Scope, Aims & Topics

NanoWorld Journal (NWJ) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, reviews, letters to editor, and technical notes on the solutions through Nanotechnology and Nanosciences to the problems facing the world in the key sectors of energy, environment, space, hardware and cancer in order to achieve significant progress with the involvement of overall society in a dedicated sixth section of the Journal. The scope of the NWJ is centered in the key sectors from which depends on human progress and survival, with the aims to enhance worldwide cooperation in Research and Development. NWJ aims to provide the highest coverage in the fields of Nanotechnology, Nanomedicine, Nanomaterials, Nanoenergy, Nanoparticles, Graphene, Cancer Nanotechnology, Nanotubes, Nanosensors, Nanotechnology Drug Delivery, Materials science, etc., to help to overcome problems too frequently underestimated and growing from energy to environment and natural disasters, from cancer to hardware and space.

In Depth Review on Light Scattering Techniques for Characterization of Protein, Polymer, Macromolecule, and Nanoparticle

Suparno Suparno and Khafidh Nur Aziz

The characterization of polymers, proteins, macromolecules, and nanoparticles is becoming more crucial for various industries such as pharmaceuticals, medicine, cosmetics, food, surfactants, printing, and coatings. Although light scattering techniques for characterization of colloidal particles pose a lot of advantages, our knowledge in this area is still limited.

Marine Actinomycetes Siderophores: Types, High Throughput Characterization Techniques, Applications, and Their Association with Nanotechnology: A Comprehensive Review

Mounika Sarvepalli, Aditya Velidandi, Arun Kumar Ramachandravarapu and Narasimhulu Korrapati

Iron is one of the most essential micronutrients for all the existing life systems. However, at biological pH, iron gets oxidised to insoluble oxyhydroxide polymers. In low iron conditions, microbes secrete specialised molecules called siderophores, which are high affinity and low molecular weight chelating agents that increase the availability of iron for microbial usage.

Experimental Investigation of Nanostructured Tube by Accumulative Tube Bonding as a Novel Severe Plastic Deformation Process

Mohan Ganpatrao Bodkhe, Sanjeev Sharma, Pritam Babu Sharma and Abdel-Hamid Ismail Mourad

A novel severe plastic deformation (SPD) process for manufacturing high strength multilayer tubes titled accumulative tube-bonding (ATB) is proposed in this article. By conducting numerous runs of the ATB process, grain refinement as well as mechanical characteristics were investigated experimentally and numerically.

Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Mentha piperita Extract and Evaluation of Its Antibacterial and Antimigratory Potential on Highly Metastatic Human Breast Cells

Huzaifa Umar, Maryam Rabiu Aliyu and Dilber Uzun Ozsahin

Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe₂O₃NPs) stabilized with Mentha piperita obtained from Cyprus were synthesized. The study focused on exploring the anti-migratory potential, cytotoxicity, anti-proliferative and antimicrobial potential of Fe₂O₃ NPs using wound healing assay, trypan blue, 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and disc diffusion, respectively.

NanoWorld Journal Review Process

Corresponding authors submitting the manuscript must explicitly indicate the specific area of expertise among the five ones published on our website under the Editorial Board by each of the two Associate Editors (AE) and if none of the five Associates is appropriate the author must indicate both under which one of six sectors of NWJ (Energy, Environment, Space, Hardware, Cancer, Science and Society as indicated on Scope and Aims) is falling his/her paper and under which one of the remaining Editorial Board Members (EBM) is falling the expertise for his/her submission. If none of the Editorial Board is indicated, the paper will be submitted by the Managing Editor (ME) to the Editor in Chief (EIC) along with a ranking based on four indicators, namely the number of SCI best articles (10 over 10 deciles) as first author and as last author, the total H-index and the total number of Science Citation Index publications regardless the number of deciles, whereby if this last indicator is zero the paper will not be considered for further review.

Authors have to indicate two referee to be added to the list of experts in the selected fields nominated by ME and AE among the referees assembled and constantly updated in terms of their total H index, patent index, prototypes and total Impact Factor normalized by average number of co-authors and author position. Upon AE and/or EBM and/or referee’s recommendations’ selected papers are finally accepted by the EIC in terms of adherence to the NWJ’s editorial policies for the submitted papers defined in the NWJ Scope, Aims & Topics. These new criteria for measuring excellence called “NWJ Impact Points” are calculated and illustrated in the article “How Bibliometric Indicators Should Be Used to Assess Excellence in Science and Technology” published in 2016 by the EIC Nicolini Claudio.
