Nuclear safety is a very popular topic on the internet, and the online survey on the nuclear safety awareness and attitude by the netizen and the nuclear science communication are of great importance for the academy and the application in China. The paper uses the online survey with random sampling to measure the Nuclear Safety Awareness and Attitude of Chinese net users as well as the degree of the Nuclear Science Communication in China. The results show that most of people have a limited knowledge in science communication, while they have a high trust upon the Chinese Nuclear Power Plants, yet they don’t like to build more plants in future. The male have a higher nuclear power knowledge level than that of the female, whereas the higher education they have, the more they are against building nuclear power plants in future. Specially, the respondents with the age of more than 50 years old have the highest level of science communication about nuclear safety, while the lowest is for the group of less than 35 years old who embody the negative attitude to build more nuclear power in China. According to the survey data, some revelations on Nuclear Science Communication should be studied in China in the future.

Science education develops quickly and it has reaped remarkable achievements for the recent 20 years. As the most important forum for international science education community, JRST has kept track of its development and growth. Therefore, the paper systematically analyzes 20 years’ papers of JRST by six variables involving the topic, subject content, research object and research style to describe the research’s current situation and frontier picture of international science education, and sums up five suggestions for the related researches in China.

Science museum is a gradually developing public cultural and educational facility during the period of the Republic of China, which exerts substantial and positive impacts on the popularization of science and people’s science and education during the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Guizhou Provincial Science Museum, as the typical one among many museums in the Republic of China is worth studying. The paper mainly focuses on the following aspects including construction process, organizational structure and scientific popularization of Guizhou Provincial Science Museum, which explores its influences on the popularization of the social sciences, and makes further discussions and reflections on the science popularization and education function of science museum.

Public understanding of air pollution alludes to a series of psychological responses to air pollution from the general public, including how the atmospheric environment is perceived, what attitudes they have towards pollution, and how people assess it, etc. The issue stems from the public’s reaction to the residents’ complaint about the smoke nuisance. While at the present times, the research on the public understanding of air pollution facilitates the potential prediction of public acceptance of the pollution control measures and provides public data support to the development of environmental management and education. The paper reviews recent work in the field of public understanding research, such as pollution nuisance, environmental psychology and risk perception, and also traces back to its root of environment history. The paper concludes itself by emphasizing the great significance of public understanding as public opinions in environmental management and education.

The author recalls how it helps him embark on a journey for a pursuit of scientific research by immersing himself into science popularization readings during the boyhood. The good doings are manifested in the following areas: Science popularization and media reinforce each other, especially in the fact that new media is of great importance to science popularization work. Some thought on how to do a great job in science popularization lectures and prospective dream for science popularization endeavors are also illustrated in the paper. In a nutshell, the author hopes to put more energy and time on producing original science popularization works in the future.

The earthquake disaster, usually classified as the “the most calamitous disaster”, is always happening in a sudden, strong and destructive manner, and is prone to causing the secondary disaster, thus it is highly concerned by the users. Based on the Baidu massive user behavior data, the paper conducts an analysis of the search behavior tendency and trait of the specific keywords “earthquake” by utilizing Baidu index. By doing so, the needs of the users and the the tendency of public opinions on the media are explored for the purpose of coming up with the optimal strategy concerning how to handle science popularization work having to do with earthquake prevention and disaster reduction.

Public Understanding of Science is a prestigious journal which covers all aspects of interactions between S&T and public. This paper takes all published papers on Public Understanding of Science during 2005—2014 as an example based on literature and content analysis. According to the data collection and analysis, This paper discusses the hot features and trends during the last decade from perspectives of scientific issues, methodology, authors and countries, citation and cited sources, co-citation network, etc. This paper offers information and references that help the further analysis and researches on public understanding of science in China.

With the controversies over climate change between developed countries and developing countries in recent years becoming increasingly heat-debated, scholars from a variety of disciplinary fields have paid attention to environmental issues, thus environmental communication has become an independent discipline. In the paper, the authors firstly define the concept of environmental communication, and subsequently map out the background and process in which how environmental communication research is developed, and finally, figure out its research interests, theoretical foundation and methodology by analyzing papers published in the journal Environmental Communication (2007—2014).

In the paper, the chemistry textbooks published during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are taken as the research object, representative textbooks during different periods and publishing data are analyzed, and the development of these textbooks and the characteristics of their changes are studied. Chemistry textbooks of modern China originated from textbooks translated from abroad, and were compiled independently later. The presentation and content of chemistry textbooks were perfected gradually and were more attentive to teaching, which promoted school education and science communication. The evolution of these textbooks reflected the development of chemistry and the perception of education.

Content analysis and statistical analysis are utilized in the paper to gain an analysis of some related reports about Shandong vaccination case. In the paper, the author intends to analyze the interaction of the theme of report, report frequency, public participation degree in news reports. Through the research, we can find that there still exist some problems for the current situation of health risk communication for Chinese media, and it influences the reception effect of the targeted directly. In order to solve this problem, the author gives three suggestions: enrich the theme of report, pay attention to the follow-up reports, and attend more to the interaction between the public and the media to further popularize the health knowledge and promote an effective communication of health risk.
