Elsevier is delighted to announce that the first issue of Materials Today: Proceedings is now available. The first issue of this new title, dedicated to the publication of content from leading conferences, covers the 1st International Joint Mini-Symposium on Advanced Coatings between Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and Changwon National University.

The publication of Materials Today: Proceedings comes just one month after the publication of the first articles from Materials Today Communications – another new title dedicated to the rapid publication of scientifically and ethically sound original research.

We hope you will join us in welcoming these new additions to the Materials Today family, which not only provide streamlined, modern services for researchers, be they Authors, Referees or Readers, but also represent a further step in Materials Today’s mission to aid the sharing of materials science knowledge and experience.

Materials Today: Proceedings offers open access and traditional subscription based publishing options and is now accepting conference proposals. To propose a conference or symposium you are organizing, visit www.materialstoday.com/proceedings.
