Science ant technology, governance and public acceptance
2012
A relevant part of the current debates about public acceptance of science and technology centers on the social acceptability of science and technology governance (including decision making, regulation and risk management). In this presentation we will argue, based on survey data, that the relationship between public and stakeholder acceptance of governance, on the one hand, and the level of public education, on the other, as well as current improvements in science and technology management is still unclear. We present recent survey data from Spain on the public perception of science and technology governance, particularly on the perception of the importance of scientific knowledge and value…
Researchers' Age, Gender and Professional Status as Indicators of the Twitter Perception in Science Dissemination
2019
Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el grado de satisfacción e interés que presenta el personal de investigación de las universidades españolas por las redes sociales como Twitter. Para ello, se han examinado los datos obtenidos mediante una encuesta online a unos 600 investigadores proactivos de la divulgación científica de 20 universidades españolas (2016). Para el análisis de los datos, se utilizó el test de independencia de Kruskal-Wallis. Según los resultados, dos de cada tres (65.4%) investigadores percibieron beneficios después de haber realizado la comunicación de sus resultados de investigación y una gran mayoría (84.7%) no percibieron ningún perjuicio. En relación con …

The place of art works in an exhibition on radiation protection
2015
The travelling exhibition “Vous avez dit radioprotection?” is coproduced by a science centre, (le Pavillon des Sciences), a scientific institution, the Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety Institute (IRSN), and the Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération regional authority. It gives an historic perspective on the discovery of radioactivity, and on radiation protection from two main devices: didactic films and artistic creations. Within the framework of a doctorate research in Communication Sciences at the University of Burgundy, France, this case study explores two points of view, the first being the exhibition as a mediating device, and the challenges related to it; the second is related to how th…
Capturing methodological trends in mobile communication studies
2013
This study investigates methodological trends in mobile communication studies. The articles published over the past 20 years in five journals (Communication Research, Journal of Communication, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, New Media & Society, and Information, Communication & Society) are analysed. The results show that the quantitative and qualitative studies have increased while theoretical accounts have remained few. The quantitative approach is the most applied. The studied articles reflect a structural problem of science communication that stems from the lack of cumulativity of scientific results and cross-national analyses and from the standard length of articles that po…
Communication role on perception and beliefs of EU citizens about science
2020
Este documento presenta un conjunto de recomendaciones basadas en el conocimiento de las consultas públicas de CONCISE. Los puntos se enumeran según los diferentes destinatarios: comunicadores científicos, responsables políticos, científicos y público en general. El principal objetivo de CONCISE es determinar el papel que desempeña la comunicación científica en la formación de creencias, percepciones y conocimientos sobre cuestiones científicas. Para lograr este objetivo, CONCISE llevó a cabo cinco consultas públicas en Lisboa (Portugal), Valencia (España), Vicenza (Italia), Trnava (Eslovaquia) y Lodz (Polonia) con la participación de cerca de 500 ciudadanos. Esto permitió al consorcio reco…
The two cultures: Scientists and journalists, not an outdated relationship.
2013
The relationship between scientists and journalists is much better than its image. Scientists not only believe that public communication is a duty, but also that media visibility is beneficial for them. The scientific culture differs from that of journalism, which causes partly discrepant expectations; but in most cases these do not preclude satisfying interactions between journalists and scientists. The traditional relationship between science and journalism is challenged by the rise of new online media. These provide opportunities for scientists and scientific organizations to communicate directly with the public via websites, blogs and social networks. Science journalism seems to be in a…
Science, Its Publics and New Media. Reflecting on the Present and Future of Science Communication.
2013
Scientific journalism faces the challenge to adapt not only to new formats but also to new information exchange dynamics. New online platforms, making it easier to access and produce scientific content, are forcing science publics to evolve. The online environment has turned into science communication reality, and both scientists and communicators must adapt to it. This paper discusses these changes and their implications for science journalism and an informed citizenry.
Les modèles de communication des sciences et techniques, révélateurs de postures publiques
2012
In addition to the famous deficit and contextual models scientific literature on science communication offers a wide variety of models, seen as mental, textual or pictural representations, helpful to describe, to explain, to analyze, to act. The models I found can be listed by themes: institutional questions, cultural visions, mediation, mass media, epistemology, teaching tools, advertising... Then, the pervasiveness of deficit and contextual models in the meetings dealing with scientific culture can be analyzed as a focus on institutional concerns, based on the need of effective communication ways. But exploring the models utilized by science communication scholarships, in all their multif…
La conquesta del lector. Reptes evolutius del periodisme científic en un ambient extrem
2014
La gran responsabilidad de los medios de comunicacion radica en que la ciudadania tiene derecho a tener una informacion cientifica de calidad. Que le sirva para tomar mejores decisiones, con espiritu critico, y para crear su propia opinion; que reactualice sus conocimientos y le haga participe de la cultura de su tiempo. En la actualidad, el entorno es cambiante y competitivo para la prensa escrita y las condiciones ambientales amenazan la supervivencia de la divulgacion. Profesionalmente, es momento de evolucionar pero tambien de conservar lo imprescindible: la esencia del buen periodismo, para diferenciarnos, con calidad y audacia, y ser asi elegidos por el publico. Debe seguir habiendo s…
