Aim & Scope

Aim

Reports in Science and Applied Research provides a peer-reviewed venue for science and applied research. The journal is intended for applied scientists, interdisciplinary research groups, early-stage project teams, and methods-oriented readers. Its editorial goal is to publish articles that make the research question, method, evidence, and limitations visible enough for readers to evaluate and reuse.

Core Scope

The journal considers manuscripts in the following areas:

  • Original studies in applied research with transparent assumptions and evaluable evidence.
  • Research on interdisciplinary methods that explains methods, data, and interpretation limits.
  • Applied work involving experimental reports where practical relevance is supported by analysis rather than assertion.
  • Interdisciplinary work connecting research notes to adjacent scientific, engineering, health, environmental, social, or policy questions.

Article Types Considered

The journal may consider brief reports, technical notes, replication studies, data notes, methods papers, and integrative reviews. Article type should be selected according to the main contribution, not according to desired length or perceived prestige.

Method and Evidence Expectations

For this field, manuscripts should pay particular attention to:

  • problem and application context
  • method transparency
  • evidence sufficiency
  • replicability
  • limitations

Out of Scope

The journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely promotional, lack a research question, duplicate previously published work, make unsupported clinical or policy claims, present unverifiable results, or fall outside science and applied research. Manuscripts that are technically sound but do not fit the journal's subject identity may be returned before peer review.

Editorial Standard

The journal does not require spectacular novelty. It requires a clear contribution, appropriate citations, transparent methods, relevant ethical approvals where needed, and a limitations section. Reviewers and editors should ask whether the work is trustworthy and useful for its intended readership.
