The universe is an amazing place. It is vaster than it is possible to measure, stranger and more magical than any science fiction or fantasy, more beautiful than any art, and far more complex than can ever be imagined. Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure. Life sciences have changed enormously: new disciplines, such as genomic and metabolomic technologies, have revolutionized the descriptive and normative power wielded by these disciplines. Technological developments accompanied by new scientific approaches and positions make the daily practices in the laboratories of the life sciences radically different from life science practices before these developments. New organizations of scientific work emerge, and this has a deep social and normative impact. In these new life science approaches and practices, new norms and values are incorporated which are significantly different from the earlier forms of life science practices.

Frequency: Bi-annual

Aims & Scope

Science Heritage Journal (GWS) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed publication that spans the full breadth of life sciences. It serves as a global platform for the dissemination of research across the entire spectrum of biology. GWS accepts a variety of article types, including original research, reviews, rapid communications, data notes, and commentaries. The journal welcomes submissions of both positive and negative results, as well as replication studies. Proposals for themed collections are also encouraged.

GWS supports the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and actively promotes research aligned with its Sustainable Development Goals—particularly Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), Goal 14 (Life Below Water), and Goal 15 (Life on Land). GWS welcome submissions providing insights or data related to any, or multiple, of the following sections:

Agricultural and Plant Sciences – encompassing agriculture, crop science, and plant biology
Aquatic and Marine Biology – including aquaculture and marine ecosystems
Molecular and Cellular Biology – covering biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology
Biotechnology and Bioengineering – focusing on innovative technologies and applications in biological systems
Computational and Systems Biology – including bioinformatics, computational life sciences, and systems biology
Genetics and Genomics – from classical genetics to modern genomic and epigenomic studies
Microbiology and Infectious Diseases – involving the study of microorganisms and their health impacts
Pharmacology and Therapeutics – including pharmaceutics, drug discovery, and translational medicine
Environmental Health and Toxicology – examining environmental factors affecting biological systems
Cancer Biology – exploring molecular mechanisms, diagnostics, and therapies
Epidemiology and Public Health – with a focus on population-level health data and trends
Physiology and Biomedical Sciences – including translational physiology and related biomedical research
