Aims and Scope
Friction is a peer-reviewed international journal for the publication of theoretical and experimental research works related to the friction, lubrication and wear. Original, high quality research papers and review articles on all aspects of tribology are welcome, including, but are not limited to, a variety of topics, such as:
Friction: Origin of friction, Friction theories, New phenomena of friction, Nano-friction, Ultra-low friction, Molecular friction, Ultra-high friction, Friction at high speed, Friction at high temperature or low temperature, Friction at solid/liquid interfaces, Bio-friction, Adhesion, etc.
Lubrication: Superlubricity, Green lubricants, Nano-lubrication, Boundary lubrication, Thin film lubrication, Elastohydrodynamic lubrication, Mixed lubrication, New lubricants, New additives, Gas lubrication, Solid lubrication, etc.
Wear: Wear materials, Wear mechanism, Wear models, Wear in severe conditions, Wear measurement, Wear monitoring, etc.
Surface Engineering: Surface texturing, Molecular films, Surface coatings, Surface modification, Bionic surfaces, etc.
Basic Sciences: Tribology system, Principles of tribology, Thermodynamics of tribo-systems, Micro-fluidics, Thermal stability of tribo-systems, etc.
Friction is an open access journal. It is published quarterly by Tsinghua University Press and Springer, and sponsored by the State Key Laboratory of Tribology (TsinghuaUniversity) and the Tribology Institute of Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society.

Verified Reviews
One interesting phenomenon this year is that when our group started having meetings, many of my students reported on articles about Friction. At that time, they were just first-year graduate students. However, half a year later, there were no more articles about Friction in their literature reports. This indicates that the name Friction is still good, and there is a higher chance for newcomers in the field to search for this journal. But after being in the field for some time, they tend not to read it anymore. Instead, there have been more literature reports on International Journal of Fracture, Surface and Coatings Technology, and Applied Surface Science. As for article citations, students generally cite articles that have already been published by our research group and articles they have recently reported on. So the decrease in citation rate is probably related to this.
