  Not exactly academic journals but the Oxford Very Short Introduction series is very academic and covers a wide range of topics. I would say it's quite similar to RC because it's both introductory and can be quite dense and analytical. Like they said 'Oxford doesn't write "introduction for dummies", they write Very Short Introductions'

  Having a bit of general background really helps in science. You probably don’t want to encounter concepts like dark matter or CRISPR or spectrography or something for the very first time on test day. So I actually think good edutainment channels on YouTube can actually be really beneficial. Crash Course and Kurzegstadt are two I really like. Cosmos is really good too. The newer series with NdGT is great, but the old school Carl Sagan one is still the gold standard as far as I’m concerned. And there’s lots of other ones. I know this doesn’t address the question at all, but something I think can be incredibly helpful for the science-anxious. Just being familiar and comfortable with the process and ethos of science goes further than most people realize.

  Get yourself a subscription of the Economist. Been reading for the last year and has helped me tremendously.
