD, and acoustic doppler current profilers, submerged drifters float, and moorings are some of the instruments employed in marine geology. These are a few tools and instruments that could likely enhance the evaluation of this dynamic environment and gives suitable management measures. Considering these roles, the advancements in the measurement and instrumentation tools for marine and coastal geological studies effectively contribute to the sustainability of the marine environment.

Focusing on features and structures of the ocean this information-based geologic science is very important to know the fundamental idea and to predict the future of this natural system. In addition, this data acquisition and mapping of geological characteristics like ocean basins, slopes, continental shelves, etc adversely add value to the realm of coastal geology. Along with all these beneficial factors, it is equally important to know about the difficulties faced in this marine geological study. Starting from inadequate drainage walls to place the instruments, expensive methodologies, time-consuming sampling, inconsistent data acquisition, and much more act as some of the issues faced. Making a note of these challenging factors, it is very decisive to rectify them to accomplish full efficiency of this dimensioning process. To attain these prospects, researchers, public and private participants, and other academicians across this domain are invited to provide optimal solutions that aid these present circumstances. Thus, on concluding with future scope for development, this topical issue potentially welcomes researchers from related fields to contribute their ideal works that substantiate a well-equipped sector.

Topics of Interest include, but not limited too:

Passive observing sensors for the geological and physical study of ocean
Oceanographic data model: visualization and information management
Holography and 3D imaging for seafloor mapping in marine geology
Coastal geology using hyperspectral image measurements
Advanced calibration tools for acoustic systems in marine geology
Current measurement technologies for the coastal geological observation platform
Integration of synthetic aperture and sonar signal processing for marine geological studies
Latest observing platforms, systems, and instrumentations for marine geology
Beam propagation technology and instrumentation for ocean floor mapping
Marine geological studies using computerized deep-water drilling technologies

Submission deadline: June 30, 2025

DOAJ Seal awarded to International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering demonstrating “best practice in open access publishing”

Details: Published on 23 March 2021

We are pleased to announce that International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, among 22 other EDP Sciences’ journals, has recently been awarded the DOAJ Seal which “is awarded to journals that demonstrate best practice in open access publishing”. Only around 10% of journals indexed in the DOAJ are awarded the DOAJ Seal, so it is a gratifying mark of recognition of the excellent work International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering is doing.

The "International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering (IJMQE)" now indexed in Directory of Open Access Journals-DOAJ

Details: Published on 11 September 2017

EDP Sciences is pleased to announce that the International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering has been accepted into the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the independent, community-curated online directory that indexes open access, peer-reviewed journals.

For many, the DOAJ is an invaluable resource for assessing the authenticity of a journal or a publisher. Any journal that wishes to be included must apply through a stringent application process, demonstrating that it adheres to Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing among other criteria.

Ariana Fuga, Senior Publishing Editor at EDP Sciences, commented on the announcement: "We were confident that International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering would be accepted, given the journal's high ethical standards, but the news of inclusion is still incredibly pleasing to hear."

International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering (IJMQE) Now Fully Open Access (February 2017)

Details: Published on 03 February 2017

EDP Sciences are pleased to announce that International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering (IJMQE) is now a fully gold Open Access journal, meaning that all published articles will be available for anyone to read at any time from the publication date.

IJMQE was previously a subscription journal, but the move to Open Access demonstrates EDP Sciences’ support of Open Science and allows unrestricted access to published science.

Rather than institutions and individuals paying subscription fees, authors pay an article processing charge for an accepted article. To celebrate its launch in Open Access, the IJMQE article processing charge will be 300€ in 2017 (increasing to 1,110€ following the launch period).

The International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering (IJMQE) is devoted to articles dealing with applied metrology and quality tools for process improvement in industry and in research (in environment, health, food, energy, aerospace, automotive,). The journal’s main focus is related to measurement, sensors and instrumentation, products experimental reliability and safety, conformity assessment, process control and quality management.
