We bring you the latest from the community of researchers who publish in Findings. Findings is an interdisciplinary, independent, community-led, peer-reviewed, open access journal focused on short, clear, and pointed research results.
You can find us on the socials at: RSS, Mastodon (@FindingsPress@Fediscience.org), BlueSky, LinkedIn (and even X if you must).
We are pleased to note Findings finds itself on the precipice of five years old. In that time we have published 285 articles, which cumulatively have been viewed over 300,000 times. We aim to increase that, so visit our For Authors page and submit an article.
Transport Findings welcomes research findings focusing on the broad field of transport.
Urban Findings welcomes research findings focused around cities and urbanization. The core focus is on the interactions between urban structure and technological, environmental, and/or socio-economic processes.
Resilience Findings welcomes research findings on the reliability, vulnerability, recoverability, sustainability, resilience, and management of infrastructural, environmental, and societal systems.
Energy Findings welcomes research findings on the production, consumption, conversion, distribution, and associated impacts of energy. Appropriate questions and methods include those from the natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Articles
The use of AI tools in the writing of articles is an evolving landscape. At this time, the following is the policy of Findings Press.
Research: ChatGPT and other AI tools are permitted research tools.
Authors should document the extent to which ChatGPT or other tools have been used in the research process in the Methodology section. This should include a description of the specific tasks, analyses, or portions of the work that were supported by the AI tool.
Writing: All authors must be human.
AI cannot be credited as an Author or Co-Author. Instead, researchers who use any form of AI (including e.g. ChatGPT) or similar research tools to help conceive, conduct, or document the research should acknowledge that contribution in the Acknowledgments section, emphasizing the respective role of the researchers and the AI in the article writing process. Human authors are ultimately accountable for the outcome of the work.
