Journal Title：Matter

Matter, a sister journal to Cell, is a monthly journal encompassing the general field of materials science, from nano to macro, fundamentals to application. Recognizing that materials discovery and development facilitate groundbreaking technologies bridging multiple disciplines, Matter will embrace all significant advances in materials research, encompassing the previously unknown and the innovative.

A key focus will be on transformative research, related to fundamental structure, synthesis and assembly, properties and performance of emerging material systems, as well as novel characterization methods, thereby encapsulating key aspects of materials science. Materials of focus can be any state, any scale, any composition – i.e., any Matter - with scientific or technological interest, theoretical or otherwise.

Matter will highlight material type and scale of interest for each study, while also explicitly assessing the stage of material development, click here for more details. In this way, while still stressing fundamental science, materials advancement and progression can be tracked and put into context of potential impact, from concept to societal usage.

Matter provides full-length research articles, reviews, topical perspectives, paper previews, opinions, personnel stories, and other editorial content of general interest to the global materials community. The journal aims to be the premier resource for researchers in both academia and industry, providing a platform of inspiration for the next generation of materials scientists.

Matter 是 Cell 的姊妹雜志，是一份月刊，涵蓋材料科學(xué)的一般領(lǐng)域，從納米到宏觀，從基礎(chǔ)到應(yīng)用。認(rèn)識(shí)到材料的發(fā)現(xiàn)和開(kāi)發(fā)促進(jìn)了跨學(xué)科的突破性技術(shù)，Matter 將涵蓋材料研究的所有重大進(jìn)展，包括以前未知的和創(chuàng)新的。

重點(diǎn)將放在變革性研究上，涉及基本結(jié)構(gòu)、合成和組裝、新興材料系統(tǒng)的性質(zhì)和性能以及新穎的表征方法，從而涵蓋材料科學(xué)的關(guān)鍵方面。重點(diǎn)材料可以是任何狀態(tài)、任何規(guī)模、任何成分 - 即任何物質(zhì) - 具有科學(xué)或技術(shù)興趣，理論或其他方面。

Matter 將重點(diǎn)介紹每項(xiàng)研究的材料類(lèi)型和感興趣的規(guī)模，同時(shí)明確評(píng)估材料開(kāi)發(fā)的階段，單擊此處了解更多詳細(xì)信息。這樣，在仍然強(qiáng)調(diào)基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)的同時(shí)，可以跟蹤材料的進(jìn)步和發(fā)展，并將其置于從概念到社會(huì)應(yīng)用的潛在影響背景中。

Matter 提供完整的研究文章、評(píng)論、主題觀點(diǎn)、論文預(yù)覽、觀點(diǎn)、人員故事和其他全球材料界普遍感興趣的編輯內(nèi)容。該期刊旨在成為學(xué)術(shù)界和工業(yè)界研究人員的首要資源，為下一代材料科學(xué)家提供靈感平臺(tái)。

Matter創(chuàng)刊于2019年，由ELSEVIER出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY全領(lǐng)域，在行業(yè)領(lǐng)域中學(xué)術(shù)影響力很大，屬于國(guó)際一流期刊，關(guān)注度和專(zhuān)業(yè)度非常高，所以對(duì)原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性很高，過(guò)審難度很高，如果您有志于一流期刊，建議關(guān)注此刊。平均審稿速度 Time to first decision: 1.46 weeks; Review time: 2.94 weeks ，影響因子指數(shù)17.3，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
