“SCIENCE & COMMUNICATION”

The ESSENCE - International Journal for Environmental Rehabilitation and Conservation is a leading peer reviewed Open Access Journal dedicated for Rehabilitation and Conservation of Environment. ESSENCE is devoted to the dissemination of fundamental, theoretical and applied scientific knowledge in all branches of science, arts and commerce from old methods to new innovative ideas to Rehabilitation and Conservation the present Environmental Conditions.

While focusing on theme of Journal, the special edition issue designed with theme “Science & Communication” the major focus is on public communication of science-related topics to non-experts. This often involves professional scientists (called "outreach" or "popularization"), but has also evolved into a professional field in its own right. It includes science exhibitions, journalism, and policy or media production. Science communication also includes communication between scientists (for instance through scientific journals), as well as between scientists and non-scientists (especially during public controversies over science and in citizen science initiatives).

Communicating science to the public is increasingly important in today's society. However according to some research, some scientists do not have the skills necessary to do so effectively. There has been some research done over why this is, and it has been found that the stereotype of scientists is the main reason they will not communicate to the public often. The "Draw a Scientist" experiment proves that from a young age, most people assume that scientists are unsocial, so scientists use that as a reason to not communicate.

Cohen is critical of what has been called "Scientism" – the claim that science is the best or only way to solve all problems. He also criticizes the teaching of 'miscellaneous information' and doubts that much of it will ever be of any use, (e.g. the distance in light years from the Earth to various stars, or the names of minerals). Much of scientific knowledge, particularly if it is not the subject of public debate and policy revision, may never really translate to practical changes for the lives of the learners.

The proposed issue covers research and review papers from leading research organizations viz. academic institutes, research institutes, industries, laboratories, government research centres, universities, research organizations, independent scientists and Lawyers. The journal is a peer reviewed, indexed in various indexing agencies and follows open access policy. Being dedicated for environmental conservation and published only online for better circulation among authors and subscribers worldwide, and it is selective in accepting contributions on the basis of merit, novelty and originality.
