SN Applied Sciences is now a fully open access journal and accepted for indexing in SCOPUS!
As of January 2021 SN Applied Sciences has become a fully open access (OA) journal. This means that all content published in the journal is published under an open access license, and freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse. SN Applied Sciences will only be accepting articles for publication via the immediate OA route.
See the full announcement by navigating to the Journal Updates section via the SN Applied Sciences homepage or by using the following website address: https://www.springer.com/journal/42452/updates/1864048
SN Applied Sciences is a multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal for the disciplines of Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Materials Science and Physics. It fosters sound scientific discovery to solve practical problems. The journal encourages quality, scientifically valid, original articles which present a good understanding of scientific knowledge, experiments and theories, methods and techniques, as well as interdisciplinary linkages. It welcomes research articles, review papers, case studies, and short communications. SN Applied Sciences offers Topical Collections designed to consolidate publications of a specific research topic. Articles can be either released as direct papers or within a Topical Collection.
Content will be accessible for free in the first two years.
Opportunities for you or your organization to partner with the Journal and enjoy planning and publishing Topical Collections in hot areas of research, without the pressure of publishing a fully-fledged journal

The Interdisciplinary section provides a forum for multi-disciplinary projects that cover the expertise of experiments, numerical modelling, and theory to provide a better understanding of key processes. It welcomes manuscripts combining or link disciplines of applied sciences and explore theoretical or practical problems.
The Chemistry and Materials section deals with the key research fields of chemistry and material science. Among many topics that our section covers, we promote the topics relating to the catalysis, activation of small molecules, electrochemistry and energy materials. The following keywords are only few of the key topics in our section:
Electrocatalysis
Click chemistry
Heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis
Biochemistry
Green synthesis of nanoparticles
Energy conversion
Biomass
Construction materials
Photocatalysis
Water splitting
Fuel cells
Inorganic chemistry
Analytical chemistry
Oxygen reduction reaction
Electrolysers
Food chemistry
The Physics and Materials section of SN Applied Sciences targets the latest development in the Applied Physics area and its intersection with the Material Sciences. We encourage topics that generate an interest or are related to global challenges, including among others, alternative energy sources, climate change, food and water safety and innovative health. Some keywords tha t we are considering are:
Electronic properties of materials
Structure-Property relationship and characterization
Superconductivity and Magnetism
Spintronics
Organic electronics
Perovskite/ Silicon solar cells
Biomaterials and health applications
Bioelectronics and sensors
Applied photochemistry
Photonic materials

Sustainable development in Material Sciences
The Earth and Environmental Science section of SN Applied Sciences aims to publish relevant articles and case studies within Earth and Environmental System Sciences. We welcome disciplinary papers from the fields of Physical Geography, Geology, Climate, Oceanography and Natural Hazards, as well as those with strong interdisciplinary connections from the fields of Geophysics, Environmental Chemistry, Geochemistry and Environmental Engineering. We welcome contributions which demonstrate linkages between natural and anthropogenic processes, human-environmental interactions and environmental processes and applications.
We are excited to announce that SN Applied Sciences will become a fully open access (OA) journal in 2021. This means that as of January 2021, all content published in the journal will be published under an open access license, and freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse.
Topical Collections are specially designed to facilitate collective research that is either ongoing or time dependent. The benefits of which give Guest Editors, Societies, Universities, Research Groups, their own resource in one place.
