NPG Asia Materials

Aims & Scope

NPG Asia Materials is an open access, international journal publishing peer-reviewed review and primary research articles that cover all aspects of the materials sciences. The journal is global in outlook and reach and its base in the Asia-Pacific reflects the substantial — and increasing — output of materials research from the region. NPG Asia Materials is aimed at an audience of scientists and researchers across the full spectrum of materials research, and publishes articles from the physical and chemical sciences, biotechnology and nanotechnology. The journal welcomes high-quality review and research articles from the most rapidly advancing fields that lie at the borders between materials science and engineering and the classical disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology. The journal features both theoretical and experimental aspects of research in the following areas related to materials science: Biomaterials and biosensors Electronic, magnetic and superconducting materials Energy conversion, catalysis and separation Inorganic, composite and hybrid materials Metals and alloys Nanomaterials Optics, photonics and optoelectronics Organic, carbon-based and soft materials Theory, modelling and simulations Emphasis is placed on the novelty of the research, either in the sense of novel materials or synthetic methods, or in the sense of novel properties that lead to advanced functionality and applications of previously known materials. Both experimental and theoretical studies will be considered for publication. Studies on synthetic methods should demonstrate the generality of the approach or the advance represented in applying the material to practical devices. Equally, research on advances in methodology, processes or applied device engineering should demonstrate more than an incremental improvement on existing system and so be of the highest possible interest to our broad readership.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
