Facets is Canada’s first multidisciplinary open access science journal. Facets is published by Canadian Science Publishing, Canada's independent, not-for-profit publisher of 24 international scientific journals.

Facets is based on three pillars: Community, Choice, and Quality. Facets values community and was developed through consultations with scholarly stakeholders; Canadian Science Publishing believes that a healthy scientific publishing community results in better submissions, better publications, and ultimately better science. FACETS provides choice by publishing a broad range of article types, which results in a greater diversity of published research and ultimately improved dissemination of critical research. FACETS is committed to publishing quality research that demonstrates evidence of advancing knowledge.
