Accounts of Materials Research

Accounts of Materials Research is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal co-published by the American Chemical Society and ShanghaiTech University since 2020, publishing concise personal Accounts of recent developments across materials science and engineering, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 14.1（Accounts of Materials Research）是由（American Chemical Society）与（ShanghaiTech University）自 2020 年起共同出版的月刊同行评审期刊，刊载材料科学与工程各领域最新进展的简明个人述评，2025 年影响因子为 14.1。

Scope

• It publishes concise personal reviews and perspectives describing recent research developments in all aspects of materials science and engineering刊载简明扼要的个人述评与观点文章，报道材料科学与工程各领域的最新研究进展。^[1]
• An Account draws on results previously published by the authors to teach readers new insights and thinking in an area of materials research每篇述评以作者本人此前发表的研究成果为基础，向读者传授某一材料研究领域的新见解与新思路。
• Each Account is directed at specialists in the field and also at a broad range of scientists who wish to keep abreast of the best current research in other fields每篇述评既面向本领域专家，也面向希望了解其他领域最前沿研究的广大科学家。
• Readability by the non-expert is therefore essential, so authors are expected to explain background and significance clearly因此非专业读者的可读性至关重要，作者须清晰阐明研究背景与意义。
• Most manuscripts are submitted after invitation by the Editor-in-Chief, although unsolicited proposals are also considered多数稿件由主编邀请投稿，但未经邀约的选题建议亦可提交。
• It welcomes work from chemistry, physics, biology and engineering as long as it advances the understanding and application of materials只要有助于增进对材料的理解与应用，来自化学、物理、生物学与工程等学科的工作均在欢迎之列。^[2][3]
• Purely incremental reports that lack a personal perspective or a broader message are not in scope缺乏个人视角或更广泛启示的纯增量性报道不在收稿范围之内。
