Scope
Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields.
Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article.
Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry B are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive.
- Antifouling coatings
- Biocompatible materials
- Bioelectronics
- Bioimaging
- Biomimetics
- Biomineralisation
- Bionics
- Biosensors
- Diagnostics
- Drug delivery
- Gene delivery
- Immunobiology
- Nanomedicine
- Regenerative medicine & Tissue engineering
- Scaffolds
- Soft robotics
- Stem cells
- Therapeutic devices
All articles published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B from 2019 onwards will be indexed in MEDLINE®.
Articles that primarily focus on providing insight into the underlying science and performance of biomaterials within a biological environment are more suited to our sister journal, Biomaterials Science.

Find out moreSubmission and assessment process
On submission to the journal, all manuscripts are initially assessed by either a professional Publishing Editor or academic Associate Editor. They make an assessment of whether the manuscript may be suitable for the journal, based on the scope and very high significance and broad general interest criteria required for publication. Only manuscripts that successfully pass these initial assessments will be sent for full peer review, which may be with an Associate Editor. Full details of the initial assessment process can be found with our processes and policies.
The journal follows a single-blind peer review process and articles are typically sent to at least two independent reviewers for evaluation. Professional Publishing Editors and academic Associate Editors are equally responsible for peer review and associated editorial decisions. The team are guided by our Editorial Board who set the scientific standards and guidelines for the journal. Our Editorial Board are all leading scientists who together have expertise across the breadth of materials science.
