This journal offers an open access platform to communicate progress in the field of carbon materials science. The scope of Carbon Trends comprises new developments associated to all forms of carbon, including traditionally bulk carbons to low-dimensional carbon-based structures. New and significant results related to the properties of material systems where carbon plays the central role are the core of the journal. However, articles on composites and on materials closely related to carbon (e.g., similar composition or morphologies) will also be considered by the Editors of Carbon Trends. This includes nitrides, carbides, and graphene-like low-dimensional materials (0D, 1D, and 2D).

Accepted manuscripts will be reviewed using the journal’s publication standards and will thus be peer-reviewed in the same way as regular submissions. Acceptance of a contribution for presentation at the summer school does not automatically include acceptance for publication in the special issue.

Papers will be submitted directly on the journal webpage. Contributors should make sure that they select “NSSY24” as the special issue. This will allow the editor to fully waive the publication fees in this open-access journal. Manuscripts should be directly submitted via the journal's website, ensuring selection of "NSSY2024" as the special issue to facilitate full waiver of publication fees in this open-access journal. Manuscripts should be submitted by the end of June 2024. More information can be obtained by contacting the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Vincent Meunier at vincent.meunier@psu.edu.
