The Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies is an open access journal covering the science and technology of ceramics, glasses, composites, and related materials. The Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies is published on behalf of The Korean Ceramic Society and The Ceramic Society of Japan and endorsed by the Asia-Oceanic Ceramic Federation. The Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies publishes analytical, experimental and numerical manuscripts of interest to research workers and engineers in materials science. The journal fosters the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world encompassing all aspects of traditional and advanced ceramics. Topics published in the journal include: Experimental and theoretical aspects of ceramics, glasses, composites, and related materials Basic science, processing, microstructure, characteristics, and functionality of ceramic materials Material-related Physics, Chemistry and Engineering research Papers which are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published. The journal publishes high quality original research papers, correspondences for rapid publication, and in-depth review articles. When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, the journal’s editors consider special review articles.
