Study Notes
Science Communication
- Science communication is a set of activities associated with the production and use of information, from the moment the scientist conceives an idea until the information on the research results is published.
Features of Science Communication
- Provides the scientist with the best answers to specific questions
- Contributes to the scientist being aware of new developments in their field of action
- Redirects or expands the role and interest of scientists
- Provides feedback for the improvement of the researcher's production
Science Communication: Dissemination
- Communication between "peers", specialists in the same field
- Establishes a symmetrical relationship between the communicator and interpreter
- Provides scientists with an idea of the relevance of their work
- Tests the reliability of new knowledge before testimonies and verifications
Science Communication: Disclosure
- Communication between "non-peers", communicating to a general audience
- Interdisciplinary work that communicates knowledge to various audiences
- Proposes a delimited and specific socio-professional or technical framework
- Facilitates the population's access to academic, technical or specialized information
