Volume 1 opened in 2018 and volume 10 is the 2026 volume, with four issues closing each year and a Chinese publication number alongside the two international ones.第 1 卷 2018 年开出，第 10 卷对应 2026 年，每年出四期，除两个国际刊号外还带一个国内统一刊号。
Scope
Twelve areas are named on the journal page, and micro and nano devices, sensors and actuators head the list.期刊页上列出十二个方向，打头的是微纳器件、传感器与执行器。
Micro and nanoscale manufacturing comes second, which brings lithography, etching and the process window of a small feature into the same frame as the device itself.微纳尺度制造排第二，光刻、刻蚀与小尺度特征的工艺窗口因此与器件本身放在同一个框里看。
MEMS and NEMS form a heading of their own, and the recent record carries a four-shank microelectrode array with field-programmable gate array processing for neural recording.微机电与纳机电系统单列一项，近期就有一套配合现场可编程门阵列处理神经信号的四柄微电极阵列。
Micro and nano fluidics is a fourth area, and one paper describes a resonator-enhanced rotary valve that automates nucleic acid testing at the point of care.微纳流体是第四个方向，有论文写了一种用谐振器增强的旋转阀，把床旁核酸检测做成全自动。
Micro and nano optics appear with metalens design, including the inverse design of near-infrared achromatic metalenses using an adaptive genetic algorithm.微纳光学以超透镜设计出现，包括用自适应遗传算法反向设计近红外消色差超透镜。
Biomedical applications of micro and nanotechnologies have their own heading, so a device built for a biological question is judged on both the biology and the fabrication.微纳技术的生物医学应用单列，为生物学问题做的器件在生物与制造两方面都要过关。
Characterisation and metrology are treated as a subject rather than as a service, and an atomic force microscopy study of DNA images builds a segmentation method around height mapping.表征与计量被当作题目而不是服务，一篇原子力显微镜的脱氧核糖核酸图像研究就以高度映射为基础搭了分割方法。
Flexible electronics are inside the brief, and materials work on stretchable conductors appears under that heading rather than under general materials science.柔性电子在范围内，可拉伸导体的材料工作归在这一项下，而不是笼统的材料科学。
Advanced functional materials and their applications are named separately, which leaves room for a paper whose contribution is the material rather than the device.先进功能材料及其应用单列，贡献在材料而不在器件上的论文因此有位置。
Precision instruments and precision engineering close the list, and the two headings are what tie the nanoscale work back to a machine that can be built and calibrated.精密仪器与精密工程收尾，这两项把纳米尺度的工作拉回到一台能造出来、能标定的机器上。
A final heading covers industrial, frontier and future trends, so a paper on a manufacturing route can sit beside one on an emerging measurement principle.最后一项覆盖产业、前沿与未来趋势，讲制造路线的论文因此能与讲新测量原理的论文相邻。
Recent topics show laser processing at the core, with femtosecond laser slicing of silicon carbide and direct laser interference patterning monitored through plasma emission.近期题目显示激光加工处在核心，碳化硅的飞秒激光切片与用等离子体发射信号监测的直接激光干涉图案化都在其中。
Packaging and reliability are covered too, and one 2026 paper studies delamination of heterogeneous interfaces in the redistribution layers of fan-out wafer-level packaging.封装与可靠性同样覆盖，2026 年有一篇研究扇出型晶圆级封装重布线层里异质界面的分层。
Photonic and quantum devices appear through work on silicon vacancies in proton-implanted silicon carbide enhanced by femtosecond laser annealing.光子与量子器件通过质子注入碳化硅中硅空位的论文出现，那篇用飞秒激光退火提升空位的光学与自旋性质。
Papers come in as original research articles, reviews, communications and discussions, and the journal states that no publication charge falls on the author.稿件分为原创研究论文、综述、通讯与讨论，刊物声明发表费用不由作者承担。
History
The first volume is dated 2018, and the earliest item in the registration agency index is a paper on strain sensing published in June of that year.第 1 卷署 2018 年，注册机构索引里最早的一条是当年六月发表的一篇应变传感论文。
Volume 1, number 2 carried an item titled with the journal name followed by Editors and Editorial Board, which means the board was constituted and printed at the launch.第 1 卷第 2 期有一条题名是刊名加上编辑与编委会的条目，说明编委会在创刊时就已组成并印在刊内。
Identifiers from 2018 to 2020 sit in the 10.1016 block, the range Elsevier assigns, so the title was distributed through the KeAi arrangement in its first three years.2018 至 2020 年的标识符落在 10.1016 段，那是爱思唯尔分配的号段，刊物头三年走的是科爱的发行安排。
From 2021 every record carries a 10.1063 identifier, which is the block AIP Publishing uses, and the change is the cleanest evidence of the handover.从 2021 年起每条记录都带 10.1063 开头的标识符，那是 AIP Publishing 用的号段，这次交接在这里看得最清楚。
The National Library of Medicine still records the imprint as Publishing Services by Elsevier on behalf of KeAi, a line written at the launch and not yet revised.国家医学图书馆的出版者印记仍写着由爱思唯尔代表科爱提供出版服务，这行字是创刊时写的，至今没有改。
