納米技術(shù)的目標(biāo)是在所有學(xué)科的納米尺度科學(xué)和技術(shù)前沿發(fā)表原創(chuàng)研究。該雜志的范圍包括研究納米尺度的基本現(xiàn)象和這些現(xiàn)象的應(yīng)用。“納米技術(shù)”被認(rèn)為包括以納米級精度單獨(dú)處理、控制和修改結(jié)構(gòu)、材料和設(shè)備的能力，以及將這些結(jié)構(gòu)合成為微觀和宏觀尺寸的系統(tǒng)，如基于MEMS的設(shè)備。要發(fā)表在期刊上，文章必須符合最高的科學(xué)質(zhì)量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，包含重要的和原始的新科學(xué)，并在納米科學(xué)和技術(shù)上取得實(shí)質(zhì)性進(jìn)展。合成材料的研究應(yīng)包括在方法、材料或演示應(yīng)用方面的重大創(chuàng)新。為了確保高編輯標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，每一篇提交的文章都要經(jīng)過雜志編輯的初步評估，然后再提交給獨(dú)立的審稿人。經(jīng)過編輯的初步評估，文章可以不經(jīng)評審而被拒絕。由于我們收到大量的論文，很抱歉我們無法就個(gè)別文章提供反饋。對這一決定提出上訴的作者必須通過nano@iop.org向該雜志的編輯委員會(huì)證明，他們的論文包含了具有高質(zhì)量和趣味性的重要新科學(xué)。

Nanotechnology aims to publish original research at the forefront of nanoscale science and technology across all disciplines. The journal's scope encompasses the study of both fundamental phenomena at the nanoscale and applications of these phenomena. 'Nanotechnology' is taken to include the ability to individually address, control, and modify structures, materials and devices with nanometre precision, and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions such as MEMS based devices.To be publishable in the journal, articles must meet the highest scientific quality standards, contain significant and original new science, and make substantial advances in nanoscale science and technology. Research on the synthesis of materials should contain a significant innovation either in methodology, materials or demonstrated application. To ensure high editorial standards, every submitted article is initially assessed by the editors of the journal before being sent to independent referees. Articles can be rejected without refereeing after this initial assessment by the editors. Due to the high volume of papers that we receive, we regret that we are unable to provide feedback on individual articles. Authors appealing against the decision will have to demonstrate to the Editorial Board of the journal at nano@iop.org that their paper contains significant new science of high quality and interest.
