General
The Estonian Journal of Engineering publishes peer-reviewed primary research and review papers in the English language. Papers dealing with any aspect of engineering are welcome on fully international basis. The manuscripts submitted should meet the following requirements.
The title should be concise but informative. The arrangement of words is important for indexing purposes. A short running title should be provided.
The name(s), including one forename in full, affiliation(s), full address(es), and e-mail address(es) of the author(s) should follow the title of the paper. In the covering letter the corresponding author and his/her telephone and fax numbers should be indicated.

The abstract should be a self-contained summary of the paper, presenting concisely the objectives of the work reported, methodology, results, and conclusions. It should be limited to approximately 250 words. Mathematical expressions and citations in the abstract should be avoided. The abstract should be followed by key words (max seven).
The introduction should be a review of pertinent work, should cite appropriate references, and should also include a clear statement of the object of investigation. The manuscript should include also a summary in Estonian (not obligatory for foreign authors).
The volume of the manuscript (incl. references, summaries, illustrations, and tables) is preferably no more than 20 double-spaced pages.
It is essential that the paper be written in clear, proper English. Manuscripts requiring substantial improvement of English usage may be returned to the author(s) for revision before the review process. If English is not your native language, we recommend that you ask a native English speaker to read over your manuscript before submitting. The authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style (www.kirj.ee). The editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity.
