CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS

Description
Multibody Systems Dynamics (DSM) is, perhaps, one of the most important scientific-technological domains at the level of fundamental and applied research. The authors of the most relevant scientific contributions in the field of multibody system dynamics were invited to contribute to this special issue. 

How to submit
All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. Interested authors should consult the journal’s “Submission Guidelines” at https://www.springer.com/journal/11044/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab).

Articles can be submitted through SNAPP. 

All submitted papers will be reviewed on a peer review basis as soon as they are received. Accepted papers will become immediately available at Online First until the complete Special Issue appears.

All submissions will be handled as rigorously as regular submissions. 

Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation by at least two reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editors-in-Chief.

Please note that the authors of selected papers presented at DSM2022 are invited to submit an extended version of their contributions by taking into consideration both the reviewers’ comments on their conference paper, and the feedback received during presentation at the conference. It is worth clarifying that the extended version is expected to contain a substantial scientific contribution, e.g., in the form of new algorithms, experiments or qualitative/quantitative comparisons, and that neither verbatim transfer of large parts of the conference paper nor reproduction of already published figures will be tolerated. The extended versions of DSM2022 papers will undergo the standard, rigorous journal review process and be accepted only if well-suited to the topic of this special issue/topical collection and meeting the scientific level of the journal. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editors-in-Chief.
