These areas can send work-related basic and applied research, university and professional analysis and reflection, disclosure issues, software development, implementation and evaluation sotfware and commercial development and adaptation of processes, analytical methods and laboratory new methods and experimental techniques, analysis of industrial processes, product development, process optimization and control, instrumentation, optimization of resources, technical-economic assessment, etc.

Two letters to the major: The authors should contact the Editor on several occasions during the publication process. However, there are two important letters that we believe should be formalized: a cover letter is sent when the work for publication, and the other is to be sent by the authors when they send the corrected version in the final version. The first sentence should include a related ethical issues we decided to include a commitment by the authors of adjustment to international ethical standards. The second is essential for the final review process, especially when the referees and the editor requested modifications to the older work.

The publisher reserves the right to make changes for a better presentation of work. Considering that article is sent directly copied, the final responsibility is the writing or authors (as) and responsibility for print quality and alignment with international standards is the CIT.
