Aims & Scope

The 2024 CiteScore calculation for Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion is 6.8! The Editors-in-Chief have also obtained Springer Nature's 2025 Editorial Contribution Award for their work on the journal. This award recognises the meticulous assessment of submissions and rigorous management of the peer review process, safeguarding the scientific accuracy of the published record. Read more here. Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion publishes papers in all aspects of tribo-corrosion, ranging from biological environments to green energy technologies to bio-degradable metals and polymer composites. Rigorously reviewed research papers and reviews in the journal cover a broad range of subjects such as corrosion, tribo-corrosion of coatings and thin films, sliding-corrosion, fretting-corrosion, microabrasion-corrosion, tribo-corrosion models, bio-tribo-corrosion, surface engineering and materials, nano-corrosion, and surface modifications (nanotube and texturing) to improve tribocorrosion resistance by keeping biocompactability and cell viability. Specific topics include: Sliding wear, abrasion (including micro-abrasion), erosion, fretting, and fatigue interactions with corrosion Models and mechanistic maps Biological processes such as hip and knee joint wear, wear of dental materials, and wear of artificial heart vales Renewable technologies, such as wave, wind (including offshore), and tidal power Conventional energy, including nuclear, oil and gas, and combined cycle coal conversion Lubricants and tribo-corrosion interactions with lubrication, including bio-oils Case studies and rapid communications on hot topics Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion employs a single-blind peer review process.
