History

The journal was established in 2006 after 21 of the 23 members of the editorial board of the International Journal of Solids and Structures resigned in protest of Elsevier's "pressure for increased profits out of the limited institutional resources."[1][2] In their founding issue, the editors of the new journal indicated several desires for the publication, including, "a low subscription price that will not grow faster than the number of pages and indeed may drop as the subscriber base expands."[3]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Current Contents/Engineering, Computing & Technology,[4] Ei Compendex,[5] Science Citation Index Expanded,[4] and Scopus.[6] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 1.094.[7]
