Aim and Scope
The aim of the Journal is to highlight important fundamental and practical issues that are of interest for scientific community in the field of materials for micro- and nanoelectronics, study of their structure and properties and method of their control.
The objective of the Journal is to publish novel research results obtained by scientists and postgraduate students of higher education institutions and scientific organizations of Russia, CIS and other states, as well as reviews and proceedings of respective conferences.
The Journal deals with multiple topics including materials science and technology of crystalline semiconductors, dielectrics, magnetic materials, physical properties and technologies of multilayered structures and composite materials including nanostructural ones, structure and properties of interfaces, non-thermal methods of activating physical processes, quantum sized structures and nanocrystals, properties of amorphous and organic semiconductors, simulation of heat, hydraulic and gas growth dynamics single crystals and epitaxial layers for electronics, as ell as synthesis and purification of semiconductor grade materials.

Open Access Policy
This is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access.
Peer-Review
All the articles submitted to the Journal are necessarily examined by referees. Upon the receipt of an article the Editorial Board carries out initial examination and checking for compliance with the topics and requirements of the Journal.
If not compliant with the topics of the Journal, a manuscript is rejected, and an appropriate notification is sent to the authors.
The Editorial Board observes ethic rules regarding confidentiality of scientific information contained in articles before its publication in open media.
Referee examination procedure
- Members of the editorial board and leading Russian and international experts in corresponding areas of sciences, invited as independent readers, perform peer reviews. Editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief or science editor choose readers for peer review. We aim to limit the review process to 2-4 weeks, though in some cases the schedule may be adjusted at the reviewer’s request.
- Reviewer has an option to abnegate the assessment should any conflict of interests arise that may affect perception or interpretation of the manuscript. Referees observe ethics and do not use scientific information made available to them during examination for their own purposes before article publication in open media.
- Upon the scrutiny, the reviewer is expected to present the editorial board with one of the following recommendations:
- to accept the paper in its present state;
- to invited the author to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before final decision is reached;
- to reject the manuscript outright. - If the reviewer has recommended any refinements, the editorial staff would suggest the author either to implement the corrections, or to dispute them reasonably. Authors are kindly required to limit their revision to 2 months and resubmit the adapted manuscript within this period for final evaluation.
- We politely request that the editor be notified verbally or in writing should the author decide to refuse from publishing the manuscript. In case the author fails to do so within 3 months since receiving a copy of the initial review, the editorial board takes the manuscript off the register and notifies the author accordingly.
- If author and reviewers meet insoluble contradictions regarding revision of the manuscript, the editor-in-chief resolves the conflict by his own authority.
- The editorial board reaches final decision to reject a manuscript on the hearing according to reviewers’ recommendations, and duly notifies the authors of their decision via e-mail. The board does not accept previously rejected manuscripts for re-evaluation.
- Upon the decision to accept the manuscript for publishing, the editorial staff notifies the authors of the scheduled date of publication.
- Kindly note that positive review does not guarantee the acceptance, as final decision in all cases lies with the editorial board. By his authority, editor-in-chief rules final solution of every conflict.
- Original reviews of submitted manuscripts remain deposited for 3 years.
Indexation
Articles in "Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii. Materialy Elektronnoi Tekhniki" ("Materials of Electronics Engineering") are indexed by several systems:
- Russian Scientific Citation Index (RSCI) – a database, accumulating information on papers by Russian scientists, published in native and foreign titles. The RSCI project is under development since 2005 by “Electronic Scientific Library” foundation (elibrary.ru).
- Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. The Google Scholar index includes most peer-reviewed online journals of Europe and America's largest scholarly publishers, plus scholarly books and other non-peer reviewed journals.

Publishing Ethics
Editorial Board’s Ethics
The Editorial Board, the Editorial Team and the Founders of the Journal observe publishing ethics and authors rights, adhering to the rules contained in the Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement provided by Springer (www.springer.com) based on the ethic codes and standards by the COPE (Committee on Publishing Ethics) (www.publicationethics.org) and other leading publishers and scientific communities (http://singaporestatement.org/statement.html). Adherence to ethics is important for ensuring the high quality of scientific publications, public confidence to scientific activity results and adequate recognition of authors’ merits.
We emphasize the necessity to avoid falsification, plagiarism and self-plagiarism, practice of sending manuscripts with the same content to more than one magazine, duplication of similar data in multiple articles, false attribution of authorship and misleading the scientific community regarding the actual contribution of authors to publications.
The Editorial Board guarantees unprejudiced examination of all manuscripts submitted for publication based on their scientific value determined by the importance of the addressed issues and tasks, presentation clarity and the justification and authenticity of scientific results reported in articles. The Editorial Board reserves the right to check manuscripts for plagiarism (using appropriate software) and data duplication in authors’ other publications. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject a manuscript if two negative opinions of leading experts invited as referees are received and duly analyzed at an Editorial Team meeting. The Editorial Board provides authors with referee opinions subject to confidentiality of referees’ personal data.
Authors’ Ethics
Manuscript authors adhere to ethics and bear responsibility for absence of plagiarism in their manuscript (unfair referencing); they also guarantee absence of result falsification, authenticity of the results and their reproducibility by the methods reported in the manuscript.
Manuscript authors bear joint responsibility for the contents of the article being published and for absence of any information that can be treated as State secret or commercial secret of the sponsoring organization. All the authors should make valuable contribution to the study the results of which are published.
Authors assume the obligation not to send the same or similar manuscripts (containing copied illustrations) to the editorial boards of more than one magazine before receiving the final conclusion of our Journal.
Referees’ Ethics
Referees adhere to ethics and guarantee absence of conflict of interests when accepting manuscripts for examination.
Referees observe confidentiality of the information contained in manuscripts.
Referees do not use scientific information made available to them during examination in their own interests.
