Abstract

A scientific magazine resembles in many ways to other types of printed publication. In order to produce it, it is necessary to organize the agenda, to select texts, to ordain, edit and to review them. However, differently to what happens in leisure magazines, each of these stages flows under specific circunstances, since a scientific publication, in addition to informing, it must qualify and evaluate the information – considering that scientific communication is not disposable and that it tends to be perennial even when information itself has been updated by new knowledge or discoveries. Each published article becomes part of the state of art on that topic, building the framework of knowledge in science.
