Scope
Nanoscale is a high-impact international journal, publishing high-quality research across nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanoscale publishes a full mix of research articles on experimental and theoretical work, including reviews, communications, and full papers.
For publication in Nanoscale, papers must report high-quality reproducible new work that will be of significant general interest to the journal's wide international readership.
The journal publishes weekly issues, complementing and building on the nano content already published across the Royal Society of Chemistry Publishing journal portfolio.
Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to:
- Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials
- Quantum materials
- 2D materials
- Layered materials
- Layered quantum materials
- Characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies
- Properties of nanoscale materials
- Self-assembly and molecular organisation
- Complex hybrid nanostructures
- Nanocomposites, nanoparticles, nanocrystalline materials, and nanoclusters
- Nanotubes, molecular nanowires and nanocrystals
- Molecular nanoscience
- Nanocatalysis
- Theoretical modelling
- Single-molecules
- Plasmonics
- Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics
- Nanophotonics
- Nanochips, nanosensors, nanofluidics and nanofabrication
- Carbon-based nanoscale materials and devices
- Biomimetic materials
- Nanobiotechnology/bionanomaterials
- Nanomedicine
- Regulatory approaches and risk assessment
Readership
Highly interdisciplinary, Nanoscale appeals to scientists, researchers and professionals interested in nanoscience and nanotechnology, quantum materials and quantum technology, including the areas of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, energy/environment, information technology, detection science, healthcare and drug discovery, and electronics.
Information for authors
Want to publish in this journal? Our author guidelines explain how to prepare and submit your article and provide useful information on the review and publication process including transfers, revisions and any article processing charges (APCs) that may apply.
You can read our payments and funding information for further details about APCs, which may apply for publishing open access in this journal, as well available discounts and waivers.
You may be able to publish open access in this journal, with no APC to pay, if your institution has an open access agreement with us. You can use our journal finder tool to check for agreements between us and your institution.
