Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around recommendations for science magazines or journals, with participants exploring preferences for popularized science versus actual research papers. The scope includes suggestions for various fields of science, particularly nanotechnology, and considerations of personal experience with scientific literature.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for science magazines or journals, expressing a preference for those that publish actual research papers rather than just popularized science.
  • Several participants inquire about the specific scientific interests of the original poster, suggesting that the type of science (e.g., nanotechnology) may influence magazine recommendations.
  • One participant recommends "Nature Nanotechnology" for those interested in nanotechnology.
  • Another participant suggests "Science" for a mix of news and research publications, and "Scientific American" for more popular articles.
  • A participant mentions finding quality science research in the Wall Street Journal, despite concerns about paywalls limiting access to full articles.
  • Links to various science-related websites are shared, indicating additional resources for exploring scientific topics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing preferences for types of publications, with some advocating for popular science magazines and others for academic journals. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best recommendations based on the original poster's interests.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not reached a consensus on which specific magazines or journals are best suited for the original poster's needs, and the discussion reflects a variety of personal experiences and preferences.

What kind of science interests you?? (Nanoscience, but I would like a more generalized magazine.)

What experience do you have with science??( A lot, if you consider research. )

You want popularized science or the actual papers?( I am fond of these common novel ideas, but I would prefer actual papers.)
 
Sorry for perhaps repeating the question but do you want a magazine or a journal? If you are interested in nanotechnology I would recommend nature nanotechnology.
 
Science, a nice combination of news and views and actual publications. Or Scientific American for popular articles? Just look at the websites and see what interests you most, from there you can move to more specific journals.
 
I have found and read some decent science research in the Wall Street Journal . I was kind of blown away by it too. I was going to post on a couple of the articles. To my dismay, the body of them are hidden behind a pay wall, so I couldn't share my discussions of them if I wanted to. However, if I continue to find well researched source of interesting topics. I may break down and subscribe for three months to see if I find them worthy of the expense. Here is an good example.
