MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING R-REPORTS

Continuation of Materials Science ReportsTopical invited reviews in materials science and engineering, each including: ? surveys of work accomplished to date ? current trends in research and applications ? future prospectsMaterials Science & Engineering R: Reports publishes invited review papers covering the full spectrum of materials science and engineering. The reviews, both experimental and theoretical, provide general background information as well as a critical assessment on topics in a state of flux. The editorial policy of Materials Science & Engineering R: Reports is to serve its readership in two ways. Firstly, it provides a critical overview of the current issues in a well-defined area of immediate interest to materials scientists. Secondly, each review contains an extensive list of references thus providing an invaluable pointer to the primary research literature available on the topic. This policy is implemented by the Editorial Board which consists of outstanding scientists in their respective disciplines. The Board identifies the topics of interest and subsequently invites qualified authors. In order to ensure speedy publication, each review is published separately.

继续材料科学报告专题邀请材料科学和工程的评论，每一个包括:?迄今完成的工作调查?研究和应用的当前趋势?未来展望材料科学与工程研究:报告发表邀请评审论文，涵盖材料科学与工程的所有领域。这些综述，无论是实验的还是理论的，都提供了一般的背景信息，以及对处于变化状态的主题的批判性评估。《材料科学与工程R:报告》的编辑方针是以两种方式服务读者。首先，它提供了对材料科学家直接感兴趣的明确定义的领域中当前问题的批判性概述。其次，每一篇综述都包含一个广泛的参考文献列表，从而为有关该主题的主要研究文献提供了一个宝贵的指针。这一政策由编辑委员会执行，该委员会由各自学科的杰出科学家组成。委员会确定感兴趣的题目，然后邀请合格的作者。为了确保迅速出版，每一篇评论都单独出版。
