and defect engineering. Invited papers occasionally appear in the journal which provide information that encompasses significant progress and analysis of future trends in the various interdisciplinary sub-fields.

The focus of the journal is further enlarged by publishing papers regarding a variety of aspects which concern electrocermaics. These aspects are presented as modeling, properties, structure, characterization, processing, and performance of electrocermaic materials. (See main article: Electroceramics
