"An innovative evolution for our digital realm"
In a significant move, the popular science publication, Cosmos, has announced that it will be transitioning to a new digital destination for science content. The decision, which was not made lightly, reflects a wider shift of audiences away from print magazines and the rising costs of producing them.
The final print edition and digital subscriptions for the platform will end in June 2025. However, fear not, for the Cosmos online news service will continue at the website, albeit with a fresh new look and feel.
The new digital destination aims to bring together audiences for a sustainable future. It will publish peer-reviewed journals, e-books, and fact-based science news. A dedicated news team will be employed to continue publishing stories about the latest science discoveries and interviews with scientists.
Subscribers need not worry about losing out on their remaining subscription term. All subscribers will be refunded their remaining subscription term, regardless of how they purchased their subscription. If your subscription was purchased via an agent, a refund will be organized following their standard processes. If you purchased directly from the publishing partner and paid by credit card, the card owner's account will be credited for the balance of your subscription. Schools and libraries that purchased via EFT or paid on invoice through their school account will be contacted to organize their refund.
For general enquiries, contact [email protected] or call 1300 788000. For media enquiries, contact [email protected].
If you are a subscriber who purchased through the Royal Institution of Australia prior to June 2024, you can contact them by email at [email protected] or call 1300 788000 to organise a refund.
As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we look forward to continuing to bring you the best in science news and information. Stay tuned for more updates as we transition to our new digital home later this year.
The new digital destination of Cosmos will also cover medical conditions and health-and-wellness, along with environmental science, space, and astronomy. In addition to publishing peer-reviewed journals and e-books, they aim to provide fact-based science news about medical conditions and the latest discoveries in health and wellness.
Beyond the traditional realms of physical science, the new Cosmos online news service plans to extend its scope to the world of environmental science, delving into important issues that affect our planet and spawning discussions about sustainable development.
