Aims & Scope

Materials Research Ibero-american Journal of Materialsé um periódico internacional dedicada à pesquisa experimental, teórica e de simulação sobre processamento, estrutura e propriedades dos materiais. Devido à alta demanda de artigos recebidos para publicação, a partir de 2012 até 2022 a periodicidade da revista Materials Research foi alterada de 4 para 6 edições anuais. A partir de 2022 foi adotado um volume anual contínuo para artigos regulares e um ou dois suplementos especiais de eventos. Seu título abreviado éMater. res.(São Carlos), que deve ser usado em bibliografias, notas de rodapé, referências bibliográficas e legendas. Materials Research segue o modelo de Acesso Aberto (Open Acess), permitindo o acesso virtual, sem restrição (incluindo restrições financeiras), a todos os textos científicos publicados pelo periódico. Acesso aberto é a condição em que o detentor dos direitos autorais de um trabalho acadêmico concede direitos de uso a terceiros usando uma licença aberta (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY 4.0), permitindo acesso gratuito imediato ao trabalho e autorizando qualquer usuário a ler, baixar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, pesquisar ou vincular os textos completos dos artigos, rastreá-los para indexação, passá-los como dados para software ou usá-los para qualquer outra finalidade legal. O movimento deCiência Abertavaloriza a colaboração, a transparência e o acesso público ao conhecimento científico. Alinhada a esses princípios, aMaterials Researchadota práticas como:
