中国高校科技期刊研究会第9次会员代表大会在北京召开，中宣部出版局副局长张怀海、教育部科学技术与信息化司一级巡视员张国辉等领导出席会议并发表..
英文简介：Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.中文简介：（来自Google、百度翻译）尽管在粒状材料中观察到的许多现象仍未完全理解，但已经做出了重要贡献，以使用统计力学，微观力学和计算科学中的现代工具来进一步理解我们。 这些现代工具适用于无序系统，相变，不稳定性或间歇性行为以及离散粒子模拟的性能。>> 直到现在，这些结果中的许多仅散布在整个文献中。物理学家通常不知道工程师或其他领域发表的理论和结果，反之亦然。 因此，《颗粒物质》杂志是参与颗粒介质基础研究的各个学科的研究人员之间交流的跨学科平台。它有助于建立一种共同的语言，并在一个单一的屋顶下收集文章，到目前为止，这些文章已经散布在各个领域的许多期刊上。尽管如此，高度应用或技术性的工作超出了本期刊的范围。
