Journal Title：Nature Materials

Nature Materials is a monthly multi-disciplinary journal aimed at bringing together cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum of materials science and engineering. Materials research is a diverse and fast-growing discipline, which has moved from a largely applied, engineering focus to a position where it has an increasing impact on other classical disciplines such as physics, chemistry and biology. Nature Materials covers all applied and fundamental aspects of the synthesis/processing, structure/composition, properties and performance of materials, where "materials" are identified as substances in the condensed states (liquid, solid, colloidal) designed or manipulated for technological ends.

Nature Materials provides a forum for the development of a common identity among materials scientists while encouraging researchers to cross established subdisciplinary divides. To achieve this, and strengthen the cohesion of the community, the journal takes an interdisciplinary, integrated and balanced approach to all areas of materials research while fostering the exchange of ideas between scientists involved in the different disciplines. Nature Materials is an invaluable resource for all scientists, in both academia and industry, who are active in the process of discovering and developing materials and materials-related concepts.

Nature Materials offers an engaging, informative and accessible product including papers of exceptional significance and quality in a discipline which promises to have great influence on the development of society in years to come.

《自然材料》是一份月刊，旨在匯集整個(gè)材料科學(xué)和工程領(lǐng)域的前沿研究。材料研究是一門多元化且快速發(fā)展的學(xué)科，它已經(jīng)從主要關(guān)注應(yīng)用工程轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)閷?duì)物理、化學(xué)和生物等其他傳統(tǒng)學(xué)科產(chǎn)生越來越大影響的領(lǐng)域?！蹲匀徊牧稀泛w了材料合成/加工、結(jié)構(gòu)/成分、性質(zhì)和性能的所有應(yīng)用和基本方面，其中“材料”是指為技術(shù)目的而設(shè)計(jì)或操縱的凝聚態(tài)（液體、固體、膠體）物質(zhì)。

《自然材料》為材料科學(xué)家提供了一個(gè)發(fā)展共同身份的論壇，同時(shí)鼓勵(lì)研究人員跨越既定的子學(xué)科界限。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)并加強(qiáng)社區(qū)的凝聚力，該期刊對(duì)所有材料研究領(lǐng)域采取了跨學(xué)科、綜合和平衡的方法，同時(shí)促進(jìn)了不同學(xué)科科學(xué)家之間的思想交流。 《自然材料》是學(xué)術(shù)界和工業(yè)界所有積極參與發(fā)現(xiàn)和開發(fā)材料及材料相關(guān)概念的科學(xué)家的寶貴資源。

《自然材料》提供了引人入勝、信息豐富且易于理解的產(chǎn)品，其中包括具有特殊意義和質(zhì)量的論文，這些論文所在的學(xué)科有望在未來幾年對(duì)社會(huì)發(fā)展產(chǎn)生重大影響。

Nature Materials創(chuàng)刊于2002年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋材料科學(xué)：綜合 - 工程技術(shù)全領(lǐng)域，在行業(yè)領(lǐng)域中學(xué)術(shù)影響力很大，屬于TOP期刊，國(guó)際一流期刊，關(guān)注度和專業(yè)度非常高，所以對(duì)原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性很高，過審難度很高，如果您有志于TOP期刊，建議關(guān)注此刊。平均審稿速度 約5.4個(gè)月 ，影響因子指數(shù)37.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
