About the Journal
Scientific Culture is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open access international scientific journal, an open information vehicle for an academic community with global coverage and issues touching global interest. Scientific Culture publishes original papers that address the application of the natural sciences to solve, document, interpret, and disseminate cultural heritage topics and policy.
The Scientific Culture considers the interdisciplinarity between the natural sciences (with its specialized fields), history of science and cultural heritage (material culture, or tangible heritage, and intangible heritage), which in turn reflects the level, of evolution, and development of past civilizations.
Scientific Culture aims to provide insight and a vehicle for the major natural sciences to contribute to cultural heritage and archaeology. Scientific Culture covers the chronological frame of the human past from the Paleolithic to the Age of Enlightenment (excludes modern times, but may consider exceptionally interesting industrial archaeology articles).
The journal welcomes submissions that seek to form intellectual bridges within and between the two disciplines. The top priority is innovation in applications and basic research, and policy papers targeting development & sustainability. Case studies, reviews, and book reviews are most welcome. The objective is to serve the academic community with the highest quality and speed as a non-profit.
The journal is published three (3) times a year (January, May, and September) in printed and online versions. The official language is English. Papers should be between 3000-5000 words of text for main research articles, 1500-3000 words of text for case studies; 5000-10,000 words of text for reviews. Each submitted manuscript will be reviewed by (at least) two anonymous peer reviewers. These reviews will help the editors and editor-in-chief reach a final decision about whether a manuscript should be accepted for publication. Page charges and publication fees are not levied upon authors. For rapid reviews, authors should contact the Editor-in-Chief.
Publication fees are applied to cover the cost of processing and open access publication of 300 Euros. For Rapid Reviews (decision within 10 days of submission) and online publication within 1 month after acceptance, authors should contact the Editor-in-Chief.
