Journal Guide

The journal Electronic Materials Letters publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in electronic materials. Topics include electronic, magnetic, photonic, and nanoscale materials. The editors place emphasis on science, technology and applications of materials, especially on the relationships among the processing and structure of various materials and their mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, electronic, electrochemical, magnetic and optical properties. Coverage of processing includes thin film, nanostructure fabrication self-assembly, solidification, phase transformation, and bulk, as well as related topics in thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling. Electronic Materials Letters is an official journal of the Korean Institute of Metals and Materials.

Electronic Structure is a new multidisciplinary journal covering all theoretical and experimental aspects of electronic structure research, including the development of new methods. It is dedicated to the entirety of electronic structure research and its community, spanning materials science, physics, chemistry and biology.

Energy & Environmental Science is an international journal dedicated to publishing exceptionally important and high quality, agenda-setting research tackling the key global and societal challenges of ensuring the provision of energy and protecting our environment for the future. The scope is intentionally broad and the journal recognises the complexity of issues and challenges relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science. For work to be published it must be linked to the energy-environment nexus and be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership. All scales of studies and analysis, from impactful fundamental advances, to interdisciplinary research across the (bio)chemical, (bio/geo)physical sciences and chemical engineering disciplines are welcomed.

Energy Advances is a multidisciplinary journal that features cutting-edge science at the forefront of energy technology. The journal brings together research in chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, computer science, and techno-economical/ecological evaluation, with a particular focus on emerging materials and methods. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Batteries, supercapacitors, hybrid devices and other energy storage technologies • Bioenergy, biofuels and the biorefinery • Carbon capture, storage or utilisation • Catalysis and chemical engineering for energy applications • Fuel cells • Hydrogen production and storage • Modelling, machine learning and characterisation for energy materials & systems • Solar energy conversion and photovoltaics

Energy Storage Materials publishes comprehensive research articles, topical feature articles and invited reviews by leading experts in the field. Papers will be selected that have high scientific and technological merit, impart important new knowledge, and are of high interest to the international community of energy storage materials and devices. The journal also welcomes the manuscripts dealing with materials for clean and versatile use of energy, renewable energy, energy conversion, dissipation and transport in relation to energy storage, as well as with strategies and policies for developing advanced energy storage technologies.

Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.

EFM covers a broad range of topics in fracture mechanics to be of interest and use to both researchers and practitioners. Contributions are welcome which address the fracture behavior of conventional engineering material systems as well as newly emerging material systems. Contributions on developments in the areas of mechanics and materials science strongly related to fracture mechanics are also welcome. Papers on fatigue are welcome if they treat the fatigue process using the methods of fracture mechanics.The Editors especially solicit contributions which synthesize experimental and theoretical-computational studies yielding results with direct engineering significance.

Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal (JESTECH) (formerly Technology), a peer-reviewed quarterly engineering journal, publishes both theoretical and experimental high quality papers of permanent interest, not previously published in journals, in the field of engineering and applied science which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology and engineering. In addition to peer-reviewed original research papers, the Editorial Board welcomes original research reports, state-of-the-art reviews and communications in the broadly defined field of engineering science and technology.
