Microporous and Mesoporous Materials
The Official Journal of the International Zeolite AssociationMicroporo... and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.Topics which are particularly of interest include:All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solidsThe synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materialsThe physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopicThe modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactionsAll topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materialsAdsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbentsCatalysis by microporous and mesoporous materialsHost/guest interactionsTheoreti... chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactionsAll topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.The journal publishes original research papers, short communications, review articles and letters to the editor.

International Journal of Engineering Science
Incorporating Letters in Applied and Engineering SciencesThe International Journal of Engineering Science is not limited to a specific aspect of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. While it encourages a broad spectrum of contribution in the engineering sciences, its core interest lies in issues concerning material modeling and response. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome.The primary goal of the new editors is to maintain high quality of publications. There will be a commitment to expediting the time taken for the publication of the papers. The articles that are sent for reviews will have names of the authors deleted with a view towards enhancing the objectivity and fairness of the review process.Articles that are devoted to the purely mathematical aspects without a discussion of the physical implications of the results or the consideration of specific examples are discouraged. Articles concerning material science should not be limited merely to a description and recording of observations but should contain theoretical or quantitative discussion of the results.From time to time, the Journal will publish review articles and bring out special issues on a specific sub-field of engineering science. Authors are encouraged to contact the Editors if they would like to submit a review article or bring out a special issue of the Journal.The Editors reserve the right to reject papers without sending them out for review.Manuscripts focusing on applied aspects of engineering science can be submitted to the Journal?s open access companion title, Applications in Engineering Science .

Device
Device, a sister journal to Cell, is a monthly journal encompassing the applied research needed to make groundbreaking fundamental research into tomorrow's cutting-edge technology. The disciplines and expertise needed to build devices that positively impact human lives are diverse, and as such, Device will publish research in applied physics, computer science, chemistry, biology, engineering, and more as it applies to driving integrated, purpose-driven applications. Examples of topical areas of interest to the journal include but are by no means limited to:Water purificationEnergy harvesting and storageBiomedical devicesQuantum computers and photonic devices2D devices and materialsDevices meant for extreme and/or cryogenic conditionsHigh-perfo... and capacity memoryNanomaterialsS... devicesHeterogeneous devicesLaboratory robotics and automationArtificial intelligence and machine learning models relevant to applied researchComputationa... physics and modeling as related to device developmentInternet of Things devicesFlexible and wearable electronicsA key focus is on the integration of materials and concepts at multiple levels across the device-development pipeline. Inventing a new material is only part of the work required to implement it in a practically useful setting, much like an electrolyte that performs best under vacuum in initial studies may not be the ideal structure once real-world conditions are required. This is to say that Device will prioritize the form as well as the function of the advances considered in submitted research.Device highlights real-world implications of the research published where appropriate. Authors are encouraged to highlight and amplify the implications, challenges, and opportunities of their work across the entire field and beyond. Device will purposefully explore the sustainability, accessibility, ethics, and socioeconomic implications of device research throughout the entire journal.Device provides full-length research articles, reviews, topical perspectives, paper previews, opinions, research-team highlights, and other editorial content of general interest to the global device research community. Additionally, Device enthusiastically supports the submission and citation of reproduction files, such as .stl files used by 3D printers. The journal aims to be the premier resource for researchers in both academia and industry, providing a platform of inspiration for the next generation of device researchers.

Thin-Walled Structures
Thin-walled structures comprise an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, automotive, bridges, ships, oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold–formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering. Recently, this field has also been extended to include thin-walled nanostructures, such as 2D X-enes (e.g. graphene) and other related ones, and their mechanical and strength properties.The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin-Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.

Journal of Constructional Steel Research
The Journal of Constructional Steel Research provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in structural steel research and their applications in civil engineering. It is aimed not only at researchers but also at those likely to be most affected by research results, i.e. designers and fabricators. Original papers of a high standard dealing with all structural engineering aspects of steel and metal structures including theoretical and experimental research on the behaviour and strength of elements, assemblages, connections and material properties are considered for publication. Submissions substantially concerned with the strength of the concrete component in steel-concrete composite members, including shear stud connections, may not suit the journal.Those presenting research findings in a form suitable for practical use are especially welcome. Papers reporting work in progress will also be included, provided the long-term practical implications of the research are evident, as will state-of-the-art papers, or those by designers and fabricators dealing with issues bearing directly on research.The journal will also present technical notes, book reviews, discussions and letters to the Editor. It is intended that at intervals summaries will be included indicating current research activities throughout the world, and reports of conferences and meetings related specifically to constructional steelwork. Announcements of conference and symposia are also included in the form of a calendar.
