There will be several possibilities for publishing papers:

Publication in Materials Characterization

Selected papers can be published in the international journal Materials Characterization (MATCAR), where a Special Issue will be created for regular papers. The Editors of the Special Issue will examine first the suitability of the proposed papers for publication in the Special Issue. Then all selected papers will go through the journal's regular peer review process. Only papers that meet the requirements of MATCAR will be proposed into the Special Issue.
