Aims and scope

Discover Applied Sciences (formerly SN Applied Sciences) is a fully open access (OA) journal. All content published in the journal is published under an open access licence, and freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse.

It is a multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal for the disciplines of Applied Life Sciences, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Materials Science and Physics, fostering sound scientific discovery to solve practical problems. The journal encourages quality, scientifically valid, original research which presents a good understanding of scientific knowledge, experiments and theories, methods and techniques, as well as interdisciplinary linkages.

The Applied Life Sciences section of Discover Applied Sciences aims to publish relevant articles that focus on modern applications of life sciences research in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Health Sciences, Physics, Engineering and Environmental Sciences. We are particularly interested in applied research that makes significant scientific and societal contributions across the broad spectrum of life sciences.
