To make this specific discourse, made from scientist to scientist, be understood by the general public, it is necessary do some formals and conceptual modifications in the discourse. In this paper, two texts about forensic sciences were analyzed. One text is from the magazine Ciência Hoje and the other one is from the Superinteressante. It was observed, in the Superinteressante, a major concern about the reformulation and explanation of the scientific terms used in the text. In the other hand, occurrences of authority arguments were bigger in the text from Ciência Hoje. These results are consistent with the communicative purpose of each magazine.
