)The Journal of Open Hardware is a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal for open-source hardware development.[1] The Journal publishes Hardware Metapapers which describe open-source research hardware, and is the currently the only scientific journal extending its peer review to hardware documentations hosted on external platforms.
The Journal also publishes full-length articles on Issues in Open Hardware—including socio-economic and legal issues related to open hardware—and review articles. The journal's encourages papers from across academic, professional, and non-academic communities.[2]
The journal is notable -- along with HardwareX published by Elsevier with which it competes -- for pioneering the definition of OSH both as an academic field and as a legal engineering concept. It has done this by defining its own publication requirements including details for how files are archived and licensed, and the quality of build instructions and bill of materials considered sufficient for replication of builds. This influence goes beyond its own publications to encourage other OSH projects, such as those found on github, to adopt similar standards.
The Journal of Open Hardware has strict guidelines to ensure that hardware complies with the OSHWA definition for open source hardware,[3] allowing hardware to be released under either copyleft licences (such as the CERN OHL or TAPR) or permissive open source licences. The Journal also requires projects to be documented up to a defined standard which is in line with the GOSH quality sharing guidelines.[4]
Abstracting and indexing
The journal is abstracted and indexed in CrossRef[5] and SHERPA/RoMEO.[6]
