Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to review the origin and development of World Science's featured column Careers, summarize the experiences and practical significance of its construction, and demonstrate and enrich the rules for the featured column construction in popular science journals. [Methods] Nearly 30 years of publication practices in the Careers column were studied by case analysis to investigate the ideas and pathways of constructing popular science columns centered around the "popularization of scientific research projects" in the specific historical context of China's modernization. [Findings] Careers column adheres to the running purpose of "disseminating science and serving China's modernization construction". Focusing on the topic about the popularization of China's scientific research projects, the column consistently publishes interviews with young scientists and meta-science popularization works authored by them. In China's "dual-wing theory" practice on innovative development, it contributes to enhancing public scientific literacy. [Conclusions] During featured column construction in popular science journals, the essence of popular science journals should be grasped, and popular science topics should be explored to integrate science popularization efforts, and maintain long-term dedication and innovation. This approach exemplifies the individuality and distinctiveness of popular science journals, providing a choice to meet the public science popularization needs in the new era.
