Feature Papers—Multidisciplinary Sciences 2025

Dear Colleagues,

We are once again excited to announce the fifth edition of our annual Feature Papers Collection here in Sci. As we continue our mission to bridge gaps between diverse scientific disciplines, we are delighted to share with you that Sci recently achieved a CiteScore of 4.5 from SCOPUS, ranking it in Q1 among multidisciplinary journals. We have also updated Sci’s aims and scope (see details) in order to acquire a pending Journal Impact Factor. Thank you for your continued support!

For our 2025 Special Issue, we encourage and seek high-quality contributions that relate to the environment and society. We invite you as an authority in your field to contribute a keynote publication that addresses scientific multi/interdisciplinary problem-solving. These “Feature Papers” will be collected as part of an annual overview of the activities of Sci and will be published in book format once the Special Issue is closed.

Contributions will be immediately visible on Preprints, may undergo public peer review, and will be prominently featured on Sci. Following the close of the Special Issue, selected Feature Papers will be published in a dedicated book, offering another avenue for your research to make a lasting impact.

We look forward to receiving your submissions that align with the scope of Sci’s diverse scientific activities.
