EDITORIAL
The top ten articles have been downloaded more than 8,000 times suggesting a significant visibility of Mat. Res and the gradual incorporation of this journal in the national and international techno-scientific literature. We thus expect that its impact factor will steadily increase in the next few years.
Recent statistics indicate that about 60% of the articles submitted to Mat. Res. are published (after minor or major corrections). The average time from submission to publication is 6 months, whereas the time for rejection varies from 1 to 6 months.
At present Materials Research is indexed by the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE), which includes the Web of Science, ISI Alerting Service and Materials Science Citation Index (MSCI), Chemical Abstracts, World Ceramic Abstracts, International Pool of Glass Abstracts, Scopus and SciELO.
We gratefully acknowledge the Brazilian funding agencies CNPq and CAPES for their continuous support in covering most of the editorial and printing costs of Mat. Res. The help from the Department of Materials Engineering, Federal University of São Carlos DEMa/UFSCar) for mailing expenses; the Vitreous Materials Laboratory LaMaV/UFSCar) for fax and telephone expenses are also acknowledged. Associação Brasileira de Metalurgia, Materiais e Mineração (ABM) and Associação Brasileira de Polímeros (ABPol) cover the editorial assistant's salary. Associação Brasileira de Cerâmica - ABC, ABPol, and ABM have also helped advertising Materials Research and managing its subscriptions and financial resources.
