Published monthly by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), JOM is a technical journal devoted to exploring the many aspects of materials science and engineering.
JOM reports scholarly work that explores the state-of-the-art processing, fabrication, design, and application of metals, ceramics, plastics, composites, and other materials. In pursuing this goal, JOM strives to balance the interests of the laboratory and the marketplace by reporting academic, industrial, and government-sponsored work from around the world.

What does the name JOM mean?
From 1949 through 1988, the journal was named Journal of Metals. With materials systems becoming commonplace and with the journal frequently covering composites, plastics, and other materials, a name change was clearly in order. Thus, a decision was made to institutionalize the shorthand version (JOM) instead of totally confusing the technical community by adopting a new name such as Journal of Materials, Journal of Engineered Materials, or some such variation on a rather limited theme. Note: The name of the journal is pronounced as three separate letters (J-O-M) rather than a single-syllable word ("jom").
