الأدبيات العلمية literature of science أو علوم مبسطة Popular science ، هي كتب وأو مقالات تكتب بلغة مبسطة كتفسير للمواد العلمية البحتة بغرض تقديم أفكارها و نتائجها لغير المختصين دون الخوض في تعقيدات المعادلات أو الصياغات العلمية المعقدة. و هي تختلف عن الصحافة العلمية في أن الأخيرة تركز على الأبحاث العلمية الحديثة و التطورات العلمية الحديثة جدا، في حين تكون الكتب العامة العلمية واسعة النطاق و و غالبا ما تكتب من قبل صحافيين لتقدم بأشكال متعددة (كتب ، وثائقيات تلفزيونية ، مقالات صحفية عامة) أو حتى على صفحات الوب. لكن يبقى لهذا النوع من الكتابات محاذره ما لم يكن الكاتب متمرسا بشكل جيد في العلوم التي يكتب بها لأنه قد يقدم تفسيرات و شروحات مضللة لبعض النظريات العلمية.
تبقى أفضل الأدبيات العلمية هي الت يتكتب من قبل علماء ذوي خبرة في مجالهم، و قد حقق بعض العلماء في العقدين الأخيرين شهرة واسعة عن طريق هذا النوع من الكتابات أهمهم : ستيفن هوكنغ (موجز تاريخ الزمن) ، ريتشارد داوكنز ، روجر بنروز.
