Why publish with Scientia
Scientia: Connecting science and society
We believe that it is crucial to connect science and society. By making science more accessible, we can enable more understanding, participation, collaboration, and support.
Scientia is an outreach publication that helps researchers communicate their research to a broad and diverse audience. We do this by translating scientific jargon into clear and concise language that anyone can understand. We also focus on making our articles visually appealing and engaging, so that they catch people’s eye and inspire them to learn more.
We do not want to change or challenge the traditional peer-reviewed scholarly publishing format. Instead, we aim to complement this accepted form of dissemination. In doing so, we not only help researchers communicate their research to their own scientific community, but also to a wider audience, including the tax-paying public who may have funded the research. This can help to establish future research collaborations and develop direct stakeholder participation.
Scientia is fully open access, meaning that it is completely free and open to everyone to read. This allows us to reach as many people as possible with our research, regardless of their background or level of education.
We believe that science is for everyone, and we are committed to making it accessible to all.
What is Sci-comm
Science communication, or ‘sci-comm’ as it is affectionately known, is a young field with growing importance. Sci-comm is the practice of informing, educating, and raising awareness of science-related topics. This often refers to communicating to non-specialists, as opposed to expert-to-expert communication associated with scientific publishing.
Think of it like the latest gadget or phone. The hard work is done in development, and then you have a big release day to launch your new product. However, it does not stop there – you need to constantly market your product so that more people become aware of it. This helps you to secure funding for future projects, while also building an audience who can’t wait for your new product. Research is exactly the same: you have done the hard work; now you need to make sure as many people as possible hear about it. This starts when you publish that first paper; now you need to draw attention to your work and build an interested community who can support your efforts.
Dissemination and Audience
We assign a DOI to each article, and authorship is assigned to the profiled researcher of each article, for ease of referencing and searching. This allows the article’s impact to extend well beyond our own communication channels and reach.
All articles are published and printed in our publication and are available individually in our digital repository library on scientia.global. They can be read, downloaded, and shared by any visitor to the site.
Editorial process
Where we are very different to traditional science publishing and other forms of ‘outreach’ publishing is that we actually write, edit, design, publish, and disseminate each article. We are not just a publisher; we are a professional science communication and editorial service for those wanting to present their research to a general audience.
Each article is written and designed by our team of skilled science writers and communicators. Our writers work to present the research in the most accessible way, so that people from all different backgrounds can understand its significance. Our team will work with you to produce an article that you are 100% confident in before publishing.
Editorial package and associated cost
Like many open access publishers, we do not generate revenue from selling subscriptions. Instead, we make all articles we publish freely available. Unlike scholarly open access publishers, we do not have an Article Processing Charge just to accept and publish your work. Our cost covers the full production from writing to design through to hosting, archiving and disseminating your article. This should not be compared to an open access fee or an article processing charge, this is a TOTAL cost that covers the full service we offer, we do so much more than just publish your work.
