IOP Publishing (IOPP) is partnering with the Institute of Systems Engineering (ISE), which is part of the China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), to launch a new diamond open access (OA) journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on reliability.

Reliability is a vital research field in physics and engineering. It unites physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and computer and AI scientists to develop methodologies that aim to enhance the reliability, durability, and performance of a product or system.

The Journal of Reliability Science and Engineering is dedicated to publishing high-quality research related to reliability while giving researchers free access to read and publish in the journal at no cost. The journal also benefits from editorial and commissioning support from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, the Hunan University and the Beijing Institute of Structure and Environment Engineering.

Chang-Pu Sun, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Reliability Science and Engineering, said: "The relentless pursuit of humanity lies in the creation of products with ever-reliability, evolving reliability research into a comprehensive scientific system. The Journal of Reliability Science and Engineering aims to provide an international academic platform to foster collaboration for innovative advancements in reliability science and engineering. We've selected IOPP as our publishing partner as their values of putting science before profit aligns with our publishing ethos." 

Violeta Ribarska, Head of Partner Publishing and Engagement, said: "We are honored that the China Academy of Engineering Physics has chosen us as their publishing partner for the launch of this fantastic new journal. With the Journal of Reliability Science and Engineering, we are expanding our diverse, global portfolio of OA publications, providing researchers across the physical sciences and engineering with more opportunities to access and share their cutting-edge science with the scientific community." 

The journal opens for submissions on 1st October. For more information, please visit https://iopscience.iop.org/jrse. (this link will go live on Tuesday morning)
