The Scientist is a professional magazine intended for life scientists. Coverage includes reviews of widely noticed research papers, informing its audience of current research, updates to technology, updates to career information, profiles of scientists achieving notoriety, as well as other columns and reports of interest to its audience.
The editor-in-chief is Mary Beth Aberlin. The magazine has been published monthly since 1986 and is available in print and online.The Scientist was published by the Faculty of 1000 until October 2011. Its closure was announced in October 2011, but then the LabX Media Group announced its intent to purchase and continue publishing it. The Group officially acquired the magazine at the end of October 2011.
The Scientist was founded by Eugene Garfield. Its aim is to provide print and online coverage of the latest developments in life sciences research, technology, and business. Subject matter covered by the journal includes:
Starting with the May 2010 issue, additional sections and features were added from the Faculty of 1000. The additional content includes reviews of highly rated research papers and profiles of up-and-coming scientists.
Since 2003, The Scientist has conducted "best places to work" surveys: one for postdoctoral researchers in all sectors, one for all life scientists working in industry, and one for all life scientists working in academia. These surveys aim to find what aspects of the workplace are most important for job satisfaction and which institutions measure up to those standards. Throughout the year, The Scientist publishes overviews of these surveys' results, highlighting the top-ranking institutions.
The Scientist conducts an annual survey of researchers, educators, and industry executives across various life science disciplines to learn about their income and job satisfaction. This is a highly valued resource amongst science professionals. Results are published annually.
Since 2008, The Scientist has conferred awards for the top innovations in science technology: Nominations are submitted; entries are reviewed by a panel of judges; and the winners are announced annually in the December edition of the magazine.
The Scientist offers a website that complements the print version by offering life science news and interactive multimedia features. The current month's magazine content, news blogs, and podcasts are freely available with registration, while premium subscribers are also given access to the magazine's archives of articles, news, and editorials.
