Texture, Stress, and Microstructure is a multidisciplinary, international journal that provides a medium for communicating works from the closely linked Quantitative Texture Analysis (QTA), Residual Strain-Stress Determination (QSA), and Microstructure (QMA) scientific communities. It is devoted to materials scientists, metallurgists, mineralogists, geologists, crystallographers, life scientists, and engineers of various disciplines who have an interest in the textures, stresses, and microstructures of crystalline or semi-crystalline solids of any kind.

The journal publishes fundamental as well as applied papers and short communications from all fields of science needing polycrystal investigation using scattering of rays, original research that contributes to the understanding of texture, stress, and microstructure development. In addition to research papers the journal includes solicited and unsolicited comments on published works and book reviews, laboratory notes and conference proceedings.
