From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
New Scientist is a weekly British generalist science magazine covering recent developments in science for a general English-speaking audience. As well as covering current events and news from the scientific community, the magazine often features speculative articles, ranging from the philosophical to the technical.
It is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but it is widely read by both nonscientists and scientists as a way of keeping track of developments outside their own fields of study or areas of interest. Many science articles in the general press tend to be based on articles from it.
