《國際材料評論》出版了材料科學(xué)和工程各方面文獻(xiàn)的同行評議批判性評估。它的目的是及時、權(quán)威地介紹當(dāng)前的思考、發(fā)展和仔細(xì)選擇的課題的研究。前沿評論提供了該學(xué)科快速發(fā)展領(lǐng)域的簡要概述，同時保持了該期刊的高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)嚴(yán)格性和關(guān)鍵性評估。大多數(shù)評論是由編輯邀請的，但對評論的建議是受歡迎的。訂閱者現(xiàn)在可以訪問IMR的全部反數(shù)字化后存檔，直到1956年首次出版。

International Materials Reviews publishes peer-reviewed critical assessments of the literature on all aspects of materials science and engineering. Its aim is to provide timely, authoritative introductions to current thinking, developments and research in carefully selected topics. Leading edge reviews provide a concise overview of rapidly developing areas of the discipline, while maintaining the journal's high standard of rigour and critical assessment. Most reviews are invited by the Editors but proposals for reviews are welcomed.Subscribers now have access to the entire retrodigitised back-archive of IMR, extending to the initial publication in 1956.
