"Nano Technology"

To be publishable in this journal, papers must fit the scope of the journal, meet the highest scientific quality standards, contain significant and original new science, and should make substantial advances within a particular area of nanoscale science and technology. A paper on synthesis should contain a significant innovation either in methodology, materials or demonstrated application.
Towards ensuring high editorial standards, every article submission is preliminarily assessed by the editors of the journal before being sent to independent referees. Articles can be rejected without refereeing after this initial assessment by the editors. Authors appealing against the decision will have to demonstrate to the Editorial Board of the journal at nano@iop.org that their paper contains significant new science of high quality and interest.
