無線電科學發表了有關射頻電磁傳播及其應用的原始科學貢獻。受歡迎的貢獻包括測量、建模、預測和預測與場和波相關的技術，包括天線、信號和系統、地面和空間環境以及射電天文學中的射電傳播問題。貢獻可能涉及結構、地球物理介質、等離子體和材料的傳播、相互作用和遙感，以及射頻電磁技術在太陽系地球和其他物體遙感中的應用。該雜志沒有發表有關生物媒介傳播和光學現象的論文。該雜志沒有發表關于空間等離子體的地球物理學的論文，這些論文更適合發表在Jgr：空間物理學上。

Radio Science publishes original scientific contributions on radio-frequency electromagnetic-propagation and its applications. Contributions covering measurement, modelling, prediction and forecasting techniques pertinent to fields and waves - including antennas, signals and systems, the terrestrial and space environment and radio propagation problems in radio astronomy - are welcome. Contributions may address propagation through, interaction with, and remote sensing of structures, geophysical media, plasmas, and materials, as well as the application of radio frequency electromagnetic techniques to remote sensing of the Earth and other bodies in the solar system.The journal does not publish papers on propagation in biological media, nor optical phenomena. The journal does not publish papers on the geophysics of space plasmas which are better suited for publication in JGR: Space Physics
