The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has announced plans for two new peer-reviewed journals, Science Robotics and Science Immunology. Both are scheduled to begin publishing papers in mid-2016.
The new journals reflect the association's mission to advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world, for the benefit of all people. Publisher Kent Anderson described Science Robotics as an interdisciplinary journal spanning the basic sciences, computer science, and engineering. Science Immunology will encompass all aspects of immunology, featuring studies of the immune system in all organisms, including human and cancer immunology. "Its focus will be primarily on basic research, through preclinical studies and appropriate Phase I trials," Anderson explained.
In addition to its flagship title, the Science family of journals currently includes Science Translational Medicine, Science Signaling, and the open-access journal, Science Advances.
Science Robotics and Science Immunology are expected to publish more than 150 research articles online per year, per journal, on a weekly or biweekly basis, supported by a subscription model. Given the broad scope of Science Robotics, it will be supported by a diverse editorial board working at the direction of an academic editor. Science Immunology will have a staff editor as well as an editorial board.
