“…Surveys show that scientists try to maintain control over the knowledge they provide to journalists; they expect to be consulted before a journalistic story is actually published, for example. In the five-country study, there was almost unanimous agreement with the item that "journalists should permit scientists to check stories in which they are quoted prior to publication" (68). Interestingly, in two surveys in which scientists and journalists were asked to respond to the same set of items, that item was the one on which the two groups disagreed most (17,21).…”

The present article presents an up-to-date account of the current media relations of scientists, based on a comprehensive analysis of relevant surveys. The evidence suggests that most scientists consider visibility in the media important and responding to journalists a professional duty—an attitude that is reinforced by universities and other science organizations. Scientific communities continue to regulate media contacts with their members by certain norms that compete with the motivating and regulating influences of public information departments. Most scientists assume a two-arena model with a gap between the arenas of internal scientific and public communication. They want to meet the public in the public arena, not in the arena of internal scientific communication. Despite obvious changes in science and in the media system, the orientations of scientists toward the media, as well as the patterns of interaction with journalists, have their roots in the early 1980s. Although there is more influence on public communication from the science organizations and more emphasis on strategic considerations today, the available data do not indicate abrupt changes in communication practices or in the relevant beliefs and attitudes of scientists in the past 30 y. Changes in the science–media interface may be expected from the ongoing structural transformation of the public communication system. However, as yet, there is little evidence of an erosion of the dominant orientation toward the public and public communication within the younger generation of scientists.

“…Thus, one can say that the scientific system delegated the communication of scientific findings to the broad society to science journalism in particular (Kohring 2005). However, "science journalism is conceptualized as an observation of science according to rules that are different from those of the system being observed" (Peters et al 2008). Following this argumentation, scientific journalism observes and describes autonomously the interdependencies between science and society.…”

Innovation in Creative Industries: from the Quadruple Helix Model to the Systems Theory

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. the relevance of the creative industries, a high growth sector, has been pointed out as long as its strong and positive effects on jobs and economic growth. In the current context of rapid globalization and technological development, the innovation system is getting even more complex because it implies a shift in research focus from the supply to the demand side environment (consumption-driven economy). Permanent repository linkThe authors focus on theoretical approaches coming from management and media studies able to explain the current paradigm shift in innovation and knowledge production and use: the Triple Helix model (and its developments) and Systems Theory. As an interesting case study, the Creative Enterprise Australia (CEA) is analyzed according the theoretical approaches shown. The paper tries to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge pointing out the overlapping relationships between all the actors involved and the interpenetration of systems, and the prominent appointment of the media as an interpretative framework of the convergence of the depicted theories.

“…A midialização da ciência estuda os impactos da mídia de massa na atribuição de valor ao processo de pesquisa, resultando no reconhecimento por pares e pelos órgãos de fomento e podendo levar a influências nos processos e objetos de pesquisa (PETERS et al, 2008). Neste cenário, até mesmo a escolha por modelos experimentais ou mesmo por temas a serem desenvolvidos em pesquisa pode passar a sofrer influencia do potencial de mídia que estes estudos teriam alterando os rumos das pesquisas diante de uma maior visibilidade esperada pelo experimento.…”

Resumo Métricas baseadas em citações têm sido historicamente utilizadas para avaliação da produção científica. Entretanto, diante da revolução da Web 2.0 surge uma Cientometria 2.0, que busca celeridade na percepção do impacto das publicações científicas, bem como de campos emergentes e estratégicos. Neste contexto se inserem os estudos com métricas alternativas (altmétricas) que tem o potencial de aprimorar o entendimento das dinâmicas de citação, levando em consideração o contexto e o papel das diferentes publicações na academia. Neste artigo apresentamos uma discussão sobre o campo da "altmetria" propondo sua definição como uso de dados webométricos e cibermétricos em estudos cientométricos.Palavras-chave Altmetria, Cibermetria, Webometria, Cientometria, Bibliometria. Altmetrics: scientific production metrics beyond citationsAbstract Citations based metrics have historically been used to evaluate scientific production. However, before the revolution of Web 2.0 arises Scientometrics 2.0, which seeks to expedite the perception of the impact of scientific publications, as well as strategic and emerging fields. In this context fall within studies with alternative metrics (altmetrics) that has the potential to enhance the understanding of the citation dynamics, taking into account the context and the scholarly role of different publications. This article presents a discussion on the field of "altmetrics" proposing its definition as webometrics and cybermetrics data usage in scientometric studies.
