Peer-Review Process
The Hypervelocity Impact Society is dedicated to maintaining high standards of quality in conference presentations and published proceedings. Papers published from the Hypervelocity Impact Symposium represent the most recent and cutting-edge collection of published works in the field of hypervelocity impact research. To maintain this high standard, each abstract and manuscript will be peer reviewed by at least two independent reviewers in accordance with the policy of the Society.
The abstracts are organized by topics and reviewed by the Technical Committee. Criteria will include technical quality of the planned paper, completeness and originality of the previously unpublished research and grammatical quality, among others. Based on their recommendation, the abstracts are either accepted, combined with other abstracts, or rejected. Authors are notified of the outcome of the abstract review within one month of the review. Instructions for preparing manuscripts will be made available to the authors.
For the review of the manuscripts submitted for presentation on the symposium, Symposium Committee, Board of Directors and Technical Chairs will meet. Manuscripts are organized by topic and reviewed by at least two reviewers of the Technical Committee. Criteria are the quality and originality of the work, completeness, etc.
All accepted manuscripts will appear in the proceedings of the 11th Hypervelocity Impact Symposium, which will be edited by the Symposium Chairs and published by the Fraunhofer IRB publishing house. All manuscripts accepted, by definition, are relevant to the Symposium. However, some work may be of an applied engineering nature — and although excellent work — is not suitable for publication in a journal, where articles are published that advance understanding and knowledge. Therefore, manuscripts of outstanding scientific quality will be proposed for publishing in a special edition of the Journal of Impact Engineering of Elsevier publishing house, with guest editor Prof. William Schonberg.
Authors are notified of their outcome within one month of the review.
Abstracts deadline was July 15, 2009. For any matters related to abstracts please contact Stefan Hiermaier (stefan.hiermaier@hvis2010.org).
