Call for papers
We invite researchers, professionals, and students to submit original contributions to the Latin American Congress on Mechanical Engineering (COLIM 2025). As a leading forum in the region, COLIM promotes the exchange of knowledge, innovation, and collaboration across the mechanical engineering community.
Submissions should address contemporary challenges and advancements within the field, aligned with the congress’ core thematic areas.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Only manuscripts written in English will be considered for review and publication.
Papers must be under 6 pages in length, following the official format guidelines.
Submissions will go through a rigorous double-blind peer review, evaluated by three reviewers per paper.
Evaluation criteria include originality, methodology, relevance, and technical soundness.
All papers will be checked for plagiarism; the similarity index must be below 20%.
