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.

Impact Factor

Impact factor (IF) is a scientometric factor based on the yearly average number of citations on articles published by a particular journal in the last two years. A journal impact factor is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. Find out more: What is a good impact factor?


III. Other Science Influence Indicators

Any impact factor or scientometric indicator alone will not give you the full picture of a science journal. There are also other factors such as H-Index, Self-Citation Ratio, SJR, SNIP, etc. Researchers may also consider the practical aspect of a journal such as publication fees, acceptance rate, review speed.

H-Index

The h-index is an author-level metric that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation impact of the publications of a scientist or scholar. The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications
