# Science (science)

## Journal positioning

Science is the flagship weekly journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and alongside Nature the most broadly read scientific publication in the world. It publishes Research Articles and shorter Reports (re-check current article-type names) judged on whether they represent a major conceptual advance of significance to scientists across multiple disciplines. Science's US institutional identity and AAAS mission give it a particular interest in science with policy relevance, cross-disciplinary methodology, and societal implications — making it slightly more receptive than Nature to social-scientific or interdisciplinary framing when the empirical standard is met. Editorial triage is aggressive: most manuscripts are rejected without external review.

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 AAAS/Science site and the submission portal.

## When to trigger

- The author names Science as the target venue.
- A manuscript has clear cross-disciplinary significance and the author is choosing between Science, Nature, and PNAS.
- A paper has a policy-relevant or societally significant finding and needs framing that fits Science's AAAS mission.
- The author needs Science's desk-reject patterns and credible alternative routing before submitting.
