5. Design, development and calibration (verification) of testing instruments, sensors, testing systems, calibration devices, test stands, testers, etc.

6. Discussions on measurement management mode and method; Comments on new standards and regulations at home and abroad; Discussion on issues in the implementation of national metrological verification regulations and calibration specifications.

7. Applications of various new technologies such as laser, infrared, nano，optical fiber sensing and quantum in the fields of metrology, testing, measurement and control.

8. Cross-disciplinary or interdisciplinary issues, whose contents are related to metrology and measurement, or whose theory, technology, equipment and materials are expected to solve the existing major technical challenges in the metrology and measurement field.

Main columns

With the development of metrology and measurement technology and the increasing demand of readers who are engaged in the research, development, teaching, production, application, operation and management of metrology and measurement technology, the column setting of this journal is constantly enriched and improved. After decades of practice, this journal has gradually set up more than ten columns, such as "Reviews", "Theory and method", "Metrology, measurement and calibration", "New technology and instrument", "Measurement informatization and management". We are also prepared to add some new columns in a timely and appropriate manner as needed, and truly make the journal an important media for academic discussion, technical exchange and experience introduction.

The followings are the introductions to the main columns of this journal.

Reviews: publish the development history and forecast, special discussion and summary of hot issues of measurement and testing technology. Among them, the contents of special discussion and summary of hot issues cover the introduction and comments of new standards and regulations at home and abroad; Comments on major technical and management initiatives, events with significant impacts or controversial issues that have aroused widespread concern in the measurement community at home and abroad.

New technology and instrument: publish the research and application examples of various new measurement, testing and calibration technologies; Design, development and application of new standard device, test system calibration device, test bench and tester. Design, development and application of testing instruments, sensors, digital, intelligent and virtual instruments, etc.

Theory and method: publish papers with strong theoretical and research nature. Inter- or cross-disciplinary issues can also be published in this column, but their contents should be related to metrology and measurement or their theories, technologies, materials and equipment are expected to solve the existing major technical difficulties in metrology and measurement field.

Metrology, measurement and calibration: publish the introduction of new methods of metrology, measurement, calibration and verification; discussion on maintenance, verification and repair methods of measurement instruments, sensors, etc.
