The Link
By: Diana Petrowicz, Thu Nov 26 2020

At the beginning of this year Springer Nature signed a strategic new publishing agreement with the Materials Research Society (MRS) which will come into effect from 1 January 2021. As part of this collaboration we will publish all five journals in the MRS portfolio including the MRS Bulletin, Journal of Materials Research, MRS Communications, MRS Energy & Sustainability, MRS Advances, two archival journals (the MRS Online Proceedings Library and the MRS Internet Journal of Nitride Semiconductor Research) as well as the Materials Research Society Series eBooks.

New Content Item


Our Executive Editor for Mathematics, Physical and Applied Sciences, Anita Lekhwani, helped champion the bid for this portfolio that represented a body of high-quality content in the burgeoning area of materials science.   Springer Nature was identified as MRS’s preferred publishing partner at the end of a highly selective and competitive bid in late 2019. Anita has been working on the integration of the MRS products into Springer Nature’s workflows throughout 2020 to prepare for our launch in January 2021. We talked to her about the new partnership, her team’s role, and future expectations.
