Aims and scope

Aim

Medicine and Materials is a high-quality, peer-reviewed open access journal dedicated to the advancement of research at the intersection of medicine and materials science. The journal aims to provide a dynamic platform for the dissemination of original research, comprehensive reviews, and scholarly perspectives that explore how materials contribute to medical innovation, diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare technologies.

We welcome submissions from researchers, clinicians, engineers, and scientists working across a wide spectrum of disciplines where medicine and materials converge.

Scope

The journal covers, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Biomaterials — development and application of materials for medical use, including implants, prosthetics, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering

  • Biochemistry — molecular and biochemical mechanisms underpinning material–biological interactions

  • Dentistry — materials used in restorative and preventive dentistry, dental implants, and bioactive dental substances

  • Forensic Sciences — materials analysis in forensic investigations, toxicology, and pathology

  • General and Clinical Medicine — applications of materials in diagnostics, therapeutics, imaging, and personalized medicine

  • Health Sciences — materials used in public health technologies, devices, and medical infrastructure

  • Pharmacy and Pharmacology — drug formulations, nanomaterials for targeted drug delivery, and pharmaceutical coatings

  • Surgery — surgical materials and tools, biocompatible sutures, grafts, and surgical adhesives

The journal accepts the following types of contributions:

  • Original Research Articles

  • Review Articles

  • Short Communications

  • Case Reports (with material relevance)

  • Book Reviews and Project Reviews

Medicine and Materials encourages interdisciplinary research and cross-sector collaboration that pushes the boundaries of traditional fields. The journal is committed to promoting scientific rigor, open access dissemination, and innovation in healthcare through materials science.
