|
| Above are the representative lists of
subject areas, NanoTrends in practice may accept other subject areas that fall
under the defined broad scope and are consistence with the precise nano meter
scale |
|
| Over and above, in case of doubt to
determine the matching of embodied contents in a manuscript with the defined
scope of NanoTrends, one may apply the following yard- stick. |
|
-
If, the manuscript deals in Nanoscale dimensions.
-
If the manuscript covers the applications and/ or
usages of Nanoscale materials/ equipments/ products or services.
-
Whether the field Nanoscience / Nanotechnology is
widely and deeply engrossed in the manuscript.
|
|
The type of contributions in general that NanoTrends
look forward to receive are mainly an out-come of original research, review
papers that summarizes the state of the art for a specific nano research field
or tutorials, that stress upon the multidisciplinary views of nanomaterials and
those related to significant nanotechnologies.
NanoTrends also accepts popular articles and
similar reading material that embodies thought contents touching one or more
domains listed above and that may cater to the needs of general clientele.

|
| Contributors may note that in all cases,
the NanoTrends’ decision (Editorial board/ Publication Management Team) on the
relevance of a manuscript’s contents with the scope of the journal is taken as
final.
