About Ventil
Ventil is a scientific as well a professional magazine, publishing the results of research-and-development work at universities, institutes and companies on fluid power, automation and mechatronics. The magazine aims to provide information about Slovenian companies, their products and events concerning the above-mentioned fields as well as creating connections between Slovenian industry and research, and between Slovenian companies and global production. To make the field of fluid power techniques, automation and mechatronics more popular, especially among the young, is an additional task of the magazine. The magazine also pays particular attention to the use of professional terminology in the above-mentioned fields.
The contributions of Slovenian and foreign authors can be published in Ventil in either Slovenian or English. To the articles written in Slovene, an abstract in English will be added. For the case of articles written in English, an extended abstract in Slovene will be added. Members of the Scientific Professional Publisher Board are distinguished experts from Slovenia and abroad. The magazine is sent to many foreign countries and a magazine exchange is conducted in Europe. Ventil is also included in the INSPEC database.
The importance of Ventil for professional people in Slovenia is evidenced by its 31 years of publication. The Editorial Board and the Scientific Professional Publisher Board make every effort to ensure a high quality level and the relevancy of the publications, and are dedicated to increasing their efforts so that the level of quality in the future will be maintained or become even higher. Therefore, the Scientific Professional Publisher Board includes well-known scientists, researchers and experts. Using their professional influence and their knowledge in their own specific fields, they encourage others to publish the results of their research-and-development work.
The magazine Ventil is well known in the field of fluid power; however, greater visibility in the field of automation and mechatronics is also a goal. By publishing in the magazine, the achievements of Slovenian science and industrial production are effectively promoted. The magazine is now, and will be in the future, the place for the introduction of high-quality development and research achievements in the Slovenian industry and research sphere in the area of fluid power, automation and mechatronics.
The Editorial Board observes the development and scientific research work at home and abroad via scientific conferences, workshops and seminars and from foreign periodicals.
