Breve Histórico A REM - International Engineering Journal (antiga REM - Revista Escola de Minas) é a primeira revista técnica da América do Sul. Foi fundada em janeiro de 1936 pelos estudantes da Escola de Minas de Ouro Preto e, desde então, vem se especializando em publicar artigos nas áreas da Engenharia Civil, Geologia, Metalurgia & Materiais e Mineração e Mecânica & Energia. Com a mudança da capital de Ouro Preto para Belo Horizonte, algumas escolas se foram, mas houve resistência de muitos ex-alunos, contra transferir a Escola de Minas para Barbacena ou para a nova capital. A Escola de Minas ficara isolada, o que fez nascer, entre seus estudantes, a ideia de se criar uma revista técnico-científica, como forma de sair do isolamento a que Vila Rica fora colocada. Duas tentativas fracassaram: Auri-verde e Nossa revista. Mas, em 1936, a REM se tornou em uma realidade, e como escreveram o primeiro editor dela: esperamos transformar a atual tentativa em duradoura realização. Seu objetivo é de servir como meio de publicação para trabalhos originais e técnico-científicos dos pesquisadores nacionais e estrangeiros naquelas áreas. Contribuições originais (artigos e cartas) são aceitas. Artigos de revisão dependem de convite e/ou análise dos Editores. Conformidade com a Ciência Aberta Desde 2001, a REM faz parte da Coleção SciELO Brasil, passando a fazer parte das publicações de Ciência Aberta. O movimento Ciência Aberta propõe diretrizes para a prática científica colaborativa, compartilhada e pública, permitindo acesso gratuito a todos artigos publicados, em todos os domínios do conhecimento da revista. Em conformidade com as diretrizes de Ciência Aberta, a REM adota uma série de práticas, como a política de acesso livre, o código de boas práticas para editores, revisores e autores e o uso de redes sociais para divulgação de trabalhos publicados. A REM, incentiva o compartilhamento dos conjuntos de dados de análise, instrumentos, scripts de análise estatística, roteiros e materiais adicionais disponibilizados em repositórios online abertos de confiança caso não possam ser publicados no próprio trabalho, e essa informação deve ser indicada no manuscrito, em consequência, os artigos que comunicam pesquisas deverão indicar e referenciar a disponibilidade dos conteúdos subjacentes à elaboração da pesquisa e dos resultados obtidos. A REM requer a indicação precisa do papel de cada um dos autores em artigos com múltipla autoria. A REM incentiva publicação de artigos
