Is there a MEMS journal that will accept papers that are 'shop notes' ? What I mean by 'shop note' is a paper that discusses some small practical item or aspect of a process or commonly used piece of equipment ? The Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A has a section called shop note, where people publish these small, but very useful bits of information or tricks to solve common problems. Rev. Sci. Inst, also has a similar section. Most of these notes are less than a page in length. The reason I ask, is that I have some useful bits of information that I think would be useful to the MEMS community, but they are not worthy of full papers or offical letters. So, I am looking for an published outlet for these pieces of information. Ken Westra MicroFab at the University of Alberta
