Science news covers the latest research, discoveries and innovations in many different fields of science. The magazine’s writers and editors strive to place new findings in context. They often use words like “suggest” or “could” to indicate that a particular finding may not yet have been proven and could be subject to change. We also try to be fair in evaluating competing claims and welcome readers’ comments. When we do make a mistake, we try to correct the article and issue a correction in print and online.

SN’s articles often include information released under embargo, which means institutions release scientific papers or press releases to journalists before they publish them in their entirety. This gives us a chance to carefully review the research and work with experts to put it in context for readers.
