    Based on the Web of Science, by using the key words of “climate change”, this paper retrieves research articles on climate change published in the journal of Science Communication, and analyzes these articles from several aspects such as article types, publication year, country/region distributions, authors' background, publication agencies and research topics, so as to reflect the research status of climate change in the field of science communication through quantitative research. The study shows that the number of papers on climate change published in the journal of Science Communication is relatively few, and there are 33 papers. Secondly, the distribution of climate change studies in the world is un even. The number of papers from Europe and the United States accounts for 90.9% of the total. Finally, the research horizon of climate change studies in science communication is very extensive. In addition to social science, it also covers environmental science and health science, showing strong interdisciplinary characteristics.

    It is with one considered as historical narrative drama—Copenhagen that this paper begins, in which an analysis of its inconsistence with the facts aims to achieve its formal structure about scientific experiments and the philosophy connotation behind the form. The paper is expected to expound the dialectical relations between science and humanity as well as explore the potential new approaches for science communication: to substantiate scientific form with ample humanistic cores instead of wrapping scientific content with “cultural-hollow” literature and art genres.

    This paper uses questionnaires to investigate the scientific literacy of the undergraduates in Zhejing. Then based on the survey results, we try to analyze the factors which have a great impact on college students' scientific literacy by using statistical methods such as variance analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that among the students of different grades, there's no significant difference in the level of scientific literacy, as well as the attitudes towards science. However, gender, major, college background and students' attitude towards science and technology all have significant effects on scientific literacy.
