The Materials Science Research Network (MatSciRN) is an open platform where materials science researchers can freely post and freely download research. Here you will find early stage research including preprints, conference papers and working papers from researchers around the world. MatSciRN provides a venue for researchers to showcase early stage versions of their research, to share them in an open and free environment, and to speed up the dissemination of their research. It also provides readers access to groundbreaking work before it has been published.

Acta Materialia, Inc. an international consortium of materials science societies and organizations that supports the entire broad materials research community, is the sponsor for this open materials science research sharing space.
