Why Publish with SCS Journals?

Advancing Artificial Intelligence Across Disciplines

SCS Journals is a new scholarly publisher dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence within individual disciplines while exploring the intersections where innovation, collaboration and new ideas emerge.

Our journals provide a home for rigorous scholarship that examines not only the technical development of AI, but also its implications for policy, governance, ethics and professional practice.

Our Publishing Philosophy

Every SCS Journal is built around three connected pillars:

Research

We publish high-quality quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research that advances understanding of artificial intelligence within its discipline.

Policy

We welcome scholarship that informs institutional, national and international policy, helping bridge the gap between research and decision-making.

Ethics

Artificial intelligence cannot be separated from its ethical implications. We encourage critical discussion around responsible innovation, governance, transparency, fairness and accountability.

Together, these three pillars create richer scholarly conversations than traditional discipline-focused publishing alone.

Publish the Complete Research Record

Important research is not limited to statistically significant findings.

SCS Journals encourages greater transparency by recognising the value of:

  • null and negative findings
  • replication studies
  • methodological advances
  • implementation challenges
  • qualitative insights
  • lessons learned during the research process.

Publishing these contributions strengthens the evidence base and supports research integrity across disciplines.

Our Dual Publication Model

Where appropriate, authors may submit two complementary articles arising from the same programme of research.

Research Article

Present validated findings, methodology and scholarly contribution.

Research Journey Article

Document null results, methodological learning, qualitative reflections, implementation experiences or other valuable insights generated throughout the research process.

Together, these articles provide a richer and more complete scholarly record while reducing publication bias.

Interdisciplinary by Design

Artificial intelligence rarely operates within disciplinary boundaries.

Our journals actively encourage submissions that explore the intersections between AI and neighbouring fields, creating opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and sectors.

Whether your work sits firmly within a single discipline or spans multiple domains, SCS Journals provides a platform for meaningful scholarly dialogue.

Transparent Publishing

We believe authors should know exactly what to expect.

  • Open Access publishing
  • Transparent APCs
  • Independent double anonymised peer review
  • Constructive reviewer feedback
  • Ethical editorial decision-making
  • DOI allocation for every article
  • Clear editorial policies

Our commitment is to openness, fairness and academic integrity throughout the publishing process.
