Journal of Alloys and Compounds

The journal was established by William Hume-Rothery in 1958 as the Journal of the Less-Common Metals, The journal was not strictly limited to articles about those specific elements: it also included papers about the preparation and use of other elements and alloys. It was the first journal dealing specifically with a category of inorganic elements. The journal obtained its current name in 1991 and is considered a particularly rich source of information on hydrogen-metal systems. ==Retractions==
