This e-book gathers the articles published under a special Research 
Topic of Frontiers in Communication (Science and Environmental  
Communication Section).

 From the editorial:

“The articles in this Research Topic (…) reflect a diversity of 
experiences and a diversity of epistemological, theoretical, and 
methodological approaches, ranging from discourse analysis (Fernandes) 
to surveys (Motoki et al.) and from experimental research (Anderson and 
Sivakumar) to content analysis (Massarani and Neves). This collection 
emphasizes different domains of research and science communication 
practice, including the rhetoric of scientific communication 
(Schneider), public participation/democratic decision making (Prettner 
et al.), media and science journalism (Davies; Massarani and Neves; 
Oliveira et al.), risk perceptions and uncertainty (Anderson and 
Sivakumar; Fernandes), and scientific literacy (Motoki et al.). Taken 
together, the goal of this Research Topic is to contribute to the 
literature on social dimensions of COVID-19 by examining how 
communication relates to attitudes, practices, and values at critical 
times of high risk, high stakes, and prolonged uncertainty (Funtowicz 
and Ravetz, 1993).”
