A major concern of the journal is recent research findings. Science is also known for science-related news, publication of opinions on science policy and other matters of interest to scientists and others who are concerned with the wide implications of science and technology. Like its competitor, Nature, Science covers the full range of scientific disciplines, but there is special emphasis on the life sciences (because of the expansion of biotechnology and genetics over the past few decades).

Although it is the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, membership in the AAAS is not required to publish in Science. Papers are accepted from authors around the world. Competition to publish in Science is very intense, as a article published in such a highly-cited journal can lead to attention and career advancement for the authors. Less than 10% of articles submitted to the editors are accepted for publication and all research articles are subject to peer review before they appear in the magazine.
