SN Applied Sciences is now a fully open access journal and accepted for indexing in SCOPUS!

As of January 2021 SN Applied Sciences has become a fully open access (OA) journal. This means that all content published in the journal is published under an open access license, and freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse. SN Applied Sciences will only be accepting articles for publication via the immediate OA route.

See the full announcement by navigating to the Journal Updates section via the SN Applied Sciences homepage or by using the following website address: https://www.springer.com/journal/42452/updates/1864048

SN Applied Sciences is a multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal for the disciplines of Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Materials Science and Physics. It fosters sound scientific discovery to solve practical problems. The journal encourages quality, scientifically valid, original articles which present a good understanding of scientific knowledge, experiments and theories, methods and techniques, as well as interdisciplinary linkages. It welcomes research articles, review papers, case studies, and short communications. SN Applied Sciences offers Topical Collections designed to consolidate publications of a specific research topic. Articles can be either released as direct papers or within a Topical Collection.

Content will be accessible for free in the first two years.

• No colour or page charges, free to submit, free to access for the first two publication years
• Fosters strong international interdisciplinary applied science content to a wide readership
• Presents sound science discovery to solve practical problems in an innovative way
• Rapid publication of articles with high visibility
• Article-level metrics to track the impact of your work 

Opportunities for you or your organization to partner with the Journal and enjoy planning and publishing Topical Collections in hot areas of research, without the pressure of publishing a fully-fledged journal