Four issues make a volume, and the counts per volume run from 13 in the first volume to 56 in volume 8, the largest year so far.四期成一卷，每卷篇数从首卷的 13 篇到第 8 卷的 56 篇，后者是至今最多的一年。
Volume 2 carried 27 papers, volumes 4 and 5 carried 25 and 23, and the growth came later, with 37 in volume 7 and 45 in volume 9.第 2 卷 27 篇，第 4、5 卷分别 25 篇与 23 篇，增长出现在后面，第 7 卷 37 篇，第 9 卷 45 篇。
Volume 10 had 14 papers in three issues when the record was read, and the fourth issue of that volume was still to come.读到记录时第 10 卷三期共 14 篇，第四期还没有出。
The Journal Impact Factor was 3.5 for 2023, 2.7 for 2024 and 2.4 for 2025, and the five-year figure of 3.5 is well above the current year value.影响因子 2023 年是 3.5，2024 年 2.7，2025 年 2.4，五年影响因子 3.5，明显高于当年值。
Three categories carry the title in the emerging sources edition, materials science multidisciplinary at 326 of 472, nanoscience at 113 of 148 and applied physics at 123 of 191.新兴来源版里有三个类目收它，材料科学综合类 472 种中排 326，纳米科学 148 种中排 113，应用物理 191 种中排 123。
The 2025 release records 720 citations, with 53 articles giving 56 citable items, a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.37 and a cited half-life of 4.4 years.2025 年版记下总被引 720 次，53 篇文章给出 56 篇可引条目，期刊引文指标 0.37，被引半衰期 4.4 年。
Every article is gold open access and no article processing charge is levied, so the whole output is free to read from the day it appears.文章全部金色开放获取且不收处理费，产出从上线那天起就能免费读。
Scopus records a CiteScore of 4.1 for 2025, a figure that sits well above the impact factor of the same year.Scopus 记 2025 年 CiteScore 为 4.1，比同年的影响因子高出一截。
PubMed lists the journal for selected citations only, so the medical index holds a sample of the papers rather than the whole file.PubMed 对该刊只做选摘，医学索引里存的是论文的一个样本，不是全部。
The publisher is named as AIP Publishing on the platform page, while Tianjin University and its academic journal publishing centre appear as the owning institution and the operator.平台页把出版方写成 AIP Publishing，主办与承办则分别是天津大学及其学术期刊出版中心。
Editors
Xuexin Duan of Tianjin University is Editor-in-Chief, and his own field of precision measurement is what the journal's title puts first in its second half.天津大学的 Xuexin Duan 任主编，他本人的精密测量方向正是刊名后半段摆在前面的事情。
The editorial office is run by the academic journal publishing centre of Tianjin University, which handles the title as part of a university portfolio rather than as a stand-alone venture.编辑部由天津大学的学术期刊出版中心运作，刊物作为学校期刊群的一部分来管，而不是单独一项买卖。
The Chinese Society of Micro-Nano Technology is named as a partner, and its membership is the readership the applied papers are written for.中国微纳技术学会列为合作方，其会员就是那些应用类论文的读者。
Double anonymous review is the stated model, so neither the author nor the referee learns the other's identity during assessment.明示的评审模式是双向匿名，作者与评审人在评审期间都不知对方是谁。
The board is constituted at the launch and printed in the second issue of volume 1, an unusual step that puts the names on the record from the start.编委会在创刊时组成并印在第 1 卷第 2 期，这一步不常见，名字从一开始就落在记录里。
Editorial pages on the platform run through the board, the office, publishing ethics, copyright and permissions and the abstracting services in one place.平台上的编辑栏目把编委会、编辑部、出版伦理、版权与许可、收录情况集中在一处。
Production and hosting moved with the identifier block, and AIP Publishing now handles the platform end while the university keeps the editorial end.制作与托管随号段一起搬了家，AIP Publishing 现在管平台一侧，学校保留编辑一侧。
Decisions are taken with the engineering relevance of a result in view, which is why a paper on a fabrication route is judged as strictly as one on a new physical effect.做决定时把结果的工程相关性放在眼里，讲制造路线的论文因此与讲新物理效应的论文一样受严格审视。
The absence of a publication charge changes the editorial arithmetic, since an accepted paper is not a revenue event and the board can afford to be selective.不收发表费改变了编辑上的算盘，录一篇论文不带来收入，编委会因此可以放开手脚挑。
Reviewers are asked to judge fabrication claims against measured structures, and the journal's metrology heading gives such checks a place in the scope rather than leaving them as an aside.评审人被要求拿实测结构去核对制造上的说法，刊物的计量栏目给这类核查留了位置，而不是当成附带的事。
The society, the university and the publisher each contribute a name to the masthead, and the three-way arrangement is what keeps a Chinese journal in an international identifier system.学会、学校与出版社各自在版权页上出一个名字，三方安排让一本中国刊物留在国际标识体系里。
