Surface and Interface Analysis

Surface and Interface Analysis is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published in the United Kingdom since 1979 by John Wiley & Sons. In thirteen issues per year, it publishes original research papers dealing with the development and application of techniques for the characterization of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. It is available both online and in print.

The current Editor-in-Chief is John F. Watts from the University of Surrey, UK.^[1]
