Fiz. Met.) was founded in 2000 (the state registration certificate of the printed mass mediumKB # 4160 as from 20.04.2000). In 2018, after the re-registration procedure, according to the assigned new registration certificateКВ # 23233-13073ПР as of 22.03.2018, in addition to thetransliteratedtitleUspehi Fiziki Metallov, the journal received an official parallel titleProgress in Physics of Metals(abbreviated title —Prog. Phys. Met.). In 2024, by decision of the National Council of Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine# 907 as from 21.03.2024, the journal was assigned the media identifier R30-03170 (seeaddendum to the decision of the National Council21.03.2024 # 907) in theregister of entities in the field of print media.The journal publishes review research articles (which comply with the principles ofpublication ethicsandrules for authors) comprisingreviews(i.e. overview papers summarising and analysing the current state of understanding on a topic) of experimental or/and theoretical results in physics and technology of metals, alloys, compounds, and materials possessing metallic or semimetallic properties. Reviews on monographs, data on the history of metal physics, information about advanced technologies, materials and devices, conferences and seminars may be considered as well. Thereviewpublications are designed to describe, analyse, and critically discuss new methods and approaches for creating extraordinary metallic materials with improved physical properties, capable of functioning in extreme conditions and suitable for meeting the ever-growing demands of scientific and technological progress.
