International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing

The International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (INT J EXTREME MANUF), with ISSN 2631-8644 and an exceptional 2026 Impact Factor of 25.1000, stands as a premier, high-impact publication in the materials science and manufacturing engineering landscape. Published as a fully open access journal, it is dedicated to advancing the frontier of manufacturing science and technology, focusing specifically on processes that operate under extreme conditions—such as ultra-high precision, extreme temperatures, pressures, or energy densities—as well as the fabrication of materials and devices with extreme properties or performance characteristics. The journal’s scope encompasses a broad yet specialized range of topics, including but not limited to advanced micro- and nano-fabrication, additive and subtractive manufacturing at the atomic or molecular scale, high-energy beam processing (laser, electron, and ion beam), ultra-precision machining, and novel techniques for producing metamaterials, flexible electronics, and biomedical devices. It publishes a variety of article types, including original research articles, comprehensive reviews, rapid communications, and perspectives that critically assess emerging trends and future directions. The primary target audience comprises academic researchers, industrial engineers, and graduate students working at the intersection of mechanical engineering, materials science, physics, and chemistry. As a Q1 journal in the JCR quartile rankings, its standing in the field is extraordinary, consistently placing it among the most influential and highly cited journals globally. This remarkable impact factor reflects its role as a leading venue for disseminating groundbreaking discoveries and technological innovations that define the next generation of manufacturing capabilities.
