Work presented at MSE 2026 can be published two ways, and the two are independent. A formatted extended abstract goes into the Book of Extended Abstracts, which is published as one volume with its own DOI. A full research article goes to the MSE 2026 Special Collection and appears in one of several Wiley journals after that journal's normal peer review.
Neither is mandatory, and submitting to one has no bearing on the other.
Two routes, plus two Special Issues that sit inside the collection. Each card jumps to the details below.
Not peer reviewed
A two- to four-page extended abstract, gathered with the others into one volume with its own DOI.
Peer reviewed
A full research article in one of seven Wiley journals, linked as one virtual collection.
Advanced Engineering Materials
A Special Issue for structural materials, with its own Special Issue name at submission.
Global Challenges
A Special Issue on end-of-life materials and circularity, organised by the symposium guest editors.
A formatted extended abstract of two to four pages, prepared from the official template and uploaded as a PDF.

Authors with an accepted contribution can submit a full research article based on it to a dedicated MSE 2026 Special Collection, run together with selected Wiley journals. The collection gathers MSE-related articles from several journals in one place, so you can pick the title that fits your topic and still appear alongside the rest of the conference.
Further details on suitable journals, submission procedures and timelines go out to authors and topic organizers.
Peer reviewed
Every article goes through the regular peer-review process of the journal it is submitted to.
Seven journals
Choose the Wiley title that suits your topic. All of them feed the same collection.
Grouped and visible
Articles stay linked as one virtual collection, so readers find the conference output together.
You can submit to any of these Wiley journals.
Pick the journal that fits your topic and submit your article through its own system, the same as any other paper.
Mention MSE 2026 in your cover letter.
Confirm during submission that the article is for a Special Issue, and select the name "Special Collection MSE 2026".
Authors from these two parts of the program select a different Special Issue name at submission. Both issues are part of the Special Collection as well.
