Transactions of Materials Research (TMR) is one of the two official journals of Chinese Materials Research Society launched in 2025. This is a broad-scope open-access journal published monthly. It provides an international comprehensive platform to disseminate theoretical and experimental investigations on both the development of new materials and the innovation of traditional materials.

This journal publishes high-quality full-length Original Research Articles covering four categories of studies: (1) materials frontier and interdisciplinary sciences, (2) metallic materials science and technology, (3) inorganic materials science and technology, and (4) polymer materials science and technology. Emphases are stressed on but not limited to structural materials, functional materials, energy materials, electronic materials, optical materials, magnetic materials, smart and biomaterials, nanometer and low-dimensional materials.

TMR follows the common tradition of materials research to concentrate on the scientific interrelations of “material design — processing control — microstructure modulation — performance optimization”. Consequently, it will not consider those submissions such as pure theoretical analyses or numerical computations without experimental validations, pure physical or chemical explorations of various substances, design and manufacture of structures and devices without academic significance, as well as metallurgical procedure or materials production.
