Aims & Scope


The Open Materials Science Journal is an open access online journal which publishes research articles, reviews, case studies, guest edited thematic issues and short communications/letters in all areas related to materials science.


The journal is committed to provide a platform for scientists working on natural and synthetic materials aimed at developing innovative novel concepts coupled with an understanding of basic theories and mechanisms. The scope of the journal covers theoretical aspects as well as practical applications of metals, alloys, metallic and non-metallic corrosion, refractories, ceramics, composites, polymers, fibres and fibre based materials, semiconductors, magnetic materials, nanomaterials, medical implants, biomaterials, forensic science, metallography, microtechnology, tribology, metamaterials, metallurgy, optical materials, natural materials, crystallography, textile reinforced materials, technical textiles and other related fields.


The Open Materials Science Journal, a peer-reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality papers rapidly and freely available to researchers worldwide.
