Results in Materials is part of the Materials Today family of journals. It is an open-access journal that serves as a platform for the community of materials scientists and engineers to share their findings and visions in materials. This journal aims to promote the visibility of exploratory studies, preliminary/incremental results, and negative results with scientifically sound explanation. Results in Materials has a broad scope spanning all materials science and engineering subfields, welcoming articles in the following areas:Theoretical Materials ScienceExperimental Materials ScienceComputational Materials ScienceEnvironmental Materials ScienceEducation in Materials Science We welcome all studies that do not necessarily generate breakthrough results but serve as stepping-stones to advance knowledge in materials science. We also encourage submissions of undergraduate research work. Manuscripts of experimental, theoretical and computational nature are all welcome for submission.Results in Materials also considers manuscripts that discuss the integration of research and education for training the next-generation workforce in materials science and related fields.All submissions are subject to a robust peer review process.Results in Materials accepts submissions of two types of papers:Full-length research papersMicroarticles: very short papers (no longer than three pages), which may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:Data and/or a plot plus a descriptionDescription of a new method or instrumentationConcept or design studyVision for future directions
