SLAS Journal News       Watch the Videos

SLAS Discovery and SLAS Technology readers, authors, editors and reviewers are practicing life sciences professionals. They are academic, commercial and government researchers, scientists and engineers who conduct research, and develop and implement new technologies. Together, these journals address the full spectrum of issues that are mission-critical to this important audience, enabling research teams to gain scientific insights; increase productivity; elevate data quality; reduce process cycle times; and enable research and development that otherwise would be impossible.

Both SLAS journals consider previously unpublished, original research and review manuscripts on an ongoing basis from SLAS members and nonmembers. Accepted manuscripts typically publish with a DOI to SLAS Technology Online and SLAS Discovery Online within 30 days, making them immediately searchable and citable.

    SLAS journals are published in partnership with SAGE Publishing.

Tips for Authors

• Free and Easy Opportunities for SLAS Authors:
  • Register for Kudos to explain, enrich and share your published papers, and then measure the impact of your actions. SAGE authors using Kudos in 2013 enjoyed 19% higher downloads of their published work than non-users. More
  • Promote your published paper with a video abstract on YouTube. Video abstracts require relatively little effort or technical expertise and are a compelling way to boost awareness, readership and citations.
  • Protect your scholarly identity by registering for an ORCID unique identifier so editors, funding agencies, publishers and institutions can reliably recognize you in the same way that ISBNs and DOIs identify books and articles.
• 2018 SLAS Author Workshop
• Clinical Chemistry Guide to Scientific Writing (All 14 chapters are available in Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish)
• Nature Masterclasses Scientific Writing and Publishing
• ACS Reviewer Lab (peer review training)
• Publons Academy (peer review training)
• Advice for Published Journal Authors
• Five Good Reasons Your Employer Should Reward You for Publishing
• Editage Insights Blog and Headlines
• SLAS Authors & Reviewers: Safelist SAGE Track
