Journal of Nanoparticle Research |
| An Interdisciplinary Forum for Nanoscale Science and Technology |
|
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged. The content of the Journal is at the intersection of various scientific and technological areas, including particle technology, colloids, aerosols, multiphase systems, solid state physics, chemistry and macromolecular science, materials engineering, pharmacy, microcontamination, emission control, environment and health effects, biotechnology and biomedicine, sensors and electronics.
Journal of Nanoparticle Research publishes:
- Original full scientific papers (about 3/4 of its contents)
- Letters to the editor for timely dissemination of scientific breakthroughs (in the section on `Brief Communications'). An accelerated review process will insure a short publication cycle for brief communications.
- Short technical statements on novel technologies and applications (in the section on `Technology and Applications').
A regular editorial/commentary page called `Perspectives' with the author's picture will be included in each issue. The Editor-in-Chief will coordinate this activity. The Journal will invite leaders in the field for review papers.

Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Nanoparticle Research publishes primarily full original research papers on all aspects of nanoparticle research, both fundamental and applied. The journal also publishes short letters and communications for timely dissemination of scientific breakthroughs (section "Communications"), brief technical statements on novel technologies and applications (section "Technology and Applications"), as well as critical reviews on the existing state of knowledge on a particular facet of nanoparticle research.
Submission of Manuscripts
Online Manuscript Submission
Kluwer Academic Publishers now offers authors, editors and reviewers of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research the option of using our fully web-enabled online manuscript submission and review system. To keep the review time as short as possible (no postal delays!), we encourage authors to submit manuscripts online to the journal's editorial office. Our online manuscript submission and review system offers authors the option to track the progress of the review process of manuscripts in real time. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://nano.edmgr.com
The online manuscript submission and review system for the Journal of Nanoparticle Research offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. This system supports a wide range of submission file formats: for manuscripts - Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTex; for figures - TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript.
NOTE: By using the online manuscript submission and review system, it is NOT necessary to submit the manuscript also in printout + disk. In case you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript on line, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on "CONTACT US" from the tool bar.
Fifty offprint copies of each article will be provided free of charge. Additional copies may be obtained at the rate indicated on the form accompanying the first proof.
No page charges are levied on authors or their institution.
