The JNE and its predecessor “Papers on Engineering Subjects” has been produced for naval engineers since 1920 with many of the articles being written by serving engineers and with no particular policy being applied for academic standards of originality. The editorial function is now being performed by BMT Defence Services with the MoD retaining a supervisory role.

BMT are keen to ensure that our constituency covers as wide a range of the professional naval engineering community as possible. We aim to serve not only the Royal Navy and the MoD but also the UK naval industry. Articles on general sea experience covering all naval engineering fields are most welcome in addition to those on the design and in-service aspects of marine engineering.

To allow us to continue the JNE with a good representation of articles from naval personnel who have served at sea and who are aware of technical developments across the field of naval engineering, we would like to ask if you have a paper which could be a candidate for publication. The paper may be one that has been presented before but which has been updated with subsequent experience or it may be a paper whose interest is for a small focus group which may be spread throughout the fleet.

The JNE is nominally published twice a year, in June and December. If you would like to know more about this opportunity to contribute to your profession, please email or call the MoD Sponsor or Editor-in-Chief for further information.
