JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE-MATERIALS IN MEDICINE

The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine (ISSN 0957-4530) is a peer-reviewed monthly publication issued by Springer in the United States, dedicated to advancing research at the intersection of materials science and biomedical engineering. As an indexed SCI journal, it consistently maintains an impact factor of approximately 3.0 and is generally classified within the third or fourth quartile of the Engineering and Technology category in the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranking. The journal operates under a hybrid publishing model, offering both subscription and open access options, and serves a global audience of researchers, clinicians, and engineers interested in the development and application of biomaterials. Its scope encompasses a wide range of topics, including the synthesis and characterization of novel materials, tissue engineering strategies, medical device design, biocompatibility assessments, and the clinical translation of material-based therapies. While the journal is recognized for its steady contribution to the field, it is noted for a relatively lengthy peer-review process and a competitive submission environment, making it a suitable venue for studies that effectively bridge fundamental material science with practical medical applications.
