Science Websites
Research science websites according to whether they communicate findings, provide reference material or support research-related tasks. These purposes can produce different patterns of website use. Traffic estimates do not measure scientific validity, citation impact or the reliability of a particular claim.
Websites observed with an AdSense publisher ID (pub-xxxx). Sorted by estimated monthly visits, descending. How many rows you can open depends on your plan; a site can appear in more than one category.

Science communication versus research resources
Research-paper platforms, science communication and education resources have different roles.
Separate website visibility from research impact
Compare how sites present research rather than ranking scientific merit by traffic. Visits do not validate findings.
Example from this list: weather.com. Stored description: The Weather Channel provides forecasts, radar, alerts, and weather news for local and national audiences.
Compare only the rows you can see for September 2026. Read each site's description before comparing it with another, and skip sites that are missing a description or a traffic figure.
Does the website communicate science, host research or provide reference material?
Answer from the site's description and its own pages. The domain name and category label alone can mislead.
