Scope

The journal's stated aim is to publish impactful research papers and reviews in any area of science, in both disciplinary-specific and broad interdisciplinary areas, with its official scope covering:刊物官方宗旨为发表任何科学领域的高影响力研究论文与综述，既包括特定学科也包括广泛的跨学科领域，官方声明的征稿范围包括：

• Physical and materials sciences: research in physics, chemistry, materials science, astronomy, and earth sciences, including work at the interfaces between these disciplines.物理与材料科学： 物理学、化学、材料科学、天文学与地球科学领域的研究，包括这些学科交界处的工作。
• Life and biomedical sciences: research in biology, biochemistry, genetics, neuroscience, immunology, and biomedical sciences, spanning from molecular mechanisms to organismal and systems-level understanding.生命与生物医学科学： 生物学、生物化学、遗传学、神经科学、免疫学与生物医学科学领域的研究，涵盖从分子机制到生物体与系统层面的理解。
• Social and interdisciplinary sciences: research in the social sciences, public health, economics, and interdisciplinary areas that bridge the natural and social sciences, including sustainability and global change.社会与跨学科科学： 社会科学、公共卫生、经济学以及衔接自然科学与社会科学的跨学科领域研究，包括可持续性与全球变化等方向。
• Engineering and applied sciences: research in engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics, including work that addresses societal challenges through technological innovation.工程与应用科学： 工程学、计算机科学与应用数学领域的研究，包括通过技术创新应对社会挑战的工作。
• Article types: original research articles, review articles, and perspectives, with an emphasis on work that advances fundamental understanding or addresses significant real-world problems across disciplinary boundaries.栏目设置： 接受原创研究论文、综述与观点文章，强调能推动基础理解或跨越学科边界解决重大现实问题的工作。

History

• Founding: the journal was announced by the American Association for the Advancement of Science in February 2014, with the first articles published in early 2015 as the fourth peer-reviewed journal in the Science family, positioned as the family's open access, broad-scope title.创刊： 该刊 2014 年 2 月由美国科学促进会宣布创立，首批文章于 2015 年初发表，是《科学》系列的第四份同行评审期刊，定位为系列中的开放获取宽口径刊物。
• Largest Science family journal: in 2019 Science Advances surpassed Science Magazine in the number of monthly submissions, becoming the largest member of the Science family of journals. It is also the only member of that family in which all published papers are gold open access.Science 家族最大刊： 2019 年该刊月度投稿量超过《科学》杂志，成为《科学》系列中规模最大的成员刊；它也是该系列中唯一所有论文均为金色开放获取的期刊。
• Editorial model: unlike other members of the Science family, editors at Science Advances are working scientists rather than in-house professional editors, with editorial decisions made by a board divided into topical areas and led by deputy editors.编辑模式： 与《科学》系列其他期刊不同，该刊的编辑均为在职科学家而非内部专职编辑，编辑决定由按主题划分的编委会做出，各主题由副编辑领导。
• Open access policy: at launch the journal adopted a default CC BY-NC license, which was criticised by open access advocates who preferred the more permissive CC BY license. The journal subsequently moved to CC BY as its default open access license.开放获取政策： 创刊时该刊默认采用 CC BY-NC 许可协议，这一做法受到开放获取倡导者批评，他们更倾向于使用限制更少的 CC BY 协议；该刊随后将 CC BY 设为默认开放获取许可协议。
• Sectional reorganisation: in 2024 the journal reorganised its editorial structure by promoting senior board members into executive roles for each of its sections, strengthening disciplinary leadership across the physical, life, social, and interdisciplinary sciences.分栏重组： 2024 年该刊重组编辑架构，将资深编委提拔为各分栏的执行编辑，强化了物理、生命、社会与跨学科科学等方向的学科领导。

Editors

The journal is led by the editor-in-chief of the Science journals together with a team of section executives, deputy editors, and associate editors, supported by in-house professional editorial staff:该刊由《科学》系列期刊的主编领导，并设有分栏执行编辑、副编辑与编委团队，内部专业编辑人员提供支持：

• Editor-in-chief: Holden Thorp, PhD, who also serves as editor-in-chief of the Science family of journals. He is a chemist and former chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with research experience in inorganic chemistry and renewable energy.主编： 霍尔登·索普（Holden Thorp），哲学博士，同时担任《科学》系列期刊主编；他是化学家，曾任北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校校长，研究方向为无机化学与可再生能源。
• Section executives: five section executives lead the journal's major disciplinary areas, including Ilya Kuprov for physical and materials science, Douglas Erwin for earth and environmental sciences, Tali Sharot for neurosciences, and Jennifer Earl for social and interdisciplinary sciences and public health.分栏执行编辑： 五位分栏执行编辑领导刊物的主要学科方向，包括负责物理与材料科学的伊利亚·库普罗夫（Ilya Kuprov）、负责地球与环境科学的道格拉斯·欧文（Douglas Erwin）、负责神经科学的塔利·沙罗特（Tali Sharot）以及负责社会与跨学科科学和公共卫生的珍妮弗·厄尔（Jennifer Earl）。
• Review model: submissions are first evaluated by an in-house editor and an appropriate academic associate editor for fit and novelty, and those that pass are sent for external peer review before a final editorial decision is made.评审模式： 投稿先由内部编辑与相应的学术副编辑评估适配性与新颖性，通过者送外部同行评审后再做最终编辑决定。
