Aim and Scope

Applied Surface Science covers topics contributing to a better understanding of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructures and their applications. The journal is concerned with scientific research on the atomic and molecular level of material properties determined with specific surface analytical techniques and/or computational methods, as well as the processing of such structures.

This journal accommodates the following topics:

• Surface science of catalysis, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis;
• Deposition and growth;
• 2D assembly;
• Surface and interface modification by directed energy deposition (lasers, ion or electron beams) or other techniques such as plasmas;
• Surface engineering and functionalization;
• Functional surfaces and coatings;
• Electrochemistry at surfaces and corrosion protection strategies;
• Surface science applied to energy conversion and storage;
• Surface nanotechnology and devices;
• Semiconductors - surface and interface;
• Biointerfaces.

Acceptance Rate

The acceptance rate/percentage of any academic journal/conference depends upon many parameters. Some of the critical parameters are listed below.

• The demand or interest of researchers/scientists in publishing in a specific Journal/Conference.
• Peer review complexity and timeline.
• The mix of unsolicited and invited submissions.
• The time it takes from manuscript submission to final publication.
• And Many More.

It is essential to understand that the acceptance rate/rejection rate of papers varies among journals. Some Journals considers all the manuscripts submissions as a basis of acceptance rate computation. On the other hand, few consider the only manuscripts sent for peer review or few even not bother about the accurate maintenance of total submissions. Hence, it can provide a rough estimation only.

The best way to find out the acceptance rate is to reach out to the associated editor or to check the official website of the Journal/Conference.
