The South African Journal of Science is a multidisciplinary journal published bimonthly by the Academy of Science of South Africa. Our mandate is to publish original research with an interdisciplinary or regional focus, which will interest readers from more than one discipline, and to provide a forum for discussion of news and developments in research and higher education. Authors are requested to write their papers and reports in a manner and style that is intelligible to specialists and non-specialists alike. Research contributions, which are peer reviewed, are of three kinds: Review Articles, Research Articles and Research Letters. The format for all of these categories is, of necessity, relatively brief compared with that of more specialised journals: details can be found in the guidelines to authors.

《南非科學雜志》是南非科學院雙月刊的多學科期刊。我們的使命是發表跨學科或區域性的原創研究，吸引來自多個學科的讀者，并提供一個討論新聞和研究及高等教育發展的論壇。要求作者以專家和非專家都能理解的方式和風格撰寫論文和報告。由同行評審的研究貢獻有三種:評審文章、研究文章和研究信函。與更專業的期刊相比，所有這些類別的格式都必須相對簡短:詳情可以在作者指南中找到。
