Dear Dr. Appel,

We are currently running a Special Issue entitled "Advances in Zr-Based Alloys", which will be published in the journal Crystals (ISSN 2073-4352; IF: 2.589). On behalf of our Guest Editors, Prof. Dr. Jun Tan and Dr. Quan Dong, we would like to invite you to submit a research article, review, short communication or perspective to this Special Issue, with a CHF 300 discount on the publication fee.

Special Issue: Advances in Zr-Based Alloys
Guest Editors: Prof. Dr. Jun Tan and Dr. Quan Dong
Submission deadline: 30 September 2022
Website: https://www.mdpi.com/si/crystals/Zr_alloys

If more than 10 papers are published in this Special Issue, we will establish a Best Paper Award, and the winner of this award will receive the opportunity to publish a future paper, free of charge, in our journal.

Papers can be submitted at any time prior to the deadline, as they will be published on an ongoing basis.

Publishing in Crystals has the following benefits:
- Coverage by Scopus and Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), with an impact factor of 2.589;
- Open access (unlimited and free access by readers—MDPI’s journals currently receive 10.2 million webpage views monthly);
- Thorough peer-review process (at least two review reports will be collected for each paper);
- Fast manuscript handling time—a first decision will be provided to authors approximately 13 days following their submission, and the average processing time (from submission to publication) is around 29 days;
- Immediate publication upon acceptance;
- High publicity and more frequent citations;
- No space constraints (no restriction on the length of the papers; electronic files can be deposited as supplementary material).

As Crystals is an open access journal, an article processing charge (APC) of CHF 2000 currently applies to each paper that is accepted. The voucher granted to you as part of our personal invitation can be used to partly cover this fee.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could inform us, at your earliest convenience, whether you would be interested in accepting our invitation. Please note that the voucher code must be applied by us in advance in order for you to receive your discount.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Aries Gan
Assistant Editor
