Contents list

About the journal

Materials Research Letters is an Open Access, international, peer reviewed journal, publishing high-quality, original research. Please see the journal’s Aims & Scope for information about its focus and peer-review policy.

Open Access (OA) means you can publish your research so it is free to access online as soon as it is published, meaning anyone can read (and cite) your work. Please see our guide to Open Access for more information. Many funders mandate publishing your research open access; you can check open access funder policies and mandates here.

Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.

This journal accepts the following article types: Original Reports, Brief Overviews, Perspectives.

Article publishing charge

The standard article publishing charge (APC) for this journal is: USD $500 / GBP £313 / EUR €417. Depending on your location, these charges may be subject to local taxes.

Find out more about article publishing charges and funding options.

Peer review

Taylor & Francis is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review. Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be single blind peer-reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. Find out more about what to expect during peer review and read our guidance on publishing ethics.

Preparing your paper

Word limits


  • A typical Original Report for this journal should be no more than 3500 words; this limit includes tables; references; figure captions; footnotes; endnotes.
  • An Original Report paper should meet at least one of the following criteria: 1) Significant breakthrough in fundamental materials science, 2) Unprecedented mechanical or physical properties, 3) Novel functionalities, 4). Novel and significant breakthroughs in materials processing and synthesis, 5) Significant breakthroughs in materials characterizations, 6) Novel materials structures and topologies. The author(s) should indicate in their cover letter which of the above significant criteria the paper meets.
  • The number of figures in an Original Report paper should not normally exceed 5.

Style guidelines

Please use single quotation marks, except where 'a quotation is "within" a quotation'. Please note that long quotations should be indented without quotation marks.

British English spelling and punctuation is preferred.

Formatting and templates

Papers may be submitted in any standard format, including Word and LaTeX. Figures should be saved separately from the text. To assist you in preparing your paper, we provide formatting templates.

A LaTeX template is available for this journal.

Checklist: what to include

  1. Author details. Please include all authors’ full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses on the title page. Where available, please also include ORCiDs and social media handles (Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn). One author will need to be identified as the corresponding author, with their email address normally displayed in the article PDF (depending on the journal) and the online article. Authors’ affiliations are the affiliations where the research was conducted. If any of the named co-authors moves affiliation during the peer-review process, the new affiliation can be given as a footnote. Please note that no changes to affiliation can be made after your paper is accepted. Read more on authorship.
  2. A non-structured abstract of no more than 100 words. Read tips on writing your abstract.
  3. Each Original Report submission should include an 'Impact Statement' of up to 30 words, which should succinctly state the innovation and significance of the paper.
  4. Graphical abstract (optional). This is an image to give readers a clear idea of the content of your article. It should be sized at 525 pixels (width) x 130 pixels (height). If your image is narrower than 525 pixels, please place it on a white background 525 pixels wide to ensure the dimensions are maintained. Save the graphical abstract as a .jpg, .png, or .gif. Please do not embed it in the manuscript file but save it as a separate file, labelled GaphicalAbstract1.
  5. You can opt to include a video abstract with your article. Find out how these can help your work reach a wider audience, and what to think about when filming.
  6. 3-5 keywords. Read making your article more discoverable, including information on choosing a title and search engine optimization.
  7. Funding details. Please supply all details required by your funding and grant-awarding bodies as follows:
    For single agency grants: This work was supported by the[Funding Agency] under Grant [number xxxx].
    For multiple agency grants: This work was supported by the [funding Agency 1]; under Grant [number xxxx]; [Funding Agency 2] under Grant [number xxxx]; and [Funding Agency 3] under Grant [number xxxx].
  8. Disclosure statement. This is to acknowledge any financial interest or benefit that has arisen from the direct applications of your research. Further guidance on what is a conflict of interest and how to disclose it.
  9. Supplemental online material. Supplemental material can be a video, dataset, fileset, sound file or anything which supports (and is pertinent to) your paper. We publish supplemental material online via Figshare. Find out more about supplemental material and how to submit it with your article.
  10. Figures. Figures should be high quality (1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for color, at the correct size). Figures should be saved as TIFF, PostScript or EPS files. More information on how to prepare artwork.
  11. Tables. Tables should present new information rather than duplicating what is in the text. Readers should be able to interpret the table without reference to the text. Please supply editable files.
  12. Equations. If you are submitting your manuscript as a Word document, please ensure that equations are editable. More information about mathematical symbols and equations.
  13. Units. Please use SI units (non-italicized).

Using third-party material in your paper
