Facets

Scope

FACETS is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary open access science journal that primarily features research articles, but will also include review articles, communications, notes, perspectives, editorials, and science applications forum papers. FACETS currently focuses on seven research areas. Although not officially covering Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) topics, the Integrative Sciences section includes intersections of science and the social sciences. Additional subject categories will be added as the journal evolves in conjunction with emerging scientific advances. As a benefit of online publishing, papers are aggregated by subject areas rather than into the usual volume/issue format, making the best use of online technology to improve discovery of related content. Finally, new and emerging fields can be easily added without the delays caused by developing and setting up a new online publishing platform. FACETS will publish manuscripts in English or French. French abstracts will be translated into English.
