WELDING JOURNAL
Submission guidelines
1. Introduction:
1.1. The Welding Journal is published by the American Welding Society to advance the
science, technology and application of welding and allied joining and cutting
processes worldwide including brazing, soldering and thermal spraying.
1.2. The Welding Journal Research Supplement (WJRS) is a component of the Welding
Journal aimed at publishing high-quality papers related to novel research and
innovative industrial advancements on the topics listed in section 1.1.
1.3. Manuscripts topics that are appropriate for WJRS include but are not limited to the
following areas as they relate to welding and allied processes: materials, welding
metallurgy, weldability, design of structures, design of power supplies or equipment,
processes including additive manufacturing, sensing and control, robotics, modeling,
maintenance, health and safety, or related subjects. Manuscripts on development
activities for production applications are typically too narrow in scope and do not
normally meet the criteria sought for publications in WJRS.
1.4. Manuscripts submitted to WJRS undergo a peer review process, as briefly
summarized in Section 9, before publication. Therefore, authors should pay careful
attention to detail, particularly with information provided in the Introduction,
Experimental Procedure and Discussion sections. Manuscripts submitted to WJRS
that do not meet the requirements described in this guideline will be rejected or
returned to the authors for revision.
1.5. Manuscripts submitted to WJRS should be written clearly. Manuscripts may be
rejected because of poor writing quality. Authors are encouraged to seek helps from
colleagues who are proficient in English to meet the writing criteria.
2. Organization of manuscripts submitted to the Welding Journal Research Supplement:
Authors should organize their manuscripts into the following major sections:
2.1. Title-Select a title not exceeding ten words, keeping in mind the value of using key
words for indexing purposes and future literature search.
2.2. Subtitle-Include a short "blurb" to highlight the major idea or extend a brief title. Keep
to less than 20 words.
2.3. Authors’ Names- Give the authors’ names in the order they appear in print, together
with title and business affiliation of each author. Authors who have changed their
affiliations may provide both the previous affiliation when the work was performed and
present affiliation.
2.4. Main Body Of Manuscript -The main body of the manuscript should be organized as
shown in Section 3 of this document. Subheadings within major sections of the main
body can be used and are encouraged to provide clarity to the reviewer and readers.
Authors should be concise and limit repetition. See Section 3 for further details on
how to prepare the main body of the manuscript.

2.5. Tables-Each table should be prepared separate from the text and numbered
consecutively (Table 1, 2, 3, etc.) in the order that they are introduced in the text. A
brief descriptive heading should be given at the top of each table, and each table
should be cited in the text. Where table data require footnotes, use (a), (b), (c), etc.,
as referencing letters. Do not insert tables in the manuscript pages. Submit them
separately.
2.6. Figures-Each figure (with 300 dpi or better resolution) should be prepared separate
from the text and numbered consecutively (Figure 1, 2, 3, etc.) in the order that they
are introduced in the text. A brief descriptive heading should be given beneath each
figure, and each figure should be cited in the text. Where figures contain multiple
components, use (a), (b), (c), etc., to indicate each component. For example, one
component can be referred to as Figure 1(a). Do not insert figures in the manuscript
pages. Submit them separately.
