Coatings | Five New Sections Established and Two Sections Combined

In order to specifically develop different research areas and attract more high-quality papers, under the guidance of the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Emerson Coy, Coatings (ISSN: 2079-6412) has established five new Sections and has combined two Sections.

These Sections reflect the rapid evolution and deepening specialization of surgical research and are designed to provide focused platforms for surgeons, clinical practitioners, and innovators to share cutting-edge work.

The new Sections are as follows:

  • “Architectural and Infrastructure Coatings”;
  • “Cultural Heritage and Protective Coatings”;
  • “Composite Coatings”;
  • “Diamond and Related Coatings”;
  • “Metal Surface Process”.

The following two open Sections are combined:

  • “Plasma Coatings, Surfaces & Interfaces”;
  • “Laser Coatings”;

They are combined into “High-Energy Beam Surface Engineering and Coatings”.

Special Issues and papers will be reorganized to align with the new Section structure.

Each Section focuses on distinct core themes, with detailed Section Information (covering concept overviews, key research priorities, and welcome topics) available on the journal’s official website. We welcome submissions of high-quality research articles, reviews, and communications that align with these themes and look forward to sharing research that advances the potential of surgical science and patient care.

In addition, we are currently recruiting Guest Editors for all Sections. If you are an active researcher in these fields and are passionate about publishing cutting-edge research, please contact us at coatings@mdpi.com.
