List of science magazines

"Popular science magazine" redirects here. Not to be confused with the U.S. magazine Popular Science.

A science magazine is a periodical publication with news, opinions, and reports about science, generally written for a non-expert audience. In contrast, a periodical publication, usually including primary research and/or reviews, that is written by scientific experts is called a "scientific journal". Science magazines are read by non-scientists and scientists who want accessible information on fields outside their specialization.

Articles in science magazines are sometimes republished or summarized by the general press.

Horisont is the oldest continuously published general science magazine in Estonia. Cover image from 1967.
