The top 10 neighbors for Science Magazine span five distinct subcategories — Magazines, News Publishers, Authors, Podcasts and Radio, and Research Organizations — with scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.98 down to 0.93, the defining signature of a flat shape.
The two closest neighbors are Nature News & Comment (0.98) and Scientific American (0.97), both science-focused publishing channels, followed by Nature at 0.96. These three form the tightest cluster, but the remaining seven neighbors are not far behind. Ed Yong (0.95), an Author, is the only individual person in the top 10 and the sole Celebrities and Influencers entry. New Scientist (0.94) and The Lancet (0.94) extend the Magazines count to five — the dominant subcategory in the set. NPR Science Desk (0.94) and the National Science Foundation (0.93) and Pew Research Center (0.93) round out the ten, adding Podcasts and Radio and Research Organizations to the mix. Malala Yousafzai (0.93), an Activist, closes the list as the one neighbor with no direct science-publishing identity.
The flat shape and tight score range together indicate an audience with a well-defined profile that overlaps consistently across science journalism, peer-reviewed publishing, and research institutions — without any single neighbor pulling dramatically ahead of the rest.
