MISSION & STANDARDS

A home for science
that carries forward.

Executable Science is being built as a scholarly publication for research that others can inspect, reproduce, challenge, and extend.

Influence through useful scholarship.

Our ambition is exceptional scientific impact. We give replications, negative results, methods, datasets, and software a place alongside research articles. Editorial decisions should follow the quality and usefulness of the work. Payment must never purchase a favorable scientific finding.

Journal Impact Factor and indexing are external recognitions. No impact factor, DOI registration, indexing status, or preservation arrangement has yet been established for this journal.

Every check has a scope.

Running an author’s code, reproducing a reported result, independently testing a claim, and checking a formal proof answer different questions. Papers will keep those distinctions visible, including failed findings and claims that remain unchecked.

A reproduced simulation supports a result about the specified model. A reproduced data analysis does not authenticate the original measurements. Evidence should make these boundaries easier to understand.

Credit and context that last.

Published versions are designed to retain their own citations, claims, evidence, and reviews. Corrections create new versions. Retractions and other editorial notices preserve a discoverable record explaining what changed.

Version-specific BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON exports are implemented. Public launch additionally requires DOI registration operations, journal identity, accessible full text, preservation arrangements, editorial governance, appeals, and qualified execution and review.

Your work. Your supplied attribution.

We publish author and organization names as supplied, subject to respectful-name guardrails. Pseudonyms and research collectives are welcome. We do not require disclosure of who wrote the paper, whether AI was used, legal identity, institutional email, or an ORCID.

Supplied affiliations and optional identifiers are self-reported. Names must be free of overt profanity, threats, hateful abuse, and executable markup. Reports of abuse or impersonation require contextual editorial handling and an appeal process.
