AIMS AND SCOPEOver the last two decades we have witnessed significant increases in the use of light metals such as Al, Mg, Ti, Li, etc. Furthermore, the consumption rate of these materials is continually increasing due to societal pressures for high performance, lighter weight materials, as well as due to growing demands for battery materials.Journal of Light Metals will publish original work, which advances the knowledge base of light metals in the domains of processing, microstructure development, and resultant properties and performance. A subscription will provide readers with access to the LightMetals.net and four issues a year of the print journal.LightMetals.net offers light metals researchers in academia and industry, on-line access to the world's light metals research and news. Papers will be published at http://www.lightmetals.netwww.lightmetals.net and in the Journal of Light Metals, to fulfil archiving requirements. The web component will also comprise additional abstracts, encyclopaedia articles, patents, proceedings, and relevant review papers from other print journals. A live link with Compendex generates additional suggestions of related research based on the keywords of papers appearing in the appropriate journal.LightMetal.net's mission is to be the comprehensive and user friendly portal to the most recent knowledge base in Light Metals.

Progress in Materials Science publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials and their exploitation in engineering and other applications. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental aspects of the subject, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical or biomedical). Authors of reviews in Progress in Materials Science are active leaders in materials science and have a strong scientific track record in the field of the review.

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials

ISSN: 1468-6996

As of 2008 no longer published by Elsevier, please contact the National Institute of Materials Science in JapanAIMS AND SCOPEBackground: To date, there are many Journals dealing with materials and their functions. For most of them, however, the core is generally derived from the separate viewpoints of physics, chemistry, and electronics, not necessarily from that of multifaceted materials themselves.It has been recognized that the key issues in the development of the advanced materials field in the future, is how to realize the fruits of the advances in Materials Science and Engineering research, as evidenced by the block of knowledge stored in the Materials' archives for the last 30 years.In order to attain the purpose, each researcher is encouraged to develop his/her specialist field by gaining knowledge from all the fields of multifaceted materials, functions, and processing.This point of view is in direct contrast to the concepts expressed through the established, traditional journals.Purpose and scope: Science and Technology of Advanced Materials offers an international forum presenting refereed original contributions at the forefront of materials science research, and occasionally includes reviews of articles in the rapidly growing fields of materials research, such as nano-, bio- and ecomaterials. We also publishes special issues featuring on-going research projects and other materials research activity.The journal publishes research involving all aspects of materials science, including theoretical analysis, synthesis and processing, phase and structure analyses, characterization, properties, engineering and applications. Emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary nature of materials science and particularly close attention is paid to the latest trends in materials research.The multi-faceted nature of materials science is more prominent in the rapidly-growing nanotechnology-related fields, where researchers are confronted by the necessity not only to develop their specialty within the specific scientific field, but also to gain knowledge from various other fields of materials science. The interdisciplinary nature of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials will help readers to understand various aspects of materials research outside their own core expertise.

Scripta Materialia

ISSN: 1359-6462
5 Year impact factor: 5.7
Impact factor: 5.3

Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The scope and aims of Scripta Materialia are identical to Acta MaterialiaScripta Materialia prioritizes papers that significantly move the field forward, advancing the thinking in the field and providing mechanistic processing-structure-property connections. Explorations of such connections by experiment, computation, theory, data science, and machine learning are all welcome; studies that connect across theory, computation, and experiment through mechanistic means are especially relevant. Materials structure at all scales is of interest, from electronic, atomic, and molecular arrangements to microstructural elements, including crystal defects, polycrystalline and polyphase structures, and spanning to macrostructures formed by processing that impact properties and performance. The connection of these structural features to all kinds of properties is of interest, including mechanical and functional properties, thermodynamics and kinetics, phase transformations, etc. In addition to original contributions, Scripta Materialia publishes comments on papers published in Acta Materialia and Scripta Materialia. The journal also publishes Viewpoints, which are invited short articles focused on topics of current interest within the scope of the journal and coordinated by invited guest editors.
