As institutional subscriptions and online access serve a wider audience, its readership is estimated at 570,400 people. 


The primary purpose of the journal is to publish important original scientific research and research journals, but Science also publishes scientific news, opinions on science policy, and other topics of interest to scientists and others. people concerned with the broad implications of science and technology. Unlike most scientific journals, which focus on a specific field, Science and its rival Nature cover all scientific disciplines.
