[Commlist] New book: Science Communication Research - An Empirical Field Analysis

Freely accessible as an open access e-book and audio-book (with both 
female and male voices), this in-depth empirical analysis of the 
research field in science communication was conducted as contract 
research for the German Federal Ministry of Research, which has 
thankfully allowed us to publish it in book-form.

The in-depth study of Science Communication Research (SCR) triangulates 
a bibliometric and content analysis of approx. 3,000 journal papers with 
a multi-stage panel study and a review of grey literature spanning four 
decades. Quantitative findings from the journal analysis (e.g. about 
disciplinary contexts or topics, research methods, data analysis 
techniques used) were considered by a panel of 36 science communication 
researchers in a multi-stage series of qualitative interviews. These 
experts represent the international and disciplinary diversity of the 
research field, including past and present editors of the most relevant 
journals of science communication, and the majority of the most often 
cited science communication scholars.

We are planning to do further deep-dives into specific aspects of this 
hugely comprehensive material, which includes dozens of expert 
interviews and thousands of publications content-analysed. For any 
suggestions about such specific research questions, please don’t 
hesitate to get in touch with Prof. Alexander Gerber at (a.gerber /at/ inscico.eu)
