Journal of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers: Announcements

Call For Papers: Deadline Extended to Sept. 27 -- Get Your Abstracts In for Santa Fe Technical Session at Winter Conference

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 02:13:06 +0000

We're still soliciting papers for the Saturday Technical Session segment of our annual winter meeting to be held January 17-19, 2025 at Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe, N.M.

As a Forensic Engineer, preparing a technical paper is a valuable addition to your credentials. One of your membership benefits as a dues payer of NAFE is the ability to publish a peer-reviewed paper in the NAFE Journal. Do you have an idea for a technical paper that will add to the forensic engineering body of knowledge? If so, please review the author submission guidelines on the Journal site, and submit an abstract.

Abstracts are graded based on the strength and clarity of the thesis, conclusion, engineering content, and its perceived appeal or value to the Academy. Note: If you would like to have your abstract reviewed prior to formal submission, please send them to our Editor-In-Chief Bart Kemper at eic@nafe.org. Abstracts for the Journal are selected based on a blind review by the editorial staff. The Editor-in-Chief does not vote in the process.

The deadline for 150-word maximum abstract submissions for the winter meeting is September 27. Get your abstracts in early – typically there are only 8 spots available per conference. After being reviewed and rated by the Editorial Board, abstracts (up to 8 papers and 2 backups) will be selected for the conference, and authors will be notified. The next key deadline will be 90% draft papers due on November 1, followed by PowerPoint drafts due on November 15.

Please let me know if you have questions or need help registering in OJS before submitting your abstract.

Administrative: Apologies for previous errors

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 00:23:21 +0000

Dear fellow NAFE member,

Thank you for your patience. As the new editor, I attempted to use the "announcement feature" and it had bugs. If all goes well, this should come to you without any mention of last summer's call for papers.

We not only have a new issue up, we now have Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and is being indexed as a technical peer reviewed journal, to include cross-referencing citation. I am asking all authors to revise their OJS bio to standard set of guidelines so we can properly post your information. More details are in the previous announcment at http://journal.nafe.org/ojs/index.php/nafe/announcement/view/7

Again, thank you for your support.

Bart Kemper
Editor In Chief, JotNAFE

Administrative: DOIs and your Biographical info

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 19:48:05 +0000

Dear OJS participant,

We are now "live" as a "technical academic journal". We have Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) that are part of our citation. You can place the DOI as a direct reference to a journal paper or entire issue and the link will take it to it's "official home" on the internet. Authors, free to put the DOI links on your website, in your newsletters, in your LinkedIn, or anywhere you want to publicize your work. We are still tweaking the system to maximize the Journal's exposure so your "Google Scholar," "OrcID," and other writer's profiles will not only track your publications but who is citing you.

Because of this, we ask every registrant to log in and check your bio. We did not provide proper guidance in filling out the forms so we have a range of data. THESE WILL NOT CHANGE THE EXISTING PAPERS AUTOMATICALLY. We have to "republish" the page to make the changes and want to give people time to make changes. Please check your profile information under the various tabs:

Under the first tab "Identity" -- put your writer's name including honorifics like "PE, DFE" in the block “how do you preferred to be addressed” line in the “Identity” tab under profile. You can use your full legal name or the name you work under. For example, my full name is "Clarence Barton Kemper III," but I go by "Bart Kemper" and publish as such unless the government says otherwise, so for this site I have "Bart Kemper, PE, DFE". It should be consistent with your past publications. Our only academic honorific is PhD or equivalent.

Next tab is “Contact” – "Affiliation" should be the person’s company, university, or agency

Next tab is “Public” tab -- Do not upload an image as we do not use them, but please check your bio. Keep in mind this will be viewable by potential clients, so be professional. It should about the same size as what fits the text box or small -- it's not your CV so it cannot be long, so please make it concise.

Thank you for all of your help as being part of the Journal. We cannot make this happen without our authors and reviewers. The Journal staff is dedicated to serving our primary readership, the NAFE membership.

Bart Kemper
Editor In Chief, JotNAFE
