What is known? What isn’t known? Knowable Magazine , the digital publication from Annual Reviews , seeks to make that knowledge accessible to all. Knowable Magazine explores the real-world significance of scholarly work through a journalistic lens. It reports on the current state of play across a wide variety of fields — from agriculture to high-energy physics; biochemistry to water security; the origins of the universe to psychology. Review articles written by leading scholars from the 50 Annual Reviews journals serve as springboards for stories in Knowable Magazine. Through in-depth features, explainers, articles, essays, interviews, infographics, slideshows, and comics, Knowable Magazine presents insights from research to a broader audience. Knowable Magazine content is thoroughly researched, reported, edited, copy-edited and fact-checked. Access to Knowable Magazine is available here. Collection Development
