Editorial Policy

Aims and Scope

Óbuda University e-Bulletin is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal of applied sciences publishing high-quality articles in min. 4 issues per year. The journal aims to provide an international forum for the publication of original research along with interpretative reviews and discussions of new scientific fields and developments.

The scope of the journal involves:

. Business Economics
. Education Science
. Engineering Science
. Safety Sciences

The overall focus of the journal is on original research results which have generic significance; however, well formulated research plans and reports of carefully executed experimental works are also welcome.

The Business Economics track invites manuscripts on economic issues and problems related to business organisation, enterprise management and strategy. Papers with a holistic approach addressing organisational culture, leadership and other interpersonal relations, as well as articles of functional approaches of business ventures are warmly welcome. The track also calls for articles on contemporary hot topics of economics such as SMEs, entrepreneurship and corporate responsibility.

The Education Science track invites papers dealing with theoretical and conceptual analysis of pedagogy as well as researches on the processes of teaching and learning. In addition to articles on practical issues, such as the means and methodology of creating an effective learning environment, or the management of educational institutions papers on more interpretative approaches of the topic like perceptions/motivation/willingness of those co-creating the teaching-learning process are gladly received.

The Engineering Science track invites submissions devoted to material sciences; and manufacturing as a complex process, involving topics such as measurements and quality management too. Papers addressing the planning, optimisation and technology of manufacturing (for instance cutting, melding, welding, forming, etc.) as well as articles about computer-integrated manufacturing systems (cad, capp, cam, caq, cim, ...) are warmly welcome. Studies on new, innovative technologies, like micro-machining, 3D printing, environmental friendly green technologies are also appreciated.

The Safety Sciences track invites papers on the theory and practice of organisational and human safety and security. Besides contingencialist researches on the effectiveness of defence systems, on the assessment, management and communication of risks or on management techniques and standard operating protocols, articles addressing behavioural approaches such as the antecedents and consequences of individual hazardous activities (decisions and actions) are awaited.
