Call for Papers: Emerging Investigators in Materials Science

ACS Materials Letters is seeking submissions to an upcoming Virtual Special Issue, “Emerging Investigators in Materials Science,” which aims to showcase the work of early career researchers from all over the globe and across all areas of materials science. We invite submissions in all areas of materials science, which spans the entire scope of the journal, from early career faculty (or equivalent) working in academia, industry, at National Laboratories, or at research institutions who are 12 years or fewer since receiving a Ph.D. degree.

Submissions must comply with our Author Guidelines and will be subject to the usual rigorous peer review to ensure they fit the scope and conform to the high-quality, significance and urgency standards of ACS Materials Letters before acceptance.
