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

Tue Sep 29 15:26:56 GMT 2020





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)
