Science is the flagship journal of AAAS, a nonprofit founded in 1848 that describes itself as the world's largest general scientific society. The journal covers peer-reviewed research alongside news and commentary on science policy, and its editorial orientation consistently reflects mainstream scientific consensus. Since January 2025, its coverage of the Trump administration has been broadly critical, focusing heavily on proposed cuts to federal research budgets, workforce disruptions at agencies like NIH and NSF, and what it characterizes as political interference in science.
