Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite contributors to the upcoming volume entitled “Women’s Special Issue Series: Coatings”. This Special Issue aims to highlight the advancement and recognition of contributions made by people who identify as women, STEMinists, and minorities. We invite submissions to the Special Issue from all authors, regardless of gender. Submissions of articles with women as lead authors or with all-female authorship are particularly encouraged.

The goal of this SI is to recognize the work of excellent researchers on the topic of “recent advances in inorganic/organic/coatings and other surface treatments for the protection of various materials”. The Issue editors welcome the submission of original research articles, short communication, review and other types of contributions by all generations of scientists.

We encourage articles in which the lead and/or corresponding authors are women. However, we recognize that gender identity is personal and that our understanding of equity and equality is constantly evolving; therefore, we welcome submissions from all authors, regardless of gender.

We look forward to receiving your contribution. We welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender.
