The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has announced the launch of a new journal – Materials Horizons. The latest addition to the RSC Publishing portfolio will disseminate research across the extensive breadth of materials research, spanning multiple scientific disciplines.
Materials Horizons will publish first reports of exceptional significance at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The RSC will provide free access to the new peer-reviewed journal until the end of 2015, ensuring authors' work has maximum visibility.
Materials Horizons will open for submissions in April 2013 and the first issue will be published in late 2013. Authors submitting to Materials Horizons will benefit from easy online submission, rapid peer review and publication with no page charges, and free colour. Authors have the option of publishing their research as an Accepted Manuscript and, as with all RSC journals, authors may choose to publish their paper as an Open Access article.
From launch until December 2015, all content will be freely available online for readers via the RSC website.
