Latest ArticlesThe presentation will report on the science communication policy implemented by the European Union (EU) in research projects and on science communication activities developed in the international ITER project in which China, EU, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and United States are participating.
This paper shares and makes a study of some cases involving the interrelation between science popularization and scientific research on such national famous science webs as http://songshuhui.net/ and http://www.guokr.com/. The specific cases from the webs are stated as follows: science popularization promotes the interdisciplinary exchange among the science communities, science popularization helps to integrate the social resources used for science research, science popularization elevates the influence of the scientific achievements, how to win the public trust, and science popularization makes the relevant arguments being debated hotly and makes its achievements enlightened.
The illustration of the achievements for the basic science disciplines is made in a rigorously logical and systematical manner, through which the professional term of science community has come into shape, becoming a channel for the social elites to have themselves expressed in the traditional science communication. In modern times, the newly emerging media help to facilitate the birth of new communication era, the ways for the public to gain access to the science information in the web era are characteristic of deconstruction quite different from the previously traditional ways which gave emphasis on strong construction and linearization. How to make the relations between science community and basic science research more interlinked, and how to make it adapt to the new communicating platform in which a huge number of people have themselves expressed to avoid the demise of the dominance of the discourses has become an unavoidable topic of strategic significance.
Knowledge distribution force which promotes the highly effective flow of knowledge serves as an important factor affecting innovative capability and performance. Basic research, in essence, is a process of reproduction and co-production of knowledge, the performance of knowledge flow will not only affect its ability and performance in basic research, but also will affect the sound application of achievements coming from it. The paper, adopting the analytical method of knowledge flow, is to discover the major problems facing science popularization in basic research.
According to the classification of genetics, science can be divided into 3 historical paradigms, namely, classical natural history one, modern math one, and contemporary STS one (science, technology and society), since entering into the stage of contemporary science, STS has gone through a complex evolution process, specifically, from field to discipline, from discipline to cross-discipline, trans-disciplinary and science paradigm. In terms of people's understanding of STS, the most significant aspect is that they have established a series of new concepts and perspectives which are used for promoting the coordinated development of science, technology and society, and especially that the newly established and proposed concept on science has brought about new concept on popularization.
