Science Communication (SC)
Journal Descriptions
Science Communication is a long-standing and influential bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing research on how scientific knowledge and technological information are shared and interpreted across varied audiences and contexts. First launched in 1979 under the name Knowledge: Creation, Diffusion, Utilization before adopting its current title, the journal has a rich history of publishing work that deepens understanding of the processes, effects, and implications of communicating science and technology. Its scope spans multiple domains — from traditional and digital media analysis to behavioral science, policy communication, public engagement methods, and interdisciplinary perspectives that bridge the social sciences and natural sciences. The journal places a high premium on rigorous theoretical framing and methodological soundness, publishing articles that contribute to both academic theory and practical applications, such as improving science journalism, enhancing public health communication, or shaping science policy discourse. Science Communication is widely indexed and cited internationally, and it regularly features original research, reviews, and conceptual pieces that explore the dynamic interplay between science, media, and society. As such, it serves a global community of scholars, journalists, educators, and communicators committed to enhancing the effectiveness, inclusivity, and impact of science communication practices in an increasingly complex information environment.
