Science Progress Has a Journal
January 12th, 2009Posted by: admin
Science Progress, the science and technology oriented web home for the Center for American Progress, is also a journal. Its second issue is just out, and many of its articles are focused on innovation. Perusing the table of contents for the first issue, it seems that the editorial mission of the journal is pretty broad, but focused on science, technology and innovation in relation to the public. It will reflect the progressive perspective of its host organization, but the articles do address important and relevant concerns in various aspects of science and technology policy. Some selected article titles after the jump:
