The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the non-profit publisher of the Science family of journals, has announced that the first journal in its Science Partner Journal program will be Research, the official journal of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST). Research will be distributed by AAAS in association with Science and Technology Review Publishing House, the official publishing house of CAST.
Research will be a wide-ranging interdisciplinary journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed content reflecting new and innovative discoveries and important issues in engineering and applied sciences. Jiannian Yao, Academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Deputy Director of the Natural Science Foundation of China, will serve as the journal's Editor-in-Chief (China). Dr. Tianhong Cui, Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University of Minnesota, will be the journal's Editor-in-Chief (International).
The editorial office for Research will open for submissions in March 2018 and the journal will officially launch in June 2018. Research will publish under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY), meaning that content will be freely available to all readers upon publication. Additional information about the journal, prior to the Research website going live and opening for submissions, will be available on the Science Partner Journal program homepage: www.sciencepartnerjournals.org.
New titles participating in the Science Partner Journal program will launch on a semi-annual basis and participation in the program is restricted to English-language publications. AAAS is actively seeking new partners across scientific disciplines. Organisations participating in the Science Partner Journal program will be editorially independent and responsible for the content published in each journal. To oversee the publication process, each organisation will provide professional editors committed to best practices in peer review and author service.
