A "new generation" journal has been welcomed at the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, publisher of the highly respected, high impact journal
Science.
Science Advances was officially launched last month, as the open access addition to the
Science family of journals. From today's email announcement:
"Science Advances features high quality, peer-reviewed research across the sciences—in an open access, digital-only format. Science Advances welcomes research from all disciplines, providing top-tier peer review, expert editing, and rapid publication—all for one low fee."
It is an exciting move for
Science and the AAAS, and the first bevy of articles are tantalizing in both content and ease of access. This random sample of summation statements taken from the website hints at the diversity of research areas that are and will be represented in the new journal.
Take a look!
