Scientific culture in Nature published film reviews and its enlightenment to scientific journals in China

[Purposes] Based on the analysis of film reviews in Nature, we explore new ideas for running Chinese scientific journals from three aspects: the publication of scientific research results, the promotion of public understanding of science, and the improvement of public scientific literacy. [Methods] We employed the content analysis method and Python programming to quantify, code, and visualize the semantic content of film reviews in Nature. [Findings] The films involved in these reviews are mainly scientific films, and some are feature films. The articles summarize the content of the films and try to interpret the scientific facts in the films from the scientific culture perspective. The authors of the film reviews are mainly scholars with backgrounds of natural sciences, and there are also a few scholars with backgrounds of social sciences. [Conclusions] The development of Chinese scientific journals can draw on film reviews in Nature from three aspects: purpose update, content expansion, and talent support, so as to improve public scientific literacy and enlarge the scientific communication influence of journals.
