We seek original research that can enhance our understanding of the 
social dimensions of COVID-19 by examining how communication relates to 
attitudes, practices and values that the pandemic has placed in harsh 
relief. In brief, we are particularly interested in exploring how 
publics are responding to social distancing and other protective 
measures; how trust, responsibility, uncertainty, accountability and 
democracy relate to each other during this pandemic; how messaging about 
the pandemic differs among and between countries, regions, organizations 
and key actors. We are also interested in theoretical and normative 
inquiries into science communication itself such as how engagement 
practices are shifting during COVID-19, how political considerations or 
presumptions about individuals and social collectives have shaped 
science communication and how inclusive and context-sensitive 
communication is being imagined and enacted.

We encourage multiple article types, including, but not limited to: 
original research, hypothesis and theory, review, perspective, opinion, 
conceptual analysis, community case study and policy & practice review.

Full manuscripts are due December 26, 2020.

Due to the importance and urgency of the topic, publication charges will 
be 100% waived for all papers submitted to this collection by the 
manuscript deadline.
