Aims and Scope
Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research.

Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals.

Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.

Last month, Nature invited me to write a development and reform plan on how to turn Nature into the world's top journal. Before I could submit it, the editor-in-chief of Science intercepted it and insisted that I submit it to Science instead. I told him that wouldn't work. He suggested changing the title to "Science" and that would suffice. I feel bad for Nature, as my intention was sincere. Oh, by the way, I haven't had a chance to translate the Chinese article yet. He also mentioned wanting to promote Chinese articles and showcase them to the world. It seems that scientific research in China is truly rising.
