Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation

www.immijournal.com

The Materials Science and Engineering field is at a critical point in its evolution, in large part due to the recent growth and huge potential for integrating computational simulations with critical experiments to revolutionize the way advanced materials and manufacturing processes are designed and implemented. Innovative publication vehicles will play a key role in achieving the goals set for the Materials Genome Initiative and other similar initiatives. TMS has developed a journal to meet this need: Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation (IMMI).

PUBLICATION VISION

This new publication will be more than a journal; it will be a versatile and accelerated approach to information exchange via an integrated and collaborative environment—just like the accelerated advanced materials and manufacturing development efforts that will be a major focus of the subject area. The publication will enable innovative and perhaps even experimental methods of presenting content to the community. These capabilities will extend beyond the traditional archival journal approach and the lengthy time frames associated with conventional publications.

KEY FEATURES

• Open Access, facilitating the transfer of free research articles to industry, government, and academic scientists and engineers worldwide.
• Authors retain copyright of their published work.
• Citable, web-based enhanced publishing options that allow authors to post video, data, models/codes, links to databases, and author and reader commentary.
• Fast review and rapid publication of accepted articles in electronic format.
• Annual print compilation of each volume year available for hard copy reference.

ABOUT THE EDITOR

TMS welcomes Charles (Chuck) Ward, Ph.D., as the first editor of IMMI. Dr. Ward currently serves as Lead for Integrated Computational Materials Science Engineering at the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, and as Adjunct Professor of Materials Engineering at the University of Dayton. Dr. Ward received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.
