MRS Communications - Keywords list
MRS considers taxonomy to be foundational across Society content. Keywords selected from the taxonomy are used in federated searches across the MRS website, and are used to classify content in MRS journals and for journal-related searches. The taxonomy is applied to journal articles, abstracts submitted for MRS meetings presentations, calls for papers, and other content. Keywords are also assigned to members and users in the MRS database to indicate areas of interest. Use of these keywords selected from the taxonomy is highly encouraged to aid in the discoverability of your content.
