First Journal Publication for the New School of Engineering

In the normal course of things, journal publications can be seen as the part of the normal day-to-day academic output. However, in this case we were particularly pleased, since this paper is the first journal publication to emanate from the new School of Engineering.

Improved decision support for engine-in-the-loop experimental design optimization

Journal Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering
Publisher Professional Engineering Publishing
ISSN 0954-4070 (Print) 2041-2991 (Online)
Issue Volume 224, Number 2 / 2009
DOI 10.1243/09544070JAUTO1213

P Stewart, J Stewart School of Engineering, University of Lincoln, Lincoln, UK

R Chen and E Winward Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK

The paper is also important since it is an example of the collaborative research which is core to the School of Engineering. The research was kicked off through a Research Council grant:

    Hello Paul,

    Following your new blog with interest!

    Would you consider depositing a copy of this paper in the University’s Repository? It would be great to begin to build a complete record of the SchEng’s publications from day one… and Professional Engineering Publishing appear to have a very sensible attitude to open-access deposit.

    I’d be very happy to meet you or one of your colleagues to discuss the School’s approach to the Repository.

    Best,

    Paul (Stainthorp – electronic resources librarian)

  2. Professor Paul Stewart says

    Hi Paul
    I have just received the final copy from the publishers, and will post it.

  3. Professor Paul Stewart says

    Hi Paul
    Am in the (long) process of uploading my publications. One of my new Profs has 140 papers to upload, which may take some time……..
    Paul

  4. Joss Winn says

    It is possible for administrators of the repository, like Paul and I, to run batch edits on the metadata for existing papers. So if there is metadata that is shared across a number of papers, we could enter it by batch, saving you the repetition.
