Maney Publishing acquires Matrice Technology Ltd materials science journals

Leeds, UK, 3 November 2006

Maney Publishing has acquired two key journals from Matrice Technology Ltd. Materials Technology and Materials Research Innovations are the latest additions to Maney's growing list of titles in the field of materials science and engineering.

The two journals are international in scope, peer-reviewed and have highly regarded editors, Professor F.H. (Sam) Froes, University of Idaho, and Professor Rustum Roy of Pennsylvania State University, USA. Materials Technology bridges the gap between innovation and application of advanced technologies and science, with peer-reviewed papers and Technology Specials. Materials Research Innovations is a unique journal in its breadth of scope, aimed at fostering innovative research with rapid publication of new results. From 2007 Maney will expand on and develop the scopes to cover new subject areas in their materials science publications.

Dave Woolstencroft, of Matrice Technology Limited, said: “This deal with Maney Publishing will ensure the continuation of the important work of Materials Technology and Materials Research Innovations. There is huge scope for development in terms of readership, author submissions and content, which signifies a bright future for the research and development work of these two journals.”

Michael Gallico, Managing Director of Maney Publishing, said: “We are delighted to have two more excellent titles to add to our materials science collection. Maney has become a lead player in the field of materials science and these latest acquisitions complement and expand on our existing journal coverage.
