Journal of Regulatory Science

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Regulatory Science (JRS) is an online open-access journal intended for scholars with an interest in regulatory science. The JRS publishes free of charge, peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts, proposed standard evaluations and rapid communications to advance the discipline of regulatory science. Authors who submit articles for publishing are not charged an submission and/or article processing fees. In addition, readers and subscribers are not charged any fees for accessing the articles published by the JRS. The JRS is devoted to the consideration of risk management tools, standards, and practices to improve the protection and compliance of regulated products. It is the mission of the JRS to facilitate an open dialogue among regulatory scientists from the global community. The JRS follows a continuous publication model, which allows for quicker publication of manuscripts, benefitting both contributors and readers. Each year, beginning in January, articles will be published throughout the year, as soon as they go through the usual peer review and production process. At the end of the year, the issue will be closed, and the next year’s issue will begin again the following January. The scope of the JRS is comprehensive and includes the regulation of food and feed, the environment, drugs, transportation, communications, and other related fields.
