New Manuscript Submission 

Prior to electronic submission, authors must consult the general author instructions for information on format, style, and types of manuscripts.

Manuscripts not prepared according to JMR specifications may be returned to the author and could experience significant delays in review and publication.

Before you proceed to the electronic submission screen, please be sure you have the following items

• Contact information for ALL authors (including unique e-mail addresses). You must enter all author names during the submission process or your manuscript will be unsubmitted by the editorial office.
• Manuscript (including abstract) and figures in electronic format. For review purposes, please save your text and figures in files of 3-4 MB or less. The JMR Manuscript Central site will convert your manuscript and figures to PDF and html for review.
• Names, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of four possible reviewers will help to speed up the review process.
• Keywords for the paper, selected from the MRS keyword list. This list is also used for areas of expertise in your JMR Manuscript Central user profile.
• Publication charge and copyright forms must be submitted for each paper upon submission. You may download the forms and send them to the JMR Editorial Office by
• fax (724 779 4396)
• or mail: 
  Journal of Materials Research
  Materials Research Society
  506 Keystone Drive
  Warrendale, PA 15086, USA
• For more detailed descriptions of the forms, please refer to the general author instructions.

You are now ready to proceed to the JMR Manuscript Central site.  Always check first for an existing account. Many authors have been entered into the system whether or not they have submitted a manuscript via this system.  The system will only allow one account per unique e-mail address. 

Do not create a new account!

To access your account, click "check for exising account" to obtain your userID and password. Log into the JMR Manuscript Central site and proceed to your Author Center. Your manuscript will be listed under "Manuscripts with Decisions" with an R1 extension for a first revision, R2 for second revision, etc. Click "Create Revision," which will move your manuscript to "Revised Manuscripts in Draft" in your Author Center. You must first view the decision letter and respond.  After you have saved your response, follow the system instructions for resubmission. If the title, abstract, or author order has changed, this information must be updated.

When uploading your revised file, you need only replace the files that have been modified.  If figure files have not been changed, you need not replace the current versions.  Upon acceptance or revision of your paper, you will need to provide electronic files (TIFF or EPS) for each figure that meet JMR size and resolution requirements if you have not already done so.  For detailed information please refer to the general author instructions.

Proceed To JMR Manuscript Central.
