Glass Physics and Chemistry (Fizika i Khimiya Stekla) is published bimonthly by the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Silicate Chemistry. Established in 1975, this journal presents results of structural, physical, and chemical properties in inorganic materials (glasses, ceramics, nanoparticles, nanocomposites, high temperature oxides and coatings) and phase equilibrium in inorganic system by Russian and foreign authors. Now published concurrently in English translation, the journal widens its availability to a worldwide community of glass scientists.

Glass and Ceramics reports on advances in basic and applied research and plant production techniques in glass and ceramics. The journal's broad coverage includes developments in the areas of silicate chemistry, mineralogy and metallurgy, crystal chemistry, solid state reactions, raw materials, phase equilibria, reaction kinetics, physicochemical analysis, physics of dielectrics, and refractories, among others. Glass and Ceramics is a translation of the peer-reviewed Russian journal Steklo i Keramika. The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.

Green Chemistry provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. Based on the, but not limited to, the twelve principles of green chemistry defined by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998). Green chemistry is, by definition, a continuously-evolving frontier. Therefore, the inclusion of a particular material or technology does not, of itself, guarantee that a paper is suitable for the journal. To be suitable, the novel advance should have the potential for reduced environmental impact relative to the state of the art. Green Chemistry does not normally deal with research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues.

"I consider High Performance Polymers to be a valued publication: one that I consult regularly to keep me abreast of research developments in the chemistry and technology of performance polymers and composites." Ian Hamerton, University of Surrey, UKThe Journal of High Performance Polymers is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research in high performance polymer science and technology.With a principal focus on molecular structure/processability/property relationships of high performance polymers such as liquid crystalline polymers, aromatic polymers, aramids, hetercyclic polymers, epoxy resin, fluoropolymers, siloxanes, functionalized polymers and inorganic polymers.Electronic access:High Performance Polymers is available electronically on SAGE Journals Online at http://hip.sagepub.com.

Oxidation of Metals is the premier source for the rapid dissemination of current research on all aspects of the science of gas-solid reactions at temperatures greater than about 400ËšC, with primary focus on the high-temperature corrosion of bulk and coated systems. This authoritative bi-monthly publishes original scientific papers on kinetics, mechanisms, studies of scales from structural and morphological viewpoints, transport properties in scales, phase-boundary reactions, and much more. Articles may discuss both theoretical and experimental work related to gas-solid reactions at the surface or near-surface of a material exposed to elevated temperatures, including reactions with oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbon and halogens. In addition, Oxidation of Metals publishes the results of frontier research concerned with deposit-induced attack. Review papers and short technical notes are encouraged.

Hydrometallurgy aims to compile studies on novel processes, process design, chemistry, modelling, control, economics and interfaces between unit operations, and to provide a forum for discussions on case histories and operational difficulties.Topics covered include: leaching of metal values by chemical reagents or bacterial action at ambient or elevated pressures and temperatures; separation of solids from leach liquors; removal of impurities and recovery of metal values by precipitation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, gaseous reduction, cementation, electro-winning and electro-refining; pre-treatment of ores by roasting or chemical treatments such as halogenation or reduction; recycling of reagents and treatment of effluents.

Launched in January 1998, Inorganic Chemistry Communications is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of short communications in the major areas of inorganic, organometallic and supramolecular chemistry. Topics include synthetic and reaction chemistry, kinetics and mechanisms of reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, photochemistry and the use of metal and organometallic compounds in stoichiometric and catalytic synthesis or organic compounds.Papers merely reporting X-ray structural data will not be considered.Inorganic Chemistry Communications publishes occasional concise reviews.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Inorganic Materials (Neorganicheskie Materialy) was established in 1965; the journal contains reviews, original papers, and news about chemistry, physics, and applications of various inorganic materials including high-purity substances and materials. The journal discusses phase equilibria, including P–T–X diagrams, and the fundamentals of inorganic materials science, which determines preparatory conditions for compounds of various compositions with specified deviations from stoichiometry. Inorganic Materials is a multidisciplinary journal covering all classes of inorganic materials.

IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Magazine communicates to readers the activities and actions of the IEEE SMC Society's governing body, its Technical Committees, and Chapters. Furthermore, the magazine offers educational material such as technical review papers, publishes contributions on educational activities, industrial and university profiles, conference news, book reviews, a calendar of important events, and provides information on the activities of sister non-IEEE SMC bodies.

Insight – Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring is the Journal of The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing. It was launched in April 1994, replacing the former British Journal of Non-Destructive Testing and incorporating, in quarterly issues, the former European Journal of Non-Destructive Testing.
