well i dont wanna give it away to much so you can learn some yourself... but my advice is to build cities close to water... these lead to lots of science.. also build more than one city... most of all, build building that lead to science (library, university)...
just keep trying and try different things

Moved to In-Game discussion.

Many keys to science. Firstly, population is power, each population point corresponds to another tile you can work. You can then choose to have that population point start working on a tile that gives you science.

To get more population you'll want more cities and have those cities grow. Also make sure your cities are in range of commerce tiles. In cities with lots of science make sure to add a library.

Those are a few basic tips. Good luck!

Finally mega cities (population 24-31) can generate a Lot of Trade, as the extra population units can generate 1 hammer, and 4-5 Trade (and you can build Libraries and Universities easily in a big city like that.

Use civs as China or Greek. They have library at 1/2 price. You could fix your science researching:


-(science)
Education (+1 per city)
University (+1 per city)
Atomic Theory (+2 per city)

-(production)
Engineering (+1 per city)
Railroad (+2 per city)

These research are very good to fix your science (seconds are to build university or library fast in cities with no production/few food)

and don't forget to put your scientific great people in cities that look like they're going to generate a fair amount of science, and build a libbrary early in them and a university when you can.

And Democracy helps loads as well.

the easiest way to get big late game science production, is to have a city with lots and lots of food around it.

What is this quote from. I really like it.
