Non-profit scientific publisher IOP Publishing (IOP) has announced the launch of Flexible and Printed Electronics (FPE), an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to publishing cutting edge research across all aspects of printed, plastic, flexible, stretchable, and conformable electronics. Flexible and Printed Electronics is the first journal to bring together both fundamental science and novel technological applications in this field.
Flexible and Printed Electronics will be published under a hybrid subscription model and will offer a gold open access option which means authors can choose to pay an article publication charge (APC) and make accepted papers available at no cost to readers under a CC BY 3.0 licence.
As part of the launch plan, all content in Flexible and Printed Electronics will be free to read for individual users, universities and academic research institutes throughout 2015 and 2016.
The journal team are now actively commissioning content for Flexible and Printed Electronics, and submissions are being invited from across the flexible and printed electronics community. The journal will be open for general submissions shortly.
