One of the main issues with science publications is that for most people they are inaccessible, at least in terms of their complexity. They are written for other scientists. This excludes people from the research, esp if the research is funded by taxes, so the very people who pay taxes, can't easily access the science.

This could be about to change. An Article in Science magazine looks at this issue and is suggesting that science papers must take the reader in to consideration.

Interesting stuff. Lets hope over time we can get more science to the people.
