These 12 Science outlets are ranked by how many of their articles crossed real traction, not by how many they published — the two are very different numbers, and only one tells you whether a publisher lands. Every count here comes from shares we measured on Facebook, Reddit and Pinterest, article by article, and it moves as those articles keep spreading.
