Concept
Metamaterials was a peer-reviewed scientific journal that was established in March 2007. It was published by Elsevier in association with the Metamorphose Network of Excellence. The coordinating editor was Mikhail Lapine. The journal was published quarterly, with occasional special issues. It covered research concerning metamaterials, such as artificial electromagnetic materials, which includes various types of composite periodic structures and frequency selective surfaces in the microwave and optical range. Metamaterials was abstracted and/or indexed in the following databases: Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Compendex, Ei Compendex, Inspec, and Scopus. The title was discontinued in 2013, and was incorporated into Photonics and Nanostructures - Fundamentals and Applications as a special section. The following is derived from the list of Top 10 Cited articles published in the last five years, extracted from Scopus on Sunday, June 6, 2010. The articles listed here on not necessarily in order of most cited. Sihvola, A.; Metamaterials in electromagnetics. Volume 1, Issue 1. pp 2–11 2007. . Cited 46 times in Scopus. Boltasseva, A. and Shalaev, V.M.; Fabrication of optical negative-index metamaterials : Recent advances and outlook. Volume 2, Issue 1. pp 1–17. 2008. 10.1016/j.metmat.2008.03.004.
