Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation (IMMI) is committed to building a seamless and dynamic model-based framework supporting the accelerated discovery, development, and application of materials and manufacturing processes. The journal explores innovations from the discovery of materials through their manufacture that support the practice of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME). IMMI focuses on presenting new experimental and computational tools, data analysis and management methods, and valuable multiscale datasets, as well as the application and the impact using of an ICME approach to advance materials and manufacturing technologies. IMMI provides a platform for the presentation of novel research and engineering efforts seeking to solve pervasive or recurring needs in materials and manufacturing that adhere to the discipline of ICME. IMMI supports research seeking to build model-based definitions of materials and manufacturing processes that incorporate the processing-structure-properties-performance paradigm. The journal provides a venue for presenting innovative approaches to overcoming key technical challenges in integrating experiment, computation, and data that support creation of a materials innovation infrastructure for ICME. These challenges include description and representation of complex material structure, application of artificial intelligence approaches, data management, model verification and validation, as well as seamlessly linking simulations and data. Tools and methods that integrate and manage information and knowledge across length and time scales as well as discipline boundaries are extraordinarily complex and at the forefront of scientific and engineering progress. The journal will publish: Research results that support building model-based definitions of materials and manufacturing processes that are compatible with model-based engineering design processes and multidisciplinary design optimization Descriptions of novel experimental or computational tools or data analysis techniques, and their application, that are intended for use in ICME applications Reports on efforts to develop and apply artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques that advance the development and deployment of materials and manufacturing processes within an ICME paradigm. Best practices in verification and validation of computational tools, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, and data management, as well a

Sources count differently and were observed at different times, so each source's own value is kept; "publisher" marks figures from the journal's website.

Community reports come from authors' own submissions (confidence 0.5) and are not a promise from the journal; for publisher figures, the journal's own definitions apply.

A hybrid journal charges the APC only when the author chooses open access; publishing under the subscription model is usually free.

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.

Excerpts are quoted from the journal's website; "model summary" lines are written by Workers AI and checked against the text. The journal's website is authoritative.
