Transition in Scientific Journals : towards a new Scientific Communication

New Information and Communication Technologies and the Internet in particular have arisen a lot of changes in how we communicate and disseminate knowledge. One of the areas where there have been many obvious changes would be in the Science Communication . Scientific Journals, together with academic conferences being one of its pillars, have probably received most of the pressure to change due to the new reality. Scientific journals , 350 years after its beginnings, and given also the crisis of the 80s , are into a strong discussion about its continuity , its business model, but also of spreading . Beyond the economic and scientific journals the adaptation to the Internet, and also beyond the debate on peer review as a quality model , one of the most important aspects for research , according to our point of view, is the added value of the magazines , both articles and the authors themselves. Thus , we studied the accessibility of content, something that is broader than Open Access. The ability to find and manage this content will also depend on the way in which they are produced and presented . It is intended , therefore, to define and study several parameters to establish the degree of accessibility of the contents of scientific journals . The areas of study were scientific journals in the field of Information and Documentation (according CARHUS ) compared to other areas , such as Science and Technology , Medicine and other social sciences. A quantitative approach is conducted to research and analysis on various parameters of four concentric levels of study: site publishers, journals , scientific articles , bibliography . Another focus of study would be the feasibility of formulating a degree of accessibility as a standard of quality

Exploring the intersections: Researchers and communication professionals' perspectives on the organizational role of science communication

Purpose: This paper reports on research exploring the intersections between researchers and communication professionals' perspectives on the objectives, funders and organizational influences on their science communication practices. Design/methodology/approach: Examining one context, the inter-organizational BCDC Energy Research project based at five different research organizations in Finland, this paper presents data from semi-structured interviews with 17 researchers and 15 communication professionals. Findings: The results suggest that performance-based funding policies that drive the proliferation of large-scale research projects can create challenges. In particular, a challenge arises in generating a shared sense of identity and purpose amongst researchers and communication professionals. This may have unintended negative impacts on the quality and cohesiveness of the science communication which occurs. Research limitations/implications: The study was exploratory in nature and focuses on one organizational and institutional environment. Further research with a wider number of projects, as well as funders, would be conducive to a greater understanding of the issues involved. Practical implications: On a practical level, this research suggests that the creation of clearer communications awareness and guidance may be helpful in some large-scale projects, particularly involving broad numbers of organizations, individual researchers and funders. Originality/value: This is one of the first studies examining the perspectives of both researchers and communication professionals working over one project, drawing together a range of different institutional and disciplinary perspectives. The results highlight the importance of the influences of funding on science communication aims, assumptions, cultures and structures. The article articulates the need for further research in this area

Promoting engagement with quality communication in social media

The COVID-19 pandemic made explicit the issues of communicating science in an information ecosystem dominated by social media platforms. One of the fundamental communication challenges of our time is to provide the public with reliable content and contrast misinformation. This paper investigates how social media can become an effective channel to promote engagement and (re)build trust. To measure the social response to quality communication, we conducted an experimental study to test a set of science communication recommendations on Facebook and Twitter. The experiment involved communication practitioners and social media managers from select countries in Europe, applying and testing such recommendations for five months. Here we analyse their feedback in terms of adoption and show that some differences emerge across platforms, topics, and recommendation categories. To evaluate these recommendations’ effect on users, we measure their response to quality content, finding that the median engagement is generally higher, especially on Twitter. The results indicate that quality communication strategies may elicit positive feedback on social media. A data-driven and co-designed approach in developing counter-strategies is thus promising in tackling misinformation

A Robotic Irrigation System: motivating basic school students to science

The active involvement of our students, from early ages, in the study of science requires a constant motivational effort. Robotics is an actual subject rather appealing to our youngsters. On the other hand interdisciplinary approaches are possible in different science subjects using robots or robotics systems or concepts. In the frames of the 2nd Portuguese “Hands-on Science” science fair a group of basic school students was suggested to develop a science fair project using a robotic kit. In this communication we will present our approach and how the students developed their activities and the results achieved. The student’s motivation to work by themselves on their spare time, their enthusiasm, commitment, success and also the difficulties faced are analyzed. We will show that projects such as this one allow the positive involvement and interaction of students with science. Even heterogeneous groups can work successfully with this kind science fair projects
