General comment: Very close to life, easy to understand. Anyone who can read can read. These items are all made in China.
General content: There are many things about animals and plants in the content of natural history, including popular science, natural observation, further physiological ecology, photography of a species or group, etc. And popular science related to life. In addition to these, it is history and culture, but there are still many popular science in animals and plants. The content is easy to understand, and it is suitable for all ages in Xian Yi. Adults have no pressure to read and tell illiterate children-I think so-compared with the other two magazines I want to introduce.
Examples of recent contents: each issue of natural history will introduce a plant, which is not long and combines the historical, cultural and biological characteristics of plants; At present, magazines often publish natural notes of big touch. The small animals he observed were not far from us, and they were well painted and described. Recently, the new column Meng Zhai will design a wildlife apartment and its life scene in each issue, which is very creative and popular. Every issue has a content about nature photography. Amateurs can watch the fun and experts can watch the doorway.
Pricing: 15 yuan RMB.
General comment: It's comprehensive, and some contents are not easy for people who have no relevant foundation to understand, but there are relatively few contents on each page, and there will be larger illustrations and auxiliary explanations, which seems to be less pressure. Suitable for readers who want to have a deep understanding of various fields of natural science. Many articles are translated from Newton Publishing House in Japan, and some articles are made in China.
General content: Most of the contents of Science World are about natural science and mathematics. The most common are medicine/physiology, astronomy and physics; It also involves other fields. Have cutting-edge technology and pay attention to basic knowledge.
Examples of recent contents: Science World has made special issues of Relativity, Exoplanets and Regenerative Medicine this year, and each special issue has been serialized for several issues; Some pictures of astronomy and natural landscapes are covered in one or two pages, which feels good visually; Each issue will have the ephemeris of the star map of the month, which is also suitable for astronomy enthusiasts as a comprehensive magazine; At the end of the magazine, there will be a preview and book recommendation for the next issue.
Pricing: 25 yuan RMB.
General comment: comprehensive, more difficult to read than the above magazines, and more informative on each page. Although the author has tried his best to be simple and clear, he still recommends readers with a certain foundation, especially researchers. The magazine is authorized by Scientific American and has many translations.
General content: global science is mainly natural science, and other fields such as sociology are also involved. Most of its popular science contents are relatively new. I won't write an article for you about the knowledge tossed in the network and other books. I will also bring some basic knowledge in the article when necessary. Long articles end with extensive reading, usually several English documents.
Examples of recent contents: Every issue of Global Science has a quick look at other editions (Scientific American) and an overview of academic journals, and the overview of academic journals will provide the DOI of the documents appearing in the content source for easy reference; Without serialization, it can be said that there will be no strange feeling (obsessive-compulsive disorder) if you look at any period or not; The magazine will recommend several books at the end; The most distinctive feature of each issue is that one page will review the contents of magazines (Scientific American) 50 years ago, 100 years ago and 150 years ago. You will see people's cognitive and technological level many years ago, so as to appreciate the development of human beings and human science and technology.
Pricing: 22 yuan RMB.
In addition, Global Science will issue a special issue every year. There have been special issues on astronomy, archaeology and the universe before, and this year's special issue is related to the brain.
At present, the level of popular science articles on the Internet is uneven. Many people want to do popular science for others because of lack of knowledge, and there are large sections of "direct quotations" for granted. To put it bluntly, the level of knowledge or popular science writing is not good. My personal suggestion is to read more, think less and write less, that is, read everything before thinking and writing. When writing popular science, it is best to read the literature directly or observe the records by yourself, and try not to refer to other people's popular science articles. Learn to fly before your hair grows, and it's easy to pull out a bunch of inexplicable things for others to "popularize science."
Some people think that there are too few channels to obtain popular science. In fact, there are more and more network platforms for popular science, and the quality is uneven. If you are willing to search, you can always find a reliable platform with relatively high quality. The popular science magazines recommended above are also good, and there may be cases where local newsstands can't buy them, but you can still buy them by searching online.
