Publication of Research & Progress in 2013

The project concerns the publication of Forskning & Framsteg in 2013. The purpose of the journal is to report primarily on Swedish research and the role of research in society. According to the editorial policy adopted by the board, the content must be factual and relevant. The areas that are highlighted must be of significant scientific or societal interest. Other popular science magazines in Sweden write exclusively about science and history. In Forskning & Framsteg, 60% of the articles are based on natural sciences and 40% on humanities and social sciences. The editorial material should be designed so that it invites readers to read, is understandable even for non-experts and consolidates the readers' interest in research. Emphasis will be placed on images, as skillfully executed images motivate readers, explain complex passages and highlight key sections. In 2013, the journal will be published in 10 issues. In addition, a number of special issues are planned (in 2011 and 2012 special magazines on the brain, food and languages in the Nordic countries were produced). contributing organizations. The editorial team consists of four specialist editors, three of whom have doctoral or licentiate degrees in their areas of coverage, and an editor responsible for editorial planning and electronic publishing on the web and for tablets. The editorial team is led by Patrik Hadenius, who is also editor-in-chief of the popular science journals Språktidningen and Modern Psykologi.
