Journal of Rheology (JOR)
Journal Descriptions
The Journal of Rheology is a leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research in rheology — the study of how materials deform and flow under force. It is published on behalf of The Society of Rheology (an American professional society founded in 1929) through AIP Publishing / American Institute of Physics (AIP) based in the United States. The journal’s content spans theoretical, experimental, and computational studies of rheological behavior in a wide variety of materials, including polymers, colloids, gels, biological fluids, soft solids, and industrial formulations. It emphasizes mechanistic insights into viscoelasticity, non-Newtonian flows, microstructure–property relationships, and innovative measurement techniques that advance both scientific understanding and technological applications. Articles often deal with shear and extensional rheometry, constitutive modeling, micromechanics of complex fluids, and phenomena such as shear banding, thixotropy, and yield stress behavior. Originally published under different titles in the early 20th century, the modern journal evolved from the Transactions of The Society of Rheology (1957) and was reestablished under its current name in 1977. Today, it issues six volumes per year, each comprising peer-reviewed research papers that are widely cited across physics, materials science, fluid mechanics, and engineering disciplines.
