Abstract

"Selfish scientists won't share new findings," ran one headline in The Onion. The story was about a group of rebellious scientists who made a groundbreaking, life-saving discovery, but decided to hold on to it, unless they were paid a ludicrous reward. Imagine that for a second: science happening, but without anyone finding out about it"-- Provided by publisher

Abstract

The problems we face in the 21st century require innovative thinking from all of us. Be it students, academics, business researchers of government policy makers. Hopes for improving our healthcare, food supply, community safety and environmental sustainability depend on the pervasive application of research solutions.The research heroes who take on the immense problems of our time face bigger than ever challenges, but if they adopt potent guiding principles and effective research lifecycle strategies, they can produce the advances that will enhance the lives of many people. These inspirational research leaders will break free from traditional thinking, disciplinary boundaries, and narrow aspirations. They will be bold innovators and engaged collaborators, who are ready to lead, yet open to new ideas, self-confident, yet empathetic to others.In this book, Ben Shneiderman recognizes the unbounded nature of human creativity, the multiplicative power of teamwork, and the catalytic effects of innovation. He reports on the growing number of initiatives to promote more integrated approaches to research so as to promote the expansion of these efforts. It is meant as a guide to students and junior researchers, as well as a manifesto for senior researchers and policy makers, challenging widely-held beliefs about how applied innovations evolve and how basic breakthroughs are made, and to help plotting the course towards tomorrow's great advancements.

Abstract

"Why do we need to communicate science? Is science, with its highly specialised language and its arcane methods, too distant to be understood by the public? Is it really possible for citizens to participate meaningfully in scientific research projects and debate? Should scientists be mandated to engage with the public to facilitate better understanding of science? How can they best communicate their special knowledge to be intelligible? These and a plethora of related questions are being raised by researchers and politicians alike as they have become convinced that science and society need to draw nearer to one another. Once the persuasion took hold that science should open up to the public and these questions were raised, it became clear that coming up with satisfactory answers would be a complex challenge. The inaccessibility of scientific language and methods, due to ever increasing specialisation, is at the base of its very success. Thus, translating specialised knowledge to become understandable, interesting and relevant to various publics creates particular perils. This is exacerbated by the ongoing disruption of the public discourse through the digitisation of communication platforms. For example, the availability of medical knowledge on the internet and the immense opportunities to inform oneself about health risks via social media are undermined by the manipulable nature of this technology that does not allow its users to distinguish between credible content and misinformation. In countries around the world, scientists, policy-makers and the public have high hopes for science communication: that it may elevate its populations educationally, that it may raise the level of sound decision-making for people in their daily lives, and that it may contribute to innovation and economic well-being. This collection of current reflections gives an insight into the issues that have to be addressed by research to reach these noble goals, for South Africa and by South Africans in particular."

Abstract

"This book addresses the roles and challenges of people who communicate science, who work with scientists, and who teach STEM majors how to write. In terms of practice and theory, chapters address themes encountered by scientists and communicators, including ethical challenges, visual displays, and communication with publics, as well as changed and changing contexts and genres. The pedagogy section covers topics important to instructors' everyday teaching as well as longer-term curricular development. Chapters address delivery of rhetorically informed instruction, communication from experts to the publics, writing assessment, online teaching, and communication-intensive pedagogies and curricula."

Abstract

This volume is based on visits made to the Soviet Union by a number of American psychologists in the summer of 1960. The intended merits of these visits were dual. By having a considerable group of well-known American psychologists visit Soviet psychologists as individuals under the auspices of our professional association, it was hoped to improve communications further between psychologists of the two countries. In addition, and perhaps more directly to the point, a number of competent psychologists varying in their fields of interest would be in a position to report back to their American colleagues on the full range of work being done by our Soviet colleagues. The intent of these visits was to open up communication between American and Soviet psychology. This entire volume has been conceived in the same spirit.

Abstract

Esta edição resulta dos debates, troca de ideias e investigações sobre as condições e políticas de difusão da produção científica em Comunicação e dos temas que lhes estão associados, tais como, os critérios para indexação de revistas, os sistemas de métricas de avaliação de impacto, os critérios e as hierarquias na circulação do conhecimento produzido, a importância do acesso aberto e a divulgação do conhecimento nos diferentes idiomas - Português, Espanhol e Inglês -, no espaço ibero-americano. Debates, durante mais de seis anos, proporcionados pelo Fórum de Publicações e Difusão de Conhecimento Científico da Confederação Ibero-Americana das Associações Científicas e Acadêmicas de Comunicação (Confibercom). Intitulada Revistas Científicas de Comunicação Ibero-Americanas na Política de Divulgação do Conhecimento: Tendências, Limitações e os Desafios de Novas Estratégias, a obra reúne a contribuição de autores portugueses, espanhóis e latino-americanos, que além de analisarem aspectos cruciais dos mecanismos operativos internacionais de divulgação científica, apontam caminhos para romper barreiras e possibilitar uma maior democratização do conhecimento científico Ibero-Americano de Comunicação entre os seus próprios países e no mundo. Os 13 autores, aqui reunidos, preocupam-se em ecoar, na sociedade como um todo, as muitas vozes da América Latina e dos restantes países de línguas portuguesa, galega, catalã e espanhola que têm muito a dizer ao mundo todo por meio da investigação em Comunicação.

Abstract

Les changements culturels, sociaux et économiques accélérés, si caractéristiques de notre modernité, déstabilisent les activités traditionnelles de la culture scientifique et technologique (CST). Ils nourrissent et amplifient un doute sur leur légitimité et nécessité. Nous proposons d'amorcer une réflexion en vue d'anticiper les développements prévisibles dans ce domaine ainsi que leurs impacts sur les pratiques actuelles et futures. L'objectif est de repérer les nouveaux espaces de communication qui s'ouvrent à la CST. Il est donc question d'enjeux, d'acteurs, d'institutions interpellées ou mobilisées, et de processus de dissémination dans le social. En arrière-plan, nous souhaitons susciter une prise de conscience des modalités émergente de socialisation, d'acculturation et de représentation des sciences et des technologies en réaction à ce qui nous semble être un ajustement structurel du champ de la CST. Nous souhaitons que cette démarche contribue à une compréhension des nouveaux modes de régulation entre les acteurs et les institutions et, par conséquent, des nouveaux rapports au savoir en voie de constitution.
