Author a Technical Article for a Journal

Authors may submit articles for consideration in one of seven TMS journals: Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation; JOM; Journal of Electronic Materials; Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy; or Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A or B.

Why Should You Author a Paper?

The benefits to your career include the opportunity to:

  • Share your work with an audience of your peers
  • Develop your writing skills
  • Raise your profile in the materials community

Time Commitment

After writing and submitting the initial paper, journal article authors are expected to set aside a few additional hours to help prepare the article for final publication. This process includes reviewing proofs sent by journal editors and clarifying ideas when necessary.
