READ IJCES PAPERS

IJCES is the official journal from The American Ceramic Society to publish conference papers. As Conference Proceedings have been phased out by ACerS, IJCES has replaced with benefits of fully indexed papers for higher impact to the authorship.

Among the conferences served by IJCES are MS&T, ICACC, MCARE, and UNITECR.

Upcoming Meetings

NEW Publish your presentations from Alkali Activated Materials and Geopolymers: Sustainable Construction Materials and Ceramics Made Under Ambient Conditions in IJCES.  The conference is being held May 28 - June 2, 2023 in Calabria, Italy.

Submit your manuscript to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijces.Submission deadline August 1, 2023 Please feel free to submit sooner for early publication!
Mention "Alkali Activated Materials and Geopolymers"  in the cover letter and in the "special issue" submission question.

Article processing/publication charges not paid by agreements with Wiley will be discounted 20%. A small number of waivers are available for those without funding.

About IJCES

This comprehensive and international journal provides a platform to communicate discoveries and contributions from academics and industry. The journal welcomes contributions targeting fundamental scientific questions, as well as application oriented systematic works.

This new, Gold Open Access journal is led by Ricardo H.R. Castro, professor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Davis. His work focuses on providing fundamental understanding of ceramic nanomaterials and their behavior during sintering and operation at extreme environments, such as high temperatures and irradiation. Castro has received the Robert L. Coble Award by The American Ceramic Society and the Global Young Investigator Award by its Engineering Ceramics Division, among other important national and international awards.

Suitability of the paper to the Journal is guided by the topic (a broad ceramic/glass audience) but also on the following questions:

  • Does the work describe experimental methods and/or models with appropriate detail for reader comprehension?
  • Does it provide sufficient evidence/data to support conclusions?
  • Are the references relevant and appropriately reflect the existing literature?
  • Are the results discussed in the context of the literature and their benefits to the field and/or to the global community?
