Liquid Crystals publishes accounts of original research concerned with all aspects of liquid crystal science and technology, including experimental and theoretical studies ranging from molecular design and synthesis to applications engineering. The journal focus is on liquid crystalline supermolecular organization and self-assembly in a wide range of materials, including thermotropic, lyotropic, interfacial, chiral, ferroelectric, polymer, micro/nanocomposite, biological and related soft-matter liquid crystal systems. Liquid Crystals provides the scientific community, in both academia and industry, with a publication of standing, guaranteed by the Editors and by the International Editorial Board who are active scientists in the worldwide liquid crystal community.

Phase Transitions is the only journal devoted exclusively to this important subject. It provides a focus for papers on most aspects of phase transitions in condensed matter. Although emphasis is placed primarily on experimental work, theoretical papers are welcome if they have some bearing on experimental results. The areas of interest include: -structural phase transitions (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, multiferroic, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, etc.) under a range of external parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, electric/magnetic fields, etc.) -geophysical phase transitions -metal-insulator phase transitions -superconducting and superfluid transitions -magnetic phase transitions -critical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitions -liquid crystals -technological applications of phase transitions -quantum phase transitions Phase Transitions publishes both research papers and invited articles devoted to special topics. Major review papers are particularly welcome. A further emphasis of the journal is the publication of a selected number of small workshops, which are at the forefront of their field.

Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry is continuing its transition to a journal that publishes exciting science with structural content, in particular, important results relating to the chemical sciences. Section C is the journal of choice for the rapid publication of articles that highlight interesting research facilitated by the determination, calculation or analysis of structures of any type, other than macromolecular structures. Articles that emphasize the science and the outcomes that were enabled by the study are particularly welcomed. Authors are encouraged to include mainstream science in their papers, thereby producing manuscripts that are substantial scientific well-rounded contributions that appeal to a broad community of readers and increase the profile of the authors.

Acta Crystallographica Section F is a rapid structural biology communications journal. Articles on any aspect of structural biology, including structures determined using high-throughput methods or from iterative studies such as those used in the pharmaceutical industry, are welcomed by the journal. The journal offers the option of open access, and all communications benefit from unlimited free use of colour illustrations and no page charges. Authors are encouraged to submit multimedia content for publication with their articles. Acta Cryst. F has a dedicated online tool called publBio that is designed to make the preparation and submission of articles easier for authors.

Liquid Crystals Today is a leading international peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, clinical updates, and reviews indexed in Clarivate Web of Science (SCIE) with Q4 quartile ranking.

Chinese Journal of Liquid Crystal and Displays (CJLCD) is an internationally unique and all-round technicality journal of China in the fields of both liquid and display sciences. Each issue contains four divisions of editorial scope: fundamental research, short letter, innovation technology, trend of recent development and state of production on all aspects of liquid crystals and displays sciences. CJLCD’s purpose is to provide an effective channel to understand one another in experimental and theoretical studies for the active researchers and engineers all over the world, promoting the developments of original theory and advanced technology in the fields. Papers called for includes: Liquid crystal and non-emissive materials, synthesis methods -Biological and related soft-matter liquid systems -Liquid crystal physics and chemistry -Non-linear optics on liquid crystal materials -Liquid crystal displays -Backlighting technologies -CRTs, Plasma, OLE, LE.FE, EL devices and displays -Display electronics -Active-matrix devices and displays -Display manufacturing technologies -Display measurements -Display systems -Flexible displays -Three dimensional displays -Other non-emissive devices and display, etc. CJLCD always welcomes everybody’s questions and suggestions to improve our service.

Established in 1966, Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals is a world-leading journal publishing original research papers in both an experimental and theoretical nature in three areas of specialization: liquid crystals, molecular crystals, and low-dimensional solids. These cover, but are not limited to: Liquid Crystals: -Electro- and magneto-optical phenomena; thermodynamics; phase transitions; structure; NMR and orientation-controlled spectroscopy; theory. Molecular Crystals: -Spectroscopy; energy and charge transfer; solid state reactions; photo and radiation effects Low-dimensional Solids: -Structure, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties; transport mechanisms The journal publishes research papers, review papers, and book reviews. In all three areas, experimental manuscripts describing both preparation and properties will be considered. Papers that describe determination of crystal structure alone are not encouraged unless some solid state forces (hydrogen bonding, charge transfer, etc.) are playing a significant role and/or some solid state properties of the materials are measured.

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports Online is the IUCr highly popular open-access structural journal. It provides a simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for the growing number of inorganic, metal-organic and organic crystal structure determinations. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure very rapid and high-quality publication, whilst key indicators and validation reports provide measures of structural reliability. In 2009, the journal published over 4000 structures. The average publication time is less than one month.

Crystallography Reports is a journal that publishes original articles short communications, and reviews on various aspects of crystallography: diffraction and scattering of X-rays, electrons, and neutrons, determination of crystal structure of inorganic and organic substances, including proteins and other biological substances; UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy; growth, imperfect structure and physical properties of crystals; thin films, liquid crystals, nanomaterials, partially disordered systems, and the methods of studies.

The Journal presents the following main directions of creation/construction, study and application of self-assembled materials: SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, PROPERTIES, MEDICINE, BIOLOGY, NANOTECHNOLOGY, SENSORS, PRACTICAL APPLICATION and INFORMATION. The journal is addressed to researchers, lecturers, university students, engineers. The publisher of the journal is the Nanomaterials Research Institute of "Ivanovo State University".

Journal of the Korean Crystal Growth and Crystal Technology is a leading international peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, clinical updates, and reviews indexed in Clarivate Web of Science (SCIE) with Q4 quartile ranking.

Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures was founded in 1997 as spin off of Zeitschrift für Kristallographie to meet the high demand to publish results of structure determination. All publications and their submitted CIF-data are online freely available (Open Access). Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures publishes results of determination of hitherto unknown crystal structures, and refinement of previously published crystal structures. Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures provides strict but constructive refereeing system, free access to submitted cif-files, Open Access to the PDF-files of publications, as well as data deposition at FIZ Karlsruhe and CCDC Cambridge.
