Journal of ECerS

The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature and/or under pressure.

Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. Papers on bioceramics are accepted and can include inorganic biomaterials, understood more broadly than the strict definition above. For example, inorganic biomaterials could be in scope even if they are not necessarily consolidated at high temperature or pressure, as long as the material itself is the central focus of the paper.

The main objective of this international journal is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.

The Journal of the European Ceramic Society's Impact Factor was of 6.3 for 2025 in the Journal Citation Reports. It remains ahead of its main rivals.
