Publication of Research & Progress in 2015

Forskning & Framsteg is one of Sweden's leading popular science journals. It was founded in 1966 and has been published by a non-profit foundation since 1979. The foundation is supported by a large number of research funding organizations. The journals operate at a loss. Without external funding, continued publication would not be possible. Since 2010, several measures have been taken to strengthen the finances, including an increase in publication to 10 issues, advertising sales, a new layout and editorial collaborations. By providing grant funding for some of its activities, the Foundation can staff a qualified editorial team with expertise in the natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, and maintain a broad coverage and reporting of Swedish research. The content of Forskning & Framsteg should not only be governed by demand, but also by the Foundation's purpose of broadly communicating the results of Swedish research and stimulating interest in science.
