Advanced Electronic Materials is an interdisciplinary forum for peer-reviewed, high-quality, high-impact research in the fields of materials science, physics, and engineering of electronic and magnetic materials. It includes research on physics and physical properties of electronic and magnetic materials, spintronics, electronics, device physics and engineering, micro- and nano-electromechanical systems, and organic electronics, in addition to fundamental research.
"Earlier this year, we announced that we would be launching a new open access journal, Heliyon, publishing sound science across all disciplines. We’re excited to tell you about the next phase of this journey, as we launch the journal platform and open for submissions."
Jordi Faraudo from ICMAB is involved in this new journal as a member of the Editorial Board.
L’interès general per a promoure la paritat de gènere a la ciència i la tecnologia a la Comunitat Europea comença als anys 80 i culmina l’any 1999 amb la formació del grup de Hèlsinki amb l’objectiu d’examinar la situació de les dones a la ciència a 30 països.

Frontiers was launched as a grassroots initiative in 2007 by scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, out of the collective desire to improve the publishing options and provide better tools and services to researchers in the Internet age.
Dr. Jorge Íñiguez from the ICMAB-CSIC has been appointed to be a Founding Member of the Editorial Board of Physical Review Applied, the newest Journal of the American Physical Society.
David has been on the Editorial Board for over 3 years and will now be handling submissions in the areas of supramolecular chemistry, macrocyclic chemistry, self-assembly, chirality and stereochemistry.
Professor Jordi Rius has been elected member of the Board of Directors of the ICDD (International Center of Diffraction Data). The ICDD is an institution related to the history of the identification of materials (inorganic, minerals and organic) from the results of the powder diffraction.
We are proud that a Professor of the ICMAB has obtained this international recognition of his excellent work in the field of the powder diffraction.
