iNow Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It tends to be more "spectacular" than pure "science" journals (like Nature, or the Journal Science). If you want "reliable," I would stick to the peer reviewed journals, not the "Entertainment Tonight" of science speculation. However, to be clear, I enjoy reading it because it's exciting and is VERY thought provoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genecks Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yeah, if you want Nature, you better brush up on stats, calc, and all that other stuff. Otherwise, I tend to like Scientific American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDarwin Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The New Scientist! I love that magazine. It's more for scientists than simply for your layman science-geek or technophile, but the articles are readable and infinitely interesting to even us lowly uneducateds. It also provides proper citations so you can hunt down the real articles and check what they say, and it's British. That's a bonus for me at least.

DrDNA Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Is the information in this magazine reliable? For the most part, yes. I think it is great! Pop Science and Scientific American contributed in large part to my becoming a "real" scientist. But as someone mentioned I think, it sometimes sensationalizes topics (but not nearly as much as the TV/newspapers and it is not so dumbed down) and it can be overly speculative at times. That said, they certainly don't print lies. I still enjoy it sometimes, but don't read it (or Sci American) nearly as often as I once did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
