Journal overview
- Aims and scope
International Materials Reviews publishes peer-reviewed critical assessments of the literature on all aspects of materials science and engineering. Its aim is to provide timely, authoritative introductions to current thinking, developments and research in carefully selected topics. Leading edge reviews provide a concise overview of rapidly developing areas of the discipline, while maintaining the journal's high standard of rigour and critical assessment. Most reviews are invited by the Editors but proposals for reviews are welcomed.
Subscribers now have access to the entire retrodigitised back-archive of IMR, extending to the initial publication in 1956.
Peer Review Policy
All submissions are by invitation only. Proposals for reviews can be emailed to the editors for the consideration. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If found suitable for further consideration, papers are subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expect referees. All peer-review is single anonymized.
Publishing Ethics
The journal adheres to the highest standards of publishing ethics, with rigorous processes in place to ensure this is achieved. Taylor & Francis is a member of Committee of Publications Ethics (COPE) and utilises CrossCheck for all Journals.
