Journal Guide

Beginning with a vision of a "materials-blind" society in the late 1960s, a few forward-looking individuals, with an eye toward advancing the cause of interdisciplinary research, made that vision a reality--the Materials Research Society, officially founded in 1973. The Society's core principles were interdisciplinarity, focused symposia, and greater interaction among researchers. These principles make MRS different from single-discipline professional societies because they encourage communication and technical information exchange across the various fields of science affecting materials.

The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.

The Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics (JMFM) is a forum for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed papers on the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics, with special regards to the Navier-Stokes equations. As an important part of that, the journal encourages papers dealing with mathematical aspects of computational theory, as well as with applications in science and engineering. The journal also publishes in related areas of mathematics that have a direct bearing on the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics. All papers will be characterized by originality and mathematical rigor.

The journal (under its former title Optica Acta ) was founded in 1953 - some years before the advent of the laser - as an international journal of optics. Since then optical research has changed greatly; fresh areas of inquiry have been explored, different techniques have been employed and the range of application has greatly increased. The journal has continued to reflect these advances as part of its steadily widening scope.Journal of Modern Optics aims to publish original contributions to optical knowledge from educational institutions, government establishments and industrial R&D groups world-wide. The whole field of classical and quantum optics is covered. Papers may deal with the applications of fundamentals of modern optics, considering both experimental and theoretical aspects of contemporary research. In addition to regular papers, there are topical and tutorial reviews, and special issues on highlighted areas. General topics covered include:*Optical and photonic materials (inc. metamaterials)* Plasmonics and nanophotonics* Quantum optics (inc. quantum information)*Optical instrumentation and technology (inc. detectors, metrology, sensors, lasers)* Coherence, propagation, polarization and manipulation (classical optics)* Scattering and holography (diffractive optics)* Optical fibres and optical communications (inc. integrated optics, amplifiers)* Vision science and applications* Medical and biomedical optics* Nonlinear and ultrafast optics (inc. harmonic generation, multiphoton spectroscopy)* Imaging and Image processingTopical and Tutorial ReviewsIn order to best provide optical scientists with the highest quality information on current research topics, Journal of Modern Optics publishes two styles of review articles: topical reviews and tutorial reviews. Topical reviews are aimed primarily at the specialist already working on the topic covered or in a closely related area. Tutorial reviews emphasize the basics and are aimed at a structured introduction to a topic assuming little previous background knowledge.If you are interested in writing a review article for the journal, please send a one page synopsis explaining its topicality and likely content to j.marangos@imperial.ac.uk . It will be considered by the Editorial Board and then may lead to an invitation to submit a full review.Special IssuesPlease note that Journal of Modern Optics has a general policy of NOT publishing full conference proceedings. The Journal only publishes Special Issues - on occasion, these may often overlap heavily with work presented at a specific conference on the topic of the Special Issue but we do not publish conventional conference proceedings. Contributions to Journal of Modern Optics Special Issues must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.Listed in Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report Science Edition.

The Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics serves as an international publication organ for new ideas, insights and results on non-equilibrium phenomena in science, engineering and related natural systems. The central aim of the journal is to provide a bridge between science and engineering and to promote scientific exchange on* newly observed non-equilibrium phenomena* analytic or fuzzy models for their interpretation* new methods to describe non-equilibrium phenomena.The journal addresses mechanical, chemical, and biochemical engineers, physicists, chemists and applied mathematicians, as well as computational scientists. Contributions should present novel approaches to analyzing, modeling and optimizing processes of engineering relevance such as transport processes of mass, momentum and energy, separation of fluid phases, reproduction of living cells, and many others. Highest priority is given to contributions which add to the basic understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena in engineering and related natural systems.The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles, short communications and “comment-and-reply-notes” on papers already published.

Subjects considered suitable for the journal include the following (not necessarily in order of importance):

• Theoretical, computational and experimental studies of naturally or technologically relevant flow problems where the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid is important in determining the character of the flow. We seek in particular studies that lend mechanistic insight into flow behavior in complex fluids or highlight flow phenomena unique to complex fluids. Examples include
  • Instabilities, unsteady and turbulent or chaotic flow characteristics in non-Newtonian fluids,
  • Multiphase flows involving complex fluids,
  • Problems involving transport phenomena such as heat and mass transfer and mixing, to the extent that the non-Newtonian flow behavior is central to the transport phenomena,
  • Novel flow situations that suggest the need for further theoretical study,
  • Practical situations of flow that are in need of systematic theoretical and experimental research. Such issues and developments commonly arise, for example, in the polymer processing, petroleum, pharmaceutical, biomedical and consumer product industries.

  This list is meant to be representative, not exhaustive.

• Mathematical analysis of equations relevant to non-Newtonian flows
• Numerical methods suited to problems in flowing complex fluids
• Development of rheological constitutive equations for non-Newtonian fluids from both continuum and microstructural starting points.
• Experimental assessment of predictions from rheological constitutive equations.
• Devices and methodologies for rheological measurements at both macro- and microscopic levels, including microrheology.

Overly abstract, formalistic or artificial developments will not be welcomed.
