Hello, all. I was wondering if anyone could advise me on what the best science magazine or journal is. Currently, I'm looking at Science magazine, but if anyone knows of a better one or a problem with Science, please tell me. Thanks in advance.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is no such thing as a 'best' magazine or journal. Different people like different things and each magazine will have its positives and negatives. Having said that, I have subscribed to, on a monthly basis, 'Physics World' which puts together all the recent news/updates that occur in Physics worldwide. 'New Scientist' is also good, but covers other topics as well.
 
Ok, thanks. I was wondering what is the most widely accepted and credible? I was also hoping to find one that published recent papers, but it also comprehensible, if that exists. I think that Science meets that description, but please tell me if it doesn't.

Have you considered to google your favorite magazine together with words like 'bias' or 'disputed'?
