RW Materials

RW Materials is a quarterly engineering journal aimed at bringing together cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum of materials science and engineering. Materials research is a diversified and flourishing area of research. RW materials covers all the fundamental and applied aspects of the synthesis or processing, structure or composition, properties and performance of materials, designed or manipulated to deal with the current technological challenges. RW Materials is an important resource for all scientists, in both academia and industry, who are active in the process of discovering and developing materials and materials-related concepts. RW Materials also encourages the exchange of ideas between chemists, physicists, material scientists, biomedical researchers, engineers and other researchers who are active at the frontiers of this diverse and multidisciplinary field.

Note to the authors: Plagiarism, or copying text or results from other sources, is unethical behavior and is not tolerated. All submitted manuscripts will be checked for originality using the CrossCheck database. For more information on CrossCheck please visit http://www.crossref.org/crosscheck.html.

Special Issues

The journal seeks to publish focussed, coherent thematic volumes that will be of lasting use to the community, well cited, and of the highest quality – the same quality as regular research papers in the journal.

All interested experts should prepare a proposal for the proposed topic within the scope of the journal. After receiving the Special Issue proposals, journal Editors-in-Chief and selected Associate Editors will evaluate its feasibility. A decision is expected within 2-3 weeks from submission.

Indexing and Archiving

Processing Time

Depending on the manuscript type and number of submissions, the average manuscript turnaround time (the average time from submission to initial decision) will be around 7 days and the submission to acceptance ranges from 4-6 weeks.

After acceptance, the citable just-accepted manuscript with doi will be online in 1 week and another 2-3 weeks to get the final corrected article online after getting the authors’ final proof
