Journal Title：Hardwarex

The goal of Hardwarex is to recognize the time and effort that researchers have invested in developing the scientific infrastructure, while providing users with enough information to replicate and verify the advances presented. Open to input from all scientific, technical, and medical disciplines and the broadest interpretation of scientific infrastructure, including hardware modifications to existing infrastructure, tools and sensors to perform measurements and other functions (e.g., wearables, air quality sensors, low-cost alternative tools, etc.), and the creation of entirely new tools for standard or novel laboratory tasks.

Authors are encouraged to submit hardware developments that address all aspects of science, not just the final measurements, such as sample preparation and handling, user safety, and quality control improvements. The journal encourages the use of distributed digital manufacturing strategies (such as 3D printing), and all designs must be submitted under an open source hardware license.

《硬件X》目標(biāo)是認(rèn)可研究人員在開發(fā)科學(xué)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施方面所投入的時(shí)間和精力，同時(shí)為用戶提供足夠的信息來(lái)復(fù)制和驗(yàn)證所呈現(xiàn)的進(jìn)步。對(duì)所有科學(xué)、技術(shù)和醫(yī)學(xué)學(xué)科的輸入持開放態(tài)度，并對(duì)科學(xué)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施進(jìn)行最廣義的解釋，包括對(duì)現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的硬件修改、執(zhí)行測(cè)量和其他功能的工具和傳感器（例如可穿戴設(shè)備、空氣質(zhì)量傳感器、低成本替代工具等），以及為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)或新穎的實(shí)驗(yàn)室任務(wù)創(chuàng)造全新的工具。

作者被鼓勵(lì)提交解決科學(xué)的各個(gè)方面的硬件發(fā)展，不僅僅是最終的測(cè)量，例如樣本準(zhǔn)備和處理、用戶安全以及質(zhì)量控制的改進(jìn)。期刊鼓勵(lì)使用分布式數(shù)字制造策略（例如3D打印），并且所有設(shè)計(jì)必須在開源硬件許可下提交。

Hardwarex由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Engineering - Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering全領(lǐng)域，平均審稿速度 24 Weeks ，影響因子指數(shù)2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
