Computational Materials Science
The aim of the journal is to publish papers that advance the field of computational materials science through the application of modern computational methods alone or in conjunction with experimental techniques to discover new materials and investigate existing inorganic materials, such as metals, ceramics, composites, semiconductors, nanostructures, 2D materials, metamaterials, and organic materials, such as polymers, liquid crystals, surfactants, emulsions, and also hybrid materials combining both inorganic and organic components such as polymer nanocomposites, nanocrystal superlattices or surfactant nanoparticle mixtures.Papers that report on the development of new methods, enhancement of existing approaches or significant technical computational advances are of interest.Papers with a focus on simulations must contain new conceptual or computational advances. For example, molecular dynamics using standard force fields, ordinary techniques and reporting conventional average quantities will be rejected without review. Validation of non-first-principles methods and transferability of methods must be included as part of each submission. In-depth discussion of impact, physical properties, and motivation for the system under study is strongly recommended.Studies including experimental data are of interest, but they must address a relevant theoretical/computat... question. Papers that are deemed to be primarily experimental with some supporting theory will be returned without review.Data-driven techniques in materials research, including machine-learning enhanced simulations and materials informatics, have emerged as powerful techniques to complement traditional computational materials science. Consistent with established best practices in across data-driven science, it is important that studies proposing or applying data-driven techniques provide data and code that adhere to FAIR data principles- Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. FAIR data access also ensures a robust peer review process where results can be reproduced by referees. Papers that are deemed to be primarily methodological but do not provide FAIR data and code will be returned without review. In a few rare cases, some limitations may prevent the complete public sharing of code and data; for instance, when the data or code is subject to copyright or intellectual property. However, these cases should be rare and considered on a case-by-case basis. The scope of the journal includes:obtaining new or enhanced insights into material behavior, properties and phenomena,predicting structure-property relationships for new materials in conjunction with data informatics,novel capabilities of computational methods and algorithms, technical software and shareware, or cyberinfrastructures... are accepted in the form of critical reviews, articles, letters and perspectives. Occasional special issues will be organized around a particular theme and some of these will be guest edited.Not all topics that potentially fall under the category of computational materials science will be considered; to find out more please visit the Guide for Authors.Guide for Authors:Research articles will be assessed based on originality, uniqueness and scientific merit. Manuscripts with significant overlap with existing reported works are likely to be inadmissible.To be considered for publication in Computational Materials Science studies proposing or applying data-driven techniques must exhibit a high degree of novelty in application and interpretation, in addition to providing FAIR-compatible data and code to support their analysis. the data and code used to generate your models are not available. This is achievable in different ways, not limited to posting code on a publicly available GitHub repository and/or data on Zenodo, including the code and data as attachments to the manuscript, or as a docker container.Not all topics that potentially fall under the category of computational materials science will be considered. Submissions that emphasize small molecules or clusters, focus on the design of components for structural applications, describe performance of an electronic device, or characterize thermal or mass transport without extensive accompanying input and associated discussion from computational materials science methods are best suited for other specialized journals. Additionally, papers that focus on continuum mechanical responses of broad classes of materials are likely better suited for journals that specialize in the mechanics of materials. Papers on biomolecules, drugs, bone, or medical applications will not be considered. In addition, papers on materials such as asphalt, cement, concrete, and related materials will be rejected without review.- ISSN: 0927-0256

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcomed, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives, and Outreach to the General Public.Main Categories: Full-length articles: Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications. The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications. The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechan... Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.Review articles: Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.Other Categories: Critical Focused Issues - consist of single articles on emerging topics of interest. Articles in this category identify problems of current interest that need to be addressed in the future in order to advance an emerging subfield of magnetism. By identifying such open issues, they focus the interest of the community to the challenges ahead. Thus, unlike review articles, this category will aim more on the future and what needs to be explored, rather than on what has been explored in the past. Of course, the articles include a review aspect in order to identify the open issues and put them into perspective. The articles need not be long, exhaustive or comprehensive. They provide the vision of the authors, who are recognized experts in the field. Readers utilize these articles to focus their thinking on future endeavors. These articles should also help to generate proposals to funding agencies worldwide. Current Perspectives - Current Perspectives consists of clusters of articles on emerging topics of interest. The articles have guest editors who formulate and manage the intellectual scope of the project. A cluster is composed of authors who represent their own perspective and who possess diverse opinions on facets of the topic. A cluster, in its totality, provides a balanced point of view, while each individual article is free to be discriminating. The articles within a cluster have invited status, the articles are typically of short-to-medium length, and the reference lists must be adequate but not necessarily extensive. The clusters are expected to focus not only on what is known, but also on what the open questions are that need to be addressed in the future. The articles should be written at a level that inspires the next generation of graduate students. The guest editors typically provide an overview article to tie the cluster together thematically. Outreach to the General Public - These are articles of a general nature that highlight the importance of magnetism and stimulate the interest of the public at large. A heightened awareness of magnetism is healthy for our field. Experts who have given public lectures will be encouraged to submit their work in order for them to reach a larger community. It will also help our readers in their own communications with the public. These articles need not be long, exhaustive or comprehensive. They provide the vision of the authors. Providing the public with the importance of magnetism and magnetic materials at a level that can be understood and appreciated will be a public service. It will also inspire a new generation of students, have a positive influence on science policy, and strengthen the case of our community in the eyes of funding agencies worldwide.Benefits to authorsPlease see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
