About the journal

About the Journal of Current Scientific Research

Journal of Current Scientific Research (JCSR) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by Open Access Pub. It considers meaningful research across all scientific disciplines, with evidence and reporting appropriate to the contribution.

This page explains what the journal is, why it publishes across several fields at once, who it is for, and what governs the work it accepts. The rules themselves are set out on the pages linked from each section.

What the journal is

Identity

JCSR is a general-science journal. It is not organized around a single subject, a single method or a single community of readers, and that is a deliberate editorial position rather than the absence of one.

A journal that publishes in one field can rely on its subject to say what it wants. A journal that publishes across several has to say it another way, and JCSR says it through what it asks of a report. A study of acid degradation in a fiber-reinforced composite and a study of tactile feedback in precision grasping share neither literature nor instruments. Both can be assessed for a clear scientific purpose, transparent methods or reasoning, evidence appropriate to the claims, and explicit limitations. The same principles support theoretical, computational, qualitative and exploratory work; laboratory measurements are not required of every manuscript.

Scientific and ethical standards remain consistent across fields. Their application depends on the study type and the expertise required to assess it.

Field I

Physical and chemical sciences

Synthesis, characterization, spectroscopy, materials behavior

Field II

Biological and health sciences

Laboratory, clinical and population studies

Field III

Engineering and technology

Devices, processes, computation and applied systems

Field IV

Environmental and earth sciences

Field measurement, monitoring, modeling and interpretation

One assessment

  • A clear scientific question or purpose, with exploratory work identified
  • Methods, assumptions or scholarly reasoning documented for assessment
  • Evidence and validation appropriate to the contribution and claims
  • Limits set by the authors, not left for the reader to discover
  • Ethical approval, competing interests and data availability declared

Illustrative fields, shared scientific standards. The examples do not limit eligible disciplines; assessment and expertise are matched to the manuscript.

Where suitability is explained

This page describes the journal's editorial position. The discipline-open scope, evidence standards, responsible assessment requirements and accepted article types are set out on Aims and Scope.

Publication began

JCSR has been publishing since 2020. The complete record is listed in the Archive.

Why it exists

Purpose

Research does not always arrive in the shape a subject journal expects. A measurement technique developed for one material turns out to matter for another; a modeling approach built for one system answers a question in a different one; a study is methodologically sound and useful but belongs to no single established literature. JCSR exists to publish that work, and to publish it under the same conditions as anything else.

The journal accepts fundamental and applied work equally. It publishes methods and protocols, validation and replication studies, and results that did not confirm the expected outcome, on the same terms as new findings, provided the method is sound and the reporting is complete. A result is not more publishable here for being unusual for the journal, and not disadvantaged because it comes from an established field.

Where a submission sits between disciplines, the editors look for the argument to be legible to a reader trained in the neighboring one. Interdisciplinary work should explain how its fields connect; a single-discipline study is equally eligible.

Who it is for

Readers and authors

JCSR is written for researchers who need to read outside their own subfield and for authors whose work is best judged on how it was done. The groups below are illustrative, not exhaustive. Physics, mathematics and statistics, astronomy and astrophysics, materials science, social and behavioral sciences, and other scientific disciplines are also eligible. The complete suitability criteria are on Aims and Scope.

  • Example I

    Physical and chemical sciences

    Applied chemistry and materials synthesis, analytical chemistry and chemometrics, nanomaterials, physical chemistry and spectroscopy, polymer and surface chemistry, computational chemistry and molecular modeling.

  • Example II

    Biological and health sciences

    Molecular biology and genetics, microbiology and virology, cell biology and biochemistry, biomedical and clinical research, pharmacology and drug development, public health and epidemiology.

  • Example III

    Engineering and technology

    Mechanical and civil engineering, chemical and industrial process engineering, electronics and communication systems, computer science and software engineering, machine learning and applied artificial intelligence, robotics and automation.

  • Example IV

    Environmental and earth sciences

    Ecology and biodiversity conservation, environmental monitoring and remediation, climate and atmospheric science, soil science and agricultural sustainability, water resources and hydrology, ecotoxicology and risk assessment.

Alongside these, the journal publishes interdisciplinary research, applied clinical sciences, methodological innovations, and agricultural and food sciences, whether the contribution is disciplinary or interdisciplinary.

How breadth is governed

Editorial model

Breadth places the obligation on the editors rather than on the reader. A journal that accepts work from several fields has to be able to show, for any one manuscript, that it reached someone competent to judge it.

All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. The journal must arrange both competent editorial handling and qualified independent review. An editor does not handle a subject outside their competence merely because external reviewers can be recruited. Members of the editorial board are listed in full, with their affiliation, expertise and ORCID iD, on the Editorial Board page, so a prospective author can see for themselves who covers which subject.

Peer review: Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts. Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal.

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions are taken by the handling editor on the reviewers' assessments. The article processing charge is raised only after a manuscript has been accepted, and payment plays no part in whether a manuscript is accepted, in how quickly it is handled, or in which reviewers are appointed. Authors, editors and reviewers declare competing interests, and an editor with an interest in a submission is replaced for that manuscript.

Preparing a submission

Manuscript limits, formats, reference styles, reporting-guideline requirements and the submission checklist are set out in the Instructions for Authors.

Submitting

Manuscripts are received through ManuscriptZone, the journal's submission portal. The approved submission routes and the terms that apply to each are on Submit Manuscript.

Charges

An article processing charge applies after acceptance. There is no submission fee and no peer-review fee. The current rates and the full terms are on Article Processing Charges.

Identification

Registered articles carry a Crossref DOI under the prefix 10.14302, and the journal is registered with the ISSN International Centre under ISSN 2766-8681. Editors and authors are displayed with their ORCID iD where one has been supplied.

Indexing

Research integrity

Submissions are screened with Crossref Similarity Check, powered by iThenticate. Authorship, competing interests, ethical approval and data availability are declared at submission, and suspected misconduct is handled through the journal's published procedure.

Editorial Policies

The version of record

Corrections and retractions are issued when they are needed and are linked to the original record, so the published version and its subsequent history can both be found from the same identifier.
