Nanosystems are evolving rapidly, with new scientific studies and technical applications emerging. It is foreseeable that nanosystems will become highly complimentary technologies that will significantly impact various large industries across the globe.
The overall aim of the starting new IJNS is to bring science and applications together on nanoscale systems with emphasis on multiscale modelling and simulation, design, fabrication, characterization, and applications. The new international journal is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers.
Topics covered by the IJNS include (but are not limited to):
Multiscale modelling and simulation
Nanoscale surface and interface phenomena
Adhesion, nanotribology and nanowear
Micro/Nano design
Nanomaterials

Submission Guideline: General Guidelines: For full articles, the manuscript, written in English, should not exceed 30 pages in length (ca. 20 printed pages) and for mini-reviews a maximum of 40 pages in length (ca. 15 printed pages). The manuscript should be typed in double-spacing throughout on A-4 or American quarto paper. Dot matrix print or any print that is difficult to read is unacceptable. Two copies of the manuscript must accompany the original (along with a computer disk (CD)) and should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief at his address. All pages should be numbered. Abbreviations should be defined the first time they are used in the manuscript and a list of abbreviations used should also be provided.
Manuscript Organization: The manuscript should be divided as: Title page, abstract and the main text. The text may be subdivided further according to the areas to be discussed.
Abstract: The abstract should not exceed 250 words and it should condense the essential features of the article, with the focus on the background, methodology, results, conclusions and major advances in the field.
Key Words: Authors must supply up to eight key words along with their manuscript.
Text: The main text should begin on a separate page and it may be subdivided into separate sections. The article should mention any previous important in the field and contain a comprehensive discussion starting with the general background of the field. It should then go on to discuss the salient features of recent developments. The authors should avoid presenting material which has already been published in previous reviews. The reference numbers should be given in square brackets in the text. Acknowledgements should be kept to a minimum.
References: All references must be numbered in the text in square brackets, e.g. [6], or [8, 11-16], in order of citation in the text. Titles of journals are abbreviated according to Chemical Abstract Service Source Index, example:
[1] V.S. Gomase and S. Tagore, “Blood Stage Parasites: Sufficient to Induce Protective Immunity”. Current Drug Metabolism, 9(3), 238-240, 2008.
