《Rare Metals》is sponsored by the Nonferrous Metals Society of China and General Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals bimonthly, which was launched in 1982. The editor-in-chief is Professor Tu Hailing, the member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The journal is dedicated to the publication and the dissemination of original research articles (and occasional invited reviews) in the field of rare metals to establish a platform for communication between engineers and scientists. Its coverage includes the metallurgy, processing, and determination of rare metals. The journal also publishes papers on the application of rare metals in advanced materials, such as superconductors, semiconductors, composites, and ceramics. 《Rare Metals》is now abstracted/indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), EI Compendex, Chemical Abstracts(CA), Cambridge Scientific Abstracts(CSA), SCOPUS, Springerlink and so on. 2010 SCI impact factor of 《Rare Metals》is 0.643. To further improving 《Rare Metals》 international influence，it makes a sustained effort to soon become leading academic journal interiorly and well-known academic journal internationally. In order to raise the academic level as the core, the journal endeavors to attract world-class articles, consummate international digital network system and augment editor’s team construction.
