Outreach programme
We are passionate about having open communication with our authors and the scientific community. We operate a flexible and adaptable programme of outreach events across a variety of topics in scientific publishing, including promoting publishing agreements to researchers. For more details and to find out how to get in touch, please visit our outreach page.
Author resources
The Royal Society’s mission is to recognise, promote, and support excellence in science and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity and the good of the planet. We are committed to high quality, open and ethical publishing.
To make publishing with us as straightforward as possible, we have a range of author resources and guides.
Additionally, our author journeys below highlight the simple steps from submission to publication for open access papers:
