Dear Colleagues,
On behalf
of the Guest Editors, Professor Helmut Rosemeyer and Professor Andreas
Taubert, we would like to invite you to contribute
a paper for publication in the Special Issue “Functional Materials -
From Functional Hybrid Materials to Functional Polymers”
of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, IJMS (http://www.mdpi.org/ijms/, ISSN
1422-0067, CODEN:
IJMCFK). Papers (both
comprehensive review articles and full research papers) are invited.
The homepage for this special issue is
http://www.mdpi.org/ijms/specialissues/fhm.htm.
Submitted
papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under
consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed
through a peer
review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant
information
for submitting papers are available on the “Instructions
for Authors” page.
This thematic special issue will be
fully Open Access
with publishing fees paid by authors. Open Access (unlimited access by
readers)
increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations as indicated
by
several studies. More information is available at http://www.mdpi.org/oaj-supports.htm. You may
send your manuscript from today on until the 1 June 2008.
Accepted
papers will be published immediately. On 1 July 2008, all the papers belonging to
this special issue will be collected together on a homepage.
IJMS maintains a rigorous and fast peer-review system. Because it is an
online
journal, papers published in IJMS receive very high publicity. This
journal is
indexed and abstracted very rapidly by the leading indexing and
abstracting
services including Beilstein, Chemical Abstracts and Science
Citation
Index Expanded (Web of Science).
Please send your paper by e-mail to [email protected]. The subject title of
the
message should be Manuscript for Special Issue “Functional Materials - From Functional Hybrid
Materials to Functional Polymers”
for IJMS.
