Abstract
Materials science is increasingly at the forefront of both academic and societal progress. It is clear that these advances will continue to be shaped by cutting-edge research from across this field. As a discipline, materials science has rapidly grown in profile as one of the most vibrant and pioneering areas of study, resulting in substantial growth in the numbers of published articles and associated research materials. In order to expedite these discoveries and maximize their impact, ensuring the availability of open and reproducible materials science research is vitally important, as well as embracing the opportunities provided by emerging cross-disciplinary fields such as artificial intelligence. The open sharing of materials research and data can encourage further exploration, improving collaboration between researchers and, ultimately, accelerating the discovery, design, and deployment of new materials as well as new business models. Materials Open Research, a new publication venture from publishers F1000 and Taylor & Francis, has been conceived and launched with these principles in mind. All research shared on the platform will aim to provide impact, nurture innovation, and lead to a more sustainable future.
材料科学越来越处于学术和社会进步的前沿。很明显,这些进步将继续受到该领域尖端研究的影响。作为一门学科,材料科学已迅速成为最具活力和开拓性的研究领域之一,发表的文章和相关研究材料的数量大幅增长。为了加快这些发现并最大限度地发挥其影响,确保开放和可再生材料科学研究的可用性至关重要,同时也要抓住人工智能等新兴跨学科领域提供的机会。材料研究和数据的开放共享可以鼓励进一步的探索,改善研究人员之间的合作,并最终加速新材料和新商业模式的发现、设计和部署。Materials Open Research是F1000和Taylor&Francis出版社的一家新出版企业,其构思和推出都考虑到了这些原则。平台上共享的所有研究都将旨在提供影响力,培育创新,并引领更可持续的未来。
期刊介绍:
Materials Open Research is a rapid open access publishing platform for a broad range of materials science research. The platform welcomes theoretical, experimental, and modelling approaches on the properties, characterization, design, structure, classification, processing, and performance of materials, and their applications. The platform is open to submissions from researchers, practitioners and experts, and all articles will benefit from open peer review.
Materials research underpins many significant and novel technologies which are set to revolutionize our society, and Materials Open Research is well-suited to ensure fast and full access to this research for the benefit of the academic community, industry, and beyond.
The platform aims to create a forum for discussion and for the dissemination of research in all areas of materials science and engineering. This includes, but is not limited to, research on the following material classes:
● Biomaterials and biomedical materials
● Composites
● Economic minerals
● Electronic materials
● Glasses & ceramics
● Magnetic materials
● Metals & alloys
● Nanomaterials and nanostructures
● Polymers
● Porous materials
● Quantum materials
● Smart materials
● Soft matter
● Structural materials
● Superconducting materials
● Thin films
Materials Open Research also focuses on a range of applications and approaches within materials science, including but not limited to:
● Additive manufacturing
● Computational materials & modelling
● Materials in energy & the environment
● Materials informatics
● Materials synthesis and processing
In addition to original Research Articles, Materials Open Research will feature a variety of article types including Method Articles, Study Protocols, Software Tool Articles, Systematic Reviews, Data Notes, Brief Reports, and Opinion Articles. All research is welcome and will be published irrespective of the perceived level of interest or novelty; we accept confirmatory and replication studies, as well as negative and null results.
Materials Open Research is an Open Research Platform. All articles are published open access under a CC-BY license and authors benefit from fully transparent publishing and peer review processes. Where applicable, authors are asked to include detailed descriptions of methods and will receive editorial guidance on making all underlying data openly available in order to improve reproducibility. The platform will also provide the option to publish non-peer reviewed materials including technical reports, training materials, posters, slides, and other documents.
