JMR Focus Issues
Although each issue of JMR covers a wide range of materials research topics, special focus issues entirely or partly devoted to a single topic are occasionally published. These focus issues allow the journal to provide a comprehensive look at the current research in a particular area of interest to JMR readers.
We invite you to send suggestions for future focus issue topics, or to find out more about advertising in a JMR Focus Issue.
Below is a list of both past and upcoming Focus Issues.
