About Cryo

Aims

Cryo (ISSN 3042-4860) is an international peer-reviewed open access journal focused on low temperature physics, quantum science and technology, cryogenic engineering and technology, cryogenic materials, spintronics and magnonics, as well as their interdisciplinary fields, covering scientific problems and technological applications ranging from deep cryogenic to low temperature range. The journal focuses on publishing reviews, regular research papers (articles), and short communications, but other article types will also be considered.

Cryo aims to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, the journal has no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. Research methodology must be provided in sufficient detail so that results can be reproduced.

Cryo covers topics of interest, including, but not limited to, the following:

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

Committee on Publication Ethics MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
