Since November 2010, IUMRS has joined force with the Chinese Materials Research Society (C-MRS) in publication of the bimonthly journal of Progress in Natural Science: Materials International. The journal is hosted and produced by Elsevier B V.

Progress in Natural Science: Materials International is an open access journal but page charges for authors from non-Chinese universities and research institutes are waived. It aims to provide scientists and engineers throughout the world with a central platform for exchange and dissemination of basic theoretical studies and applied research of advanced materials. The emphasis is placed on original research, both analytical and experimental, which is of permanent interest to engineers and scientists, covering all aspects of new materials and technologies, such as, energy and environmental materials; advanced structural materials; advanced transportation materials, functional and electronic materials; nano-scale and amorphous materials; health and biological materials; materials modeling and simulation; materials characterization; and so on. The latest research achievements and innovative papers in basic theoretical studies and applied research of material science with potential high impact are carefully selected and promptly reported. The aim of this Journal is to serve the global materials science and technology community with the latest research findings.
