Scope/Description:

Royal Society Open Science is a new open journal publishing high-quality original research across the entire range of science on the basis of objective peer-review. The journal covers the entire range of science and mathematics and allows the Society to publish all the high-quality work it receives without the usual restrictions on scope, length or impact. The journal has a number of distinguishing features: objective peer-review (publishing all articles which are scientifically sound and useful to the community), makes the reviewer reports, decision letter and associated author responses accessible alongside published articles, with referees having the option to sign their reports, articles embody open data principles, each article has a suite of article level metrics and we encourage post-publication comments the Editorial team consists entirely of practising scientists and draws upon the expertise of the Royal Society’s Fellowship, in addition to direct submissions, it accepts for consideration articles referred from other Royal Society journals. Royal Society Open Science welcomes the submission of all high-quality science including articles which may usually be difficult to publish elsewhere, for example, those that include negative findings. The journal covers life sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, engineering and computer science.
