# National Science Review (national-science-review)

## Journal positioning

National Science Review is China's flagship multidisciplinary scientific journal, published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It publishes primary research, reviews, and perspectives across the natural sciences — physics, chemistry, materials, life sciences, earth/environmental science, and engineering — with a particular strength in areas where Chinese research leads globally. NSR occupies a distinctive dual role: it is an internationally peer-reviewed research journal and a venue for authoritative synthetic reviews of fields in which China-based science is making transformative contributions. The readership is global but the editorial perspective explicitly showcases the best of Chinese science alongside internationally sourced excellence.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the OUP/NSR site.

## When to trigger

- The author names National Science Review (or NSR) as the target venue.
- A manuscript from a Chinese institution seeks the highest-visibility broad-science venue that simultaneously serves domestic and international audiences.
- A paper has been rejected from Nature or Science and has significant scope but does not fit a Nature portfolio journal's narrower remit.
- An invited or spontaneous synthetic review covers a field in which China-based research has distinctive depth.
