Based on 1 445 papers published in Studies on Science Popularization from 2006 to 2026, this study systematically analyzes its development and evolution using bibliometric and comparative methods. The results indicate that the journal’s academic influence has steadily increased. Its researchthemes have evolved through four phases: initial foundation, transformation and expansion, integrated deepening, and frontier leadership. Research methods have shifted from early empirical summaries and theoretical speculation to a balanced integration of qualitative, quantitative and multi-method approaches. Theoretical applications draw extensively from communication studies, sociology, management, and other disciplines. Over the past two decades, the journal has contributed significantly to academic guidance, talent cultivation and policy support for science popularization. For future development, it should further advance basic research, expand interdisciplinary frontiers, enhance practical relevance and strengthen talent development, so as to build itself into a top academic journal.
