Welcome from our Editors
“We’re truly excited about the addition of Materials Advances to the Journal of Materials Chemistry family. The JMC journals have become go-to publications for readers and authors in the materials chemistry community, and we’re proud to add another venue for high-quality work to the portfolio. Materials Advances is gold open access, and is also free-to-publish in for the first two years, meaning it will have a large, international audience, and be fully accessible to all. Along with our international and diverse team of associate editors, we look forward to receiving your submissions, and supporting further advances to the field of materials science.”
Free to read
Materials Advances is an international, gold open access journal, publishing high-quality research across the breadth of materials science.
Free to read, the journal builds on and complements the materials research published in the 新月直播app下载 journal portfolio.
Interdisciplinary & thorough
We are home for high quality, reproducible research that makes an important advance to the existing literature. With our journals, we provide complete coverage of crucial advances.
Affordable gold
All materials researchers should have a quality, subject-focused option for publishing open access. Our APCs are lower than the industry average, and discounts and waivers are available to make publishing open access achievable and sustainable.
Family connections
Our materials journals work together to make sure research reaches the right audience. Sharing an editorial board with our Journal of Materials Chemistry journal family allows smooth article transfers and a consistent assessment process.
A trusted society publisher
The Materials Advances publishing experience comes with the reputation, standards, commitment and expertise you would expect from an 新月直播app下载 journal, plus the visibility boost that comes from being open access and part of the Journal of Materials Chemistry family.
Journal scope
Published fortnightly, the journal accepts experimental or theoretical studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials, building on and complementing the materials content already published across the 新月直播app下载 journal portfolio.
Submissions are initially assessed and taken through peer review by our high profile associate editors, all of whom also look after submissions to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C. A single-anonymised peer review model is used and a minimum of two reviewer reports are required. Our editors are internationally recognised in their respective areas, and taking responsibility for these journals will ensure a common overview and consistent application of expertise – streamlining the assessment process for authors and reviewers.
Our materials journal family
Materials Advances is part of our materials family of journals, which also includes Materials Horizons and Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C. The journals provide full coverage of interdisciplinary advances in materials science.
