Welcome to the Manuscript Management System (MMS)
of Mechanics & Industry

In order to register your new submission, you need to enter your author identifier. This is a unique and confidential number that is attributed to you upon your first submission to Mechanics & Industry. If you have submitted a paper to Mechanics & Industry before, you already have an author identifier. If you publish regularly with us, it is a good idea to note your author number for future reference.

If you are a new Mechanics & Industry author, you will be asked to fill out a registration form and an identifier will be attributed to you.

If you have forgotten your author identifier, click on New submission and follow the links for retrieving your number. You will be asked to enter your e-mail address and your identifier will be mailed to the given address if the MMS finds a correspondence between the e-mail address you entered and a Mechanics & Industry author.

If you have recently changed your e-mail address, do NOT fill out a new registration form, but instead contact the Editorial Office at editorial.meca@edpsciences.org and your author identifier will be communicated to you.
