Forward momentum for our digital space
In a recent announcement, the Cosmos online news service has revealed plans to transition to a new digital destination for science content later this year. This move comes as the production of the platform is set to cease in June 2025.
Subscribers need not worry about their remaining subscription terms, as all will be refunded in full. If you are a school or library and have purchased via EFT or paid on invoice through your school account, the team at Cosmos will be in touch to organize your refund. Similarly, if your subscription was purchased via an agent, a refund will be organized following their standard processes.
For those with subscriptions purchased directly from the publishing partner and paid by credit card, the card owner's account will be credited for the balance of your subscription. If your subscription was purchased through the Royal Institution of Australia prior to June 2024, please contact Cosmos via email at [email protected] or call 1300 788000 to organize a refund.
The new digital destination aims to bring together audiences for a sustainable future and will publish peer-reviewed journals, e-books, and fact-based science news. A dedicated news team will continue to publish stories about the latest science discoveries and interviews with scientists.
For general enquiries, contact [email protected] or call 1300 788000. For media enquiries, you can reach out to [email protected].
The rising costs of producing print magazines have contributed to the decision to stop production, mirroring a wider shift of audiences away from print magazines towards digital platforms. The original announcement was made by Cosmos under the title "A new future for our platform".
The Cosmos online news service will continue at the website, ensuring that science enthusiasts can still access a wealth of informative and engaging content. Keep an eye out for updates on the specific platform names and timelines for this transition, as such information will likely be shared in press releases or official statements from Cosmos Media or the organization that publishes Cosmos.
In light of the transition, subscribers with credit card payments can expect a credit to their account for the balance of their subscription. The new digital destination aspires to merge audiences for a sustainable future, incorporating peer-reviewed journals, e-books, and science news, along with a dedicated news team publishing the latest scientific discoveries and interviews.
