The journal family includes Applied Materials Today, Materials Today Chemistry, Materials Today Energy, Materials Today Physics, Materials Today Nano, Materials Today Sustainability, Materials Today Communications, Materials Today Advances and Materials Today: Proceedings; as well as an extended collection of related publications.[3][4]
The journal was established in 1998 as a collaboration between Elsevier and the European Materials Research Society. The founding editor was Phil Mestecky. The journal was distributed free of charge to society members and to anyone else who requested a subscription. The spin-off titles Materials Today Communications, Materials Today: Proceedings, and Applied Materials Today were launched between 2014 and 2015. In October 2016, Materials Today announced plans to further develop the journal and related family: including the appointment of new editors, the inclusion of primary research articles, and the planned launch of an extended family of titles.[4] The journal transitioned into an open access publication in 2012 but announced the introduction of subscription articles alongside open-access articles from 2017.[4]
