History[]
The journal was established in 1998 as a collaboration between Elsevier and the (EMRS). The founding editor was Phil Mestecky. Materials Today was distributed free of charge to EMRS 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]
