Acta Materialia

ISSN: 1359-6454
5 Year impact factor: 9.3
Impact factor: 8.3

Published on behalf of Acta Materialia, Inc.Acta Materialia provides a forum for publishing full-length, original papers and commissioned overviews, and feature articles that advance the understanding of the relationship between the processing, the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. Acta 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.Short communications and comments to papers published in Acta Materialia may be submitted to Scripta Materialia.Manuscripts about materials that fall outside the scope of Acta Materialia or Scripta Materialia may be submitted to Materialia, which is part of the Acta Materialia family of journals.

5 Year impact factor: 6.2
Impact factor: 6.1

Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and ProcessingMaterials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.Please be advised that the Aims and Scope for the journal has recently been updated. The journal will no longer consider or publish papers on concrete and cement-based systems nor on polymeric and polymer-based materials. In addition, papers with an emphasis on corrosion or wear are discouraged, unless they specifically address novel mechanical behavior or related phenomena.

Matter

ISSN: 2590-2385
5 Year impact factor: 18.9
Impact factor: 17.3

Matter, a sister journal to Cell, is a monthly journal encompassing the general field of materials science, from nano to macro, fundamentals to application. Recognizing that materials discovery and development facilitate groundbreaking technologies bridging multiple disciplines, Matter will embrace all significant advances in materials research, encompassing the previously unknown and the innovative.A key focus will be on transformative research, related to fundamental structure, synthesis and assembly, properties and performance of emerging material systems, as well as novel characterization methods, thereby encapsulating key aspects of materials science. Materials of focus can be any state, any scale, any composition, i.e., any matter, with scientific or technological interest, theoretical or otherwise.Matter will highlight material type and scale of interest for each study, while also explicitly assessing the stage of material development. In this way, while still stressing fundamental science, materials advancement and progression can be tracked and put into context of potential impact, from concept to societal usage.Matter provides full-length research articles, reviews, topical perspectives, paper previews, opinions, personnel stories, and other editorial content of general interest to the global materials community. 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 materials scientists.Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Matter - http://www.cell.com/matter/home

Nanostructured Materials

ISSN: 0965-9773

The primary mission of the journal Nanostructured Materials is to provide a broad interdisciplinary forum for the effective dissemination of scientific and technical information on the synthesis, processing, theory, computational modeling, structure, properties, performance and applications of nanostructured materials. The materials of interest include metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, superconductors, and magnetic, optical and electronic materials, and their composites. Synthesis routes of interest include chemical and physical vapor deposition, mechanical attrition, gas phase pyrolysis and condensation, electrodeposition, cryochemical synthesis, laser pyrolysis, gel synthesis, and other methods with applications for structural materials, coatings, thin film devices, membranes, catalysts, sensors, etc.The following are major areas of concentration of the journal:Clusters and cluster assembled materials, Structure and characterization of nanophases, Synthesis and processing of nanostructured materials: physical, chemical, mechanical and biological methods, Properties: mechanical, electrical, optical, rheological, magnetic, etc., Performance and applications: tribology, corrosion, etc., Related fields such as: nanolithography, nanodevices, etc. Nanostructured Materials will rapidly publish mainly short research papers and regular invited review papers on scientific and technical issues in this rapidly evolving field. The journal will strive to maintain an international representation in published papers, and will, from time to time, co-sponsor regional, national and international meetings.For details of forthcoming conferences sponsored by the Acta Metallurgica Inc. journals see news item or click the following link(s):A report is available on the Third International Conference on Nanostructured Materials, Koma, Hawaii, July 7-12 1996 - you can access this through http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/report3ICNM/.
