Criteria for Publication
Our goal is to publish research done well. This means we look for research that adds to the academic record, either as novel or corroborative evidence, and adheres to ethical standards, uses robust methodologies that are transparent and reproducible, and uses appropriate statistical analyses to ensure clear, credible, and trustworthy results. Science Progress evaluates manuscripts based on how the research was conducted and reported.
-
All manuscripts:
-
are subject to single-blind peer review (comments from at least two external peer reviewers).
-
must follow our publishing policies.
-
The journal will explore innovations within journal publishing, offering process options such as the Transparency and Openness Promotion guidelines and other open-science initiatives, to provide authors with the best home for their research.
Scope
The Editors are looking for scientific research, suitable for a global audience, which falls into one of our 10 subject areas, that adds to the existing literature either as novel or corroborative evidence. We will consider replication studies and negative/null results studies.
We welcome manuscripts across the main scientific areas: Agricultural Science, Applied Mathematics, Biology & Life Sciences, Chemistry, Computer & Information Sciences, Earth Sciences, Ecology & Environmental Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Medicine & Health Sciences, Physics, Science Policy.
We publish original clinical research (randomized controlled trials, observational studies) and preclinical research (in vitro studies, animal studies, in silico studies), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, narrative reviews, and case reports/series.
We do not publish the following research:
- Social Sciences: Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics, Geography, History, Law, Linguistics, Politics, Psychology and Sociology
- Alternative and complementary medicine
- Bioinformatics without clinical, in vitro, or in vivo validation
- In silico research without supporting evidence of their downstream effects in vivo or in vitro
- Simple database studies, simple bibliometric studies, common cases
- In vitro studies without validation
- Studies with limited international appeal that are more suited for a local or niche journal.
