Science Communication: Journals

"... The journal was founded in London in 1992, at a time of growing activity in the field of science communication in the UK, in practice, academic research and teaching. The aim was to bring together scholarly research about science and its publics, irrespective of the disciplinary allegiance of the researcher, and thus to contribute to a reflective practice of science communication in society."

"... These include but are not limited to debates over climate change, natural resources, sustainability, conservation, wildlife, ecosystems, water, environmental health, food and agriculture, energy, and emerging technologies."

"The journal also publishes pedagogical, methodological, theoretical, and applied articles using both quantitative or qualitative methods. Research is grounded in communication theory. Topics covered include provider-patient (or family) interaction, health campaigns, health information, health promotion, interviewing, health public relations, and gerontological concerns."

"Articles cover a range of topics that include communication design, pedagogical approaches, the role of digital technologies, ethics, the rhetoric of workplaces or professions, the practices of publication management, dialogue between academics and practitioners, research methods, and connections between social practices and organizational discourse."

"The Transactions publishes original, empirical research that addresses one of these contexts:
-The communication practices of technical professionals, such as engineers and scientists
-The practices of professional communicators who work in technical or business environments
-Evidence-based methods for teaching and practicing professional and technical communication"
