Scientific journal

Cover of the first issue of Nature (4 November 1869)

In academic publishing, a scientific journal is an academic journal that deals with the natural sciences. Scientific journals further the progress of science by disseminating new research findings to the scientific community.[1] Such journals serve as a platform for researchers, scholars, and scientists to share their latest discoveries, insights, and methodologies across a multitude of scientific disciplines.

There are thousands of scientific journals in publication, with scopes ranging from the general sciences, to highly specialized fields.[2][3] These journals publish a variety of articles including original research, reviews, and perspectives, each serving distinct purposes in academia. The advent of electronic publishing has made scientific journals more accessible.
