《材料科學(xué)進(jìn)展》對(duì)材料科學(xué)的最新進(jìn)展及其在工程和其他應(yīng)用中的開發(fā)發(fā)表了權(quán)威和批判性的評(píng)論。材料科學(xué)進(jìn)展綜述的作者是材料科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的積極領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，在綜述領(lǐng)域具有很強(qiáng)的科學(xué)記錄。重點(diǎn)放在主題的基本方面，特別是涉及微觀結(jié)構(gòu)和納米結(jié)構(gòu)及其與特性（機(jī)械、化學(xué)、電、磁、光學(xué)或生物醫(yī)學(xué)）的關(guān)系，包括凝聚相的原子性和電子性。另一個(gè)值得關(guān)注的主題是固體、液體和其他凝聚相中發(fā)生的過程的熱力學(xué)、動(dòng)力學(xué)、機(jī)制和建模；有助于從微觀機(jī)制理解材料宏觀性質(zhì)的實(shí)驗(yàn)和模型；以及促進(jìn)對(duì)材料使用的理解的工作。工程、醫(yī)療和其他應(yīng)用中的材料。感興趣的材料是各種形式的金屬、陶瓷、聚合物、生物、醫(yī)療和復(fù)合材料。手稿的長(zhǎng)度一般比專攻研究論文的期刊長(zhǎng)。該雜志的重點(diǎn)是邀請(qǐng)?jiān)u論，但感興趣的作者可以提交一份建議供考慮。編輯們懇請(qǐng)所有未被邀請(qǐng)的手稿在提交提案之前。

Progress in Materials Science publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials and their exploitation in engineering and other applications. Authors of reviews in Progress in Materials Science are active leaders in materials science and have a strong scientific track record in the field of the review. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental aspects of the subject, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical or biomedical) including the atomistic and electronic nature of condensed phases. Also desirable subject matters are the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms and modelling of processes which occur within solids, liquids and other condensed phases; experiments and models which help in understanding the macroscopic properties of materials in terms of microscopic mechanisms; and work which advances the understanding of the use of materials in engineering, healthcare and other applications. Materials of interest are metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical and composite in all forms. Manuscripts are generally of greater length than those found in journals specialising in research papers.The focus of the journal is invited reviews, but interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. The Editors kindly request that all non-invited manuscripts are preceded by the submission of a proposal.
