International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials

International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials (IJMMM, ISSN 1674-4799, CN 11-5787/TF, monthly, started in 1994, formerly known as Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing) is an international journal devoted to publishing original research articles (and occasional invited reviews) on all aspects of minerals processing, physical metallurgy, process metallurgy, and materials science and processing. Coverage is well-rounded from minerals characterization and developments in extraction to the fabrication and performance of materials. The journal welcomes articles on the relationships among the processing, structure and properties of minerals, metals, and materials. Specific areas of interest are nano materials, new metallic materials, inorganic nonmetallic materials, advanced ceramics, functional materials, metallic matrix composites and more. Indexed in SCI, EI, Scopus, etc.


Chinese Journal of Engineering

Chinese Journal of Engineering, formerly the Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing, is an academic journal of science and technology supervised by the Ministry of Education and sponsored by the University of Science and Technology Beijing (ISSN 2095‒9389, CN 10‒1297/TF). The journal is a monthly publication, issued at home and abroad. It mainly publishes high-quality research articles with innovative significance or great application value in the field of engineering.

As the Chinese Journal of Engineering always prioritizes the quality of the journal, the ranking of the journal continues to rise and has a considerable academic influence in the field of engineering. It has been listed among A Guide to the Core Journals of China, Source Journals for Chinese Scientific and Technical Papers and Citations, and Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD). The journal was also indexed in World Journal Clout Index Report (2020 STM). The journal has been included in a number of reputable foreign databases, such as Scopus, Engineering Index (EI), Chemical Abstracts, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Abstract Journal (Russia), and Zbl MATH (Germany).


Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing (Social Sciences Edition)

Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing (Social Sciences Edition) was founded in 1985, bimonthly, with CN 11-3975/C, and ISSN 1008-2689. As a humanities and social sciences academic journal, it always adheres to the correct theory guidance, actively participates in academic exchanges at home and abroad, insists on the general concepts of openness and inclusiveness, with the realistic (having new ideas, and focusing on empirical researches), deepness (being at academic frontiers, and promoting the deepening of academic researches) and innovation (making sense, and being original) as the principles of publishing papers. In the selection of manuscripts, the journal welcomes the manuscripts focusing on the combination of science and technology and humanities, especially the papers with academic contention, which has become the characteristics of the journal. The academic research columns are as follows: Higher Education, Party Construction, Ideology and Politic, Functional Linguistics, Oral History, Academic Contention and Criticism, Reading and Research, Science, Philosophy, Sociology, Management, Economics, Politics, law, Literature and Art, History, etc.


Powder Metallurgy Technology

Powder Metallurgy Technology, under the competent authority of China Association for Science and Technology, is a professional and technical journal sponsored by Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, The Chinese Society for Metals, The Nonferrous Metals Society of China and University of Science and Technology Beijing. Powder Metallurgy Technology, started in 1982, is the earliest journal in the field of powder metallurgy in China, and the Editor-in-chief is Prof. Qu Xuan-hui. In 2018, Powder Metallurgy Technology was selected as the Excellent Science and Technology Journals of Chinese Universities awarded by Society of China University Journals; in 2020, Powder Metallurgy Technology was selected as the Fourth Excellent Journal of Nonferrous Metals in China awarded by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China.

Powder Metallurgy Technology has been indexed by many database systems, including: Source Journals for Chinese Scientific and Technical Papers and Citations, A Guide to the Core Journals of China, Chinese Science Citation Database, China Core Journal Alternative Database, Chinese Academic Journal Comprehensive Evaluation Database.

Over the years, Powder Metallurgy Technology has been adhering to the purpose of "exchanging information, guiding the research and development and production of powder metallurgy; editing achievements, cultivating talents for the discipline of powder metallurgy", carrying out academic and technical exchanges, and promoting scientific research and production applications of powder metallurgy materials and products. It also reports on scientific research achievements, production practical experience, application of material products, testing and experiments, new technologies, new processes, new materials, new equipment, standardization, reviews and comments on domestic and international development trends, academic activities and information on industrial production, etc.

The main columns of Powder Metallurgy Technology include: Research and Development, Material Products Application, Technology and Equipment, Literature Review and Powder Metallurgy Industry Trends. Experts, scholars, science and technology engineers, teachers and students, business managers and people from all walks of life who support the development of the powder metallurgy industry are welcome to contribute actively.


Metal World

Metal world is a bimonthly, popular science journals supervised by China Association for Science and Technology, and co-sponsored by the Chinese Society for Metals, the Nonferrous Metals Society of China and University of Science and Technology Beijing. Its primary scope is related to scientific knowledge, technology, products and experience for metals. The subject columns in this journal include: cover story, hot focus, knowledge of garden, enterprise forum, technology and equipment, achievements presentation, promotion and cooperation.
