Use when targeting the International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (IJMTM) or deciding whether a precision/advanced-manufacturing manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the manufacturing-science bar combining experiment and modeling, the process-mechanics scope, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (international-journal-of-machine-tools-and-manufacture) ## Journal positioning The International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (IJMTM) is a leading archival journal for **precision and advanced manufacturing science**: the mechanics of machining and forming processes, machine-tool dynamics, precision metrology, surface integrity, and novel manufacturing processes. Its center of gravity is manufacturing science — a quantitative, mechanistic understanding of why a process behaves as it does and how it governs accuracy, surface quality, or productivity — established through rigorous experiment combined with modeling. Papers that report a parameter optimization for one workpiece with no transferable manufacturing insight, or a measurement with no process understanding, are a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live IJMTM Guide for Authors. ## When to trigger - The author names IJMTM for a machining, forming, metrology, or machine-tool manuscript and wants a fit/framing check. - A man

What does the international-journal-of-machine-tools-and-manufacture skill do?
Use when targeting the International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (IJMTM) or deciding whether a precision/advanced-manufacturing manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the manufacturing-science bar combining experiment and modeling, the process-mechanics scope, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill international-journal-of-machine-tools-and-manufacture --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
