The rapidly expanding field of novel magnetism is also featured in the journal. Coverage focuses on such topics as spintronics, magnetic semiconductors, properties of magnetic multilayers, magnetoresistive materials and structures, magnetic oxides, and more. Novel superconducting and magnetic materials are complex compounds, and the journal publishes articles related to all aspects of their study, such as sample preparation, spectroscopy and transport properties, as well as practical applications.

This journal is devoted to theoretical and experimental studies of the structure and properties of synthetic-diamond and cubic boron nitride single crystals and polycrystals; crystalline and powdered high-melting metals and compounds; high-density, high-tech ceramics; and cemented carbides. Articles in the journal are grouped under the following headings: Physical chemistry and synthesis technology Structure and properties Tools, powders and pastes Machining processes Industrial applications For scientists interested in fundamental investigations, the journal offers such articles as the physicochemical processes of formation and growth and study of mono- and polycrystals, dispersed materials and diamond and diamond-like films in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Also published are papers dealing with various methods of synthesis. Special attention is paid to finding applications for superhard materials, taking into account their strength, abrasive capacity, thermal conductivity, and electromag

The Journal of Surface Investigation spans the field of surface physics, from the preparation of samples, through physical and chemical properties of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures (including organic and biological materials), to data analysis and interpretation of results. The Journal focuses closely on novel experimental approaches to characterization of surfaces, interfaces and thin films by X-ray, synchrotron and neutron techniques, which are the most suited techniques for structural studies of nanosystems. The Journal publishes original experimental and theoretical articles and reviews on the most current problems of surface phenomena, surface structure, physical and chemical properties, treatment and investigations of surfaces, as well as thin films, interfaces, and more. The Journal also presents special issues and proceedings of Russian and international conferences.

The Journal of Systems Science and Complexity is dedicated to publishing high quality original and innovative papers on theories, methodologies, and applications of systems science and complexity science, as well as insightful survey papers. It encourages fundamental research into complex systems and complexity and fosters cross-disciplinary approaches to elucidate the common themes that arise in natural, artificial, and social systems. Among the topics covered are system optimization and management, complex and control systems, modeling and system biology, information and computer mathematics. The journal places particular emphasis on complex systems.

The Journal of Systems Science and Systems Engineering was founded by the Systems Engineering Society of China in 1992. Published quarterly, this international journal addresses the theory, methodology, and applications underlying systems science and systems engineering. The mission of the journal is to foster new thinking and research to help decision-makers understand the mechanisms and complexity of economic, engineering, management, social, and technological systems. Moreover, the journal helps readers discover new developments in theory and practice that can improve the performance of systems.

This Journal is the official publication of the Indian Academy of Wood Science. It publishes on all aspects related to wood, cellulose and their products such as logging, saw milling, wood working, plywood, fibre boards, particle boards, improved and composite woods, cellulose and cellulose-based sciences and industries and allied fields generally classified as 'Wood Science'. It also includes biological sciences related to wood and wood products. The Journal aims to cover research on all aspects of Wood Science and allied fields relating to resource utilization of wood. In essence it relates to all aspects of utilization including processing, sales and marketing of wood, its products and other lignocellulosic materials both from forestry and agricultural origin. Further, the Journal aims to help and promote rational and scientific utilization of raw materials, avoiding of wastage in raw materials, development of standard products and standard techniques, evolution of uniform standardized processing methods, quality control methods, inspection methods and similar other scientific methods, applicable to the industries connected with wood and cellulose.
