Is a description of product development work suitable for a journal paper? I have worked on a project to develop a machine which is a end-of-arm-tooling type. I am thinking about bringing this work to a journal paper.

It means the content might include product design information, hardware &amp; software and testing data

Is this type of work suitable for a journal paper? So far, in my field of computer vision and robotics control, I rarely see such direction of publication. I am not sure it is popular in elsewhere branch

There's also a wondering I have is that the review section of this journal mostly will have to mention available similar industry products instead of mentioning other journal papers (I haven't been able to find journals talking about product designs somewhere). And it's clear that citing company products is a weak citation I personally think because the source is the company's website which is providing advertising information
Academic journals generally publish papers describing original research results that advance (or try to advance) a particular field of study.  Development of a product is not necessarily an original research result.


Does your design involve a new approach or technique that has not previously been used in the field? Does it represent a new way of thinking about a problem? Then it may be an original research result.
Is your design an application or straightforward extension of previously known techniques, possibly with some small tweaks and optimizations? Then it may be a great new product, but is probably not a research result.
