Journals

Applied Research showcases exceptional international research spanning fields across the physical and life sciences that help unite the approaches of fundamental research and sustainable problem solving, thus serving a highly interdisciplinary community. The Journal aims at publishing papers that help uncovering the link between fundamental studies and applications, whether real or potential, which are focused on solving real-world issues. 

Applied Research publishes a variety of peer-reviewed, high-quality work on applications in Materials, Applied Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Engineering. Authors may choose from a variety of article types: Research Articles, Reviews, Minireviews, Tutorials, Perspectives, and Application Notes. The readership is broad and international, and the journal promotes themes of current interest and collaborative projects. 

Our goal is to bridge the gap between fundamental and applied research and highlight the path towards the applications of ideas through experiments, protocols, software, instrumentation, novel engineering and more. The Journal welcomes submissions covering fundamental studies that push the underlying ideas toward an application or a solution for real-world problems. Our mission is to offer authors a place to publish their conceptual ideas, reviews, methods and techniques, and other materials that enlighten the path of innovation development. 

Applied Research covers important topics. We recognize a number of global initiatives defining the future development of science. The UN Sustainable Development Goals is one of the core principles we adopted for our ideation and selection processes. The Journal coverage is broad, yet we have principles that define our priorities. We believe in the purpose of this Journal to underscore high-impact research that brings innovative applications and technology to society.

Applied Research has just started off as a new journal. We are building it together with our first contributors. Our approach is not about collecting articles en masse. On the contrary, we are actively seeking out a selection of partners, projects, and collaborations that will make the Journal a true showcase that highlights innovations that are important globally. We aim to enable institutes that do critical research to get the recognition they deserve. Join us in developing the content and setting the Journal on a high trajectory, so that together we achieve a high impact and maximum visibility of projects important to the research community.
