Knowra Scientific communication Scientific communication Scientific communication is the exchange of scientific findings, methods, and ideas among researchers and the public. It includes formal publications, informal scholarly exchange, and communication beyond research communities.
Peer review : Peer review is the evaluation of scholarly work by experts before or after publication. It checks research claims and methods before many findings enter the formal literature.
Scientific method : The scientific method is a set of practices for developing, testing, and revising empirical explanations. Communication makes methods and results available for scrutiny and further testing.
Open science : Open science is an approach that makes research processes and outputs accessible, transparent, and reusable. It expands access to publications, data, methods, and other research outputs.
Scientific consensus : Scientific consensus is the broad agreement of relevant experts on a scientific question based on accumulated evidence. Communication helps establish and convey the extent of agreement among researchers.
Deficit model of science communication : The deficit model treats public disagreement with science primarily as a lack of scientific knowledge. It frames communication as transferring missing facts from experts to publics.
Scientific publishing : Scientific publishing is the dissemination of research through journals, books, repositories, and other scholarly outlets. It provides durable, citable channels for sharing findings.
Research data : Research data are observations, measurements, or records collected or generated during research. Shared data can let others inspect the basis of reported findings.
Citizen science : Citizen science involves members of the public in scientific research, often through data collection or analysis. It makes communication collaborative by involving nonprofessionals in producing research.
Misinformation : Misinformation is false or misleading information, whether or not it is shared intentionally. Inaccurate accounts can distort findings as they move through public channels.
Public engagement with science : Public engagement with science involves dialogue or collaboration between scientific institutions and publics. It contrasts one-way dissemination with reciprocal exchange and participation.
