EML

Starting a new journal is risky. Starting a new journal in mechanics is particularly risky. The responses to the two recent posts are encouraging, however.

• Getting ready for Extreme Mechanics Letters

• What can iMechanica do for Extreme Mechanics Letters

iMechanica is turning 8 in a month. The ever growing of iMechanica users has gone far beyond one’s expectation.

We are launching a new journal, Extreme Mechanics Letters. EML will publish letter-sized papers. We aim to achieve rapid communication. Our goal is to have the accepted papers published within 6-8 weeks upon submission. We aim to build a home at the frontier of engineering, medicine, science and entertainment, where advances are rapid and mechanics matters. We seek papers from researchers in all disciplines.

We will start to review submissions on 1 October 2014, and publish first papers by 1 December 2014. The beginning issues will be freely accessible online, and printed copies will be distributed at conferences.

We love to publish your extremely new ideas on extremely useful and extremely interesting mechanics. Please submit your papers soon.
