Abstract

Science popularization research is a field of study that focuses on the theories and practices of science popularization. Academic journals in the field of popular science research not only serve as a bridge and link between scientific research and popular science but also an important driving force for the development of popular science research. This article takes Studies on Science Popularization as an example to explore the high-quality development path of academic journals in the field of science popularization research from three levels, namely the macro, meso, and micro levels.
