Science Pictorial was the first comprehensive popular science magazine in China,[8] and the only pictorial that continued to be published after the establishment of the People's Republic of China and still exists today.[9]

Science Pictorial is now published monthly and distributed by Shanghai Science and Technology Press.[10] It made science more accessible to the less educated readers and made a major contribution to the popularization of science in China.[11]
