NPJ COMPUT MATER

ISSN / eISSN
2057-3960 / 2057-3960
Aims and Scope
npj Computational Materials publishes high-quality research papers that apply computational approaches for the design of new materials, and for enhancing our understanding of existing ones. New computational techniques – and the refinement of current approaches – that facilitate these aims are also welcome, as are experimental papers that complement computational findings.

Representative journal scope includes:

application and development of existing and emerging theoretical and simulation approaches for the study of materials in their entirety (organic and inorganic).
structure and property prediction of new materials, such as by the ‘materials by design’ paradigm.
significant new understanding of materials fundamentals, behavior and properties.
integrative/complementary experimental works that serve to validate, support and extend computational findings.
high-throughput techniques – both computational and experimental – for large data set generation, and materials data mining.

Verified Reviews

This journal is extremely excessive. It took one month to submit the manuscript to the editor, and then it was delayed for another month. Several of my professors thought it had been sent for review, but in fact, the editor hadn't dealt with it all along. After reading it, they just rejected it. The efficiency of handling manuscripts is really low. As a domestic journal, I think the efficiency can be improved. What if the author is in a hurry to publish an article? Is it meaningful to delay it for a month at the editor's end? Why was it downgraded to Zone 2?

In the hands of the editor for one month
Reviewed for one month
Minor revisions: replied for one month
In total, it took three and a half months. The journal has a good quality (considered as a Nature sub-journal, with high requirements and a significant amount of calculations, also requiring innovation. If not in a hurry, you can give it a try).
