關(guān)于船廠技術(shù)和商船生產(chǎn)問題的原始和及時的技術(shù)文件出現(xiàn)在本季刊中。自成立以來，《船舶生產(chǎn)與設(shè)計雜志》（原《船舶生產(chǎn)雜志》）一直是學(xué)術(shù)界和工業(yè)界同行評審、專業(yè)編輯論文的論壇。因此，它作為一門完全合格的專業(yè)學(xué)科，影響了世界船舶生產(chǎn)工程的發(fā)展。擴大的范圍尋求在其他領(lǐng)域的論文，特別是船舶設(shè)計，包括生產(chǎn)設(shè)計，加上其他海洋技術(shù)主題，如船舶運營，航運經(jīng)濟(jì)和安全。每一期都包含了與海洋專業(yè)人士有關(guān)的全面的技術(shù)論文選集。

Original and timely technical papers addressing problems of shipyard techniques and production of merchant and naval ships appear in this quarterly publication. Since its inception, the Journal of Ship Production and Design (formerly the Journal of Ship Production) has been a forum for peer-reviewed, professionally edited papers from academic and industry sources. As such it has influenced the worldwide development of ship production engineering as a fully qualified professional discipline. The expanded scope seeks papers in additional areas, specifically ship design, including design for production, plus other marine technology topics, such as ship operations, shipping economics, and safety. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of technical papers relevant to marine professionals.
