Science Advances is apeer-reviewedmultidisciplinaryopen-accessscientific journal established in early 2015 and published by theAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science. The journal's scope includes all areas of science.
The journal was announced by theAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science in February 2014, and the first articles were published in early 2015.[1][2][3] In 2019,Science Advances surpassedScience Magazine in the number of monthly submissions, becoming the largest member in the Science family of journals. It is the only member of that family where all papers aregold open access.
The journal's scope includes all areas of science, includinglife sciences,public health,neurosciences,physical sciences,social sciences,computer sciences,environmental sciences, andspace sciences.[4] Editorial decisions are made by theeditorial board. The board is divided into topical areas, each led by a deputy editor and composed of a group of associate editors.[5] Unlike other members of the Science family of journals published byAAAS, editors atScience Advances are working scientists.
All content published in the journal is freely accessible to readers. When the journal was launched, its policy of using a default open license which does not permit commercial usage (CC NC-BY) was criticized by open access advocates, who preferred the less restrictive license that allows any use as long as attribution is provided (CC BY).[6][7][8][9]
