Thank you for your kind interest in Interdisciplinary Materials. Submissions must consist of content that has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except those as the brief abstracts in the proceedings of conferences or symposiums.
The submission system will prompt you to use an ORCID ID (a unique author identifier) to help distinguish your work from that of other researchers as well as develop your personal profile on a worldwide platform.
All submissions will be handled and processed using the ScholarOne online submission system.
A cover letter should be uploaded in the ‘Cover Letter Field’ of the ScholarOne system. The text can be entered directly into the field or uploaded as a file.
The cover letter must contain:
A statement confirming the paper has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
An acknowledgment that all authors have contributed significantly; and in keeping with the latest guidelines of the International Committee of the Journal Editors, each author’s contribution to the paper is to be described, i.e., what role each author participated in.
A statement confirming that all authors are in agreement with the content of the manuscript.
In addition, authors should clearly state the motivation behind and the novelty of their research in the cover letter. Authors should also clarify key results and the advances made compared with their previous work.
Once you have prepared your submission in accordance with the Guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/intermat.

2. Aims and Scope
Interdisciplinary Materials is an open-access, peer-reviewed, and rapid-publication journal focusing on the interdisciplinary researches between materials science and other disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, mechanics, biology, energy, environment, information, engineering, etc. The journal aims at reporting cutting-edge developments across science and technology around the world.
Interdisciplinary Materials is expected to take an interdisciplinary, frontier, and integrated approach to all areas of materials research while cultivating the exchange of ideas between scientists involved in the different disciplines. Readership will include physicists, chemists, mathematicians, mechanicians, biologists, and energy, environment, materials scientists, engineers from academia and industry as well as policymakers.
Interdisciplinary Materials invites you to submit high-quality, innovative full-length research articles, rapid communications, reviews, perspectives, comments, and other editorial content of general interest to the field of interdisciplinary materials.
All papers will be published online as soon as they are accepted and will be fully citable. In addition, there are no article publication charges for the first three publication years.
