## History

The Journal was founded in 1960 in order to publish papers presented at and stimulated by the spin-off interest arising from the annual International Machine Tool Design & Research Conferences, held alternatively at the University of Birmingham and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. Originally, it was titled, International Journal of Machine Tool Design and Research.[3] Professor S.A. Tobias,[4] as expert in machine tool dynamics at the University of Birmingham, was the founder of the journal and its first Editor-in-Chief.
Professor T.A. Dean,[5] an expert in metal forming processes, at the University of Birmingham, took over this Journal in 1986, when Professor S.A.Tobias died. On taking over, Professor Dean decided to reflect current developments in manufacturing technology by changing the focus of its aims and scope and renamed it International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture. Initially the Journal was published by Pergamon Press and in 1991 was bought by Elsevier.
In 2018, following Professor Dean’s retirement, Professor Dragos Axinte[6] of University of Nottingham, an expert in machining technology, became Editor-in-Chief.

## Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Engineering Index, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Applied Mechanics Reviews, Current Contents, COMPENDEX, Scopus,[7] INSPEC.[8]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2018 impact factor of 6.039 and a 5-year impact factor of 6.565.[9][1]
