Community Science welcomes a range of academic style-papers, opinion pieces, and commentaries. All contributions should be accessible and meaningful to people from a wide range of professional, educational, and cultural backgrounds. All articles should follow leading authorship guidelines, have community leadership or co-leadership, approval of all authors to be listed, and include an abstract, plain-language summary, and references.
Articles submitted to Community Science will be reviewed for scientific integrity, community leadership or co-leadership, ethical community engagement, and community outcome. Submissions will generally be reviewed by both scientists and community leaders before being accepted.

Plain-Language Summary. Plain-language summaries are published alongside a paper’s scientific abstract and are a great way to communicate your work to a broader audience. Here we offer guidelines on how to write a good plain-language summary and showcase some good examples.
