Scope & Editorial Focus
For the avoidance of doubt, The Materials Market Research File (MMRF) is not a scholarly resource, unlike other materials related information services. Listed titles are business-focused and provide access to materials market research, not materials science research.
Titles are selected based on a fairly wide interpretation of materials. For instance, the category Elastomers & Rubbers includes reports on tires and Coatings Materials include also titles relating to printing ink. Equally, we have included market research in other areas outside mainstream materials coverage, such as Automotive Interiors, Plastics and Metal Packaging, Technical Textiles or Displays. Individual categories covered can be viewed by clicking on the headings in the menu of subject areas on the front page.
Research Types
Titles include a diverse range of research types. These can conveniently be sorted according to one-time reports, periodic reports - such as newsletters and subscription services -, directories etc. We are increasingly including market oriented, non-academic conference proceedings (eg Outlook for Carbon Fibre, The Japanese Steel Industry and Its Strategy) and handbooks (eg Handbook of PVC Pipe: Design and Construction, Stretch Blow Moulding: A Hands-on Guide).
Users will also find a feature that provides access to the highlights of the Current Issue and the latest Editorial Calendar of the top trade magazines in each category.
