# Science Robotics (science-robotics)

## Journal positioning

Science Robotics is an AAAS journal dedicated to robotics research with demonstrated capability and broad scientific or societal significance. It occupies a position analogous to other Science-family specialty journals: the bar is not incremental technical improvement in a niche robotic system but a result that shifts what is possible or understood in robotics and is legible to scientists outside the immediate sub-field. Demonstrated performance in realistic or challenging environments — not just simulation — is a recurrent editorial requirement. The readership includes roboticists, engineers, biologists, materials scientists, and clinical researchers who engage with robotics as a tool for scientific discovery or societal benefit.

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 Robotics site and the submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names Science Robotics or Sci Robot as the target venue.
- A robotics paper claims broad significance and demonstrated capability and the author is evaluating AAAS tier versus IEEE or Nature-family alternatives.
- A paper from an adjacent field (materials, biology, medicine) involves a robotic system with field-level significance and needs venue framing.
- The author wants to identify the most common desk-reject risks for this venue.
