“…Good science communication not only highlights research findings, but places those findings in a context that the target audience can understand and appreciate. Studies have found that public relations in general, and news releases in particular, have an impact on which studies reporters choose to cover [7,8]. And researchers have also found that a good news release about research findings can actually improve the quality of the information that appears in subsequent news stories [9].…”

Public relations as science communication

Public communication from research institutions often functions as both science communication and public relations. And while these are distinct functions, public relations efforts often serve as science communication tools. This is because successful science communication and public relations efforts for research institutions both rely on finding shared language and disseminating findings in context. Public communication from research institutes: is it science communication or public relations? Is there a difference?Those are good questions. In order to address them, I'm going to make a couple of assumptions that will help define the scope of "public communication" referred to in this article: first, I'm going to assume that "public communication" refers to news releases, videos, blog posts and other materials issued by a research institution, as opposed to outreach conducted by the researchers themselves (e.g., a researcher speaking at a local museum). Second, I'm going to assume that the public communication refers in some direct way to the institution's research activities. For example, I'm going to rule out public communication about tuition at universities, political appointments at federal agencies, etc.Bearing those assumptions in mind, I'd argue that public communication from research institutions is often both science communication and public relations. Yes, there's a difference. But sometimes public relations efforts can serve a science communication function.

“…Tras la tergiversación y manipulación informativa se albergan otros intereses de distinta índole (aparte de los económicos, ya sean personales o por la búsqueda de financiación): notoriedad y aumento vertiginoso de las acciones de las empresas que financian esas investigaciones (De Semir et al, 1998), ajenos a la buena práctica de los científicos y de los periodistas que se encargan de estos temas, que distorsionan de manera consciente la labor veraz y transparente de los medios informativos. Hay que indicar también que estos intereses afectan tanto a los periodistas como a los científicos.…”

ResumoEste artículo pretende afirmar que toda investigación, especialmente la biomédica, para que sea precisamente tal, tiene que poseer una dimensión ética. Y goza de esta dimensión siempre y cuando vaya en beneficio del propio ser humano. Sin ella no se puede hablar de progreso en la investigación biomédica. Luego, solamente se puede denominar "progreso" si hablamos de una investigación que vaya en beneficio de cada uno de los seres humanos. Así es, la investigación biomédica se tiene que traducir en un avanzar del ser humano en humanidad. Pero desgraciadamente muchas veces no ocurre esto. Se llama investigación biomédica a todo, independientemente de que posea o no una dimensión ética, considerada esta como una instancia exterior.Esta dimensión, insertada en la propia investigación biomédica, es sustituida por otros intereses, sobre todo de carácter económico, especialmente en reproducción humana artificial. Así también, los medios de comunicación social hacen eco de este tipo de estudios en biomedicina. Pero muchas veces los medios buscan más las emociones del espectador que su responsabilidad por transmitir noticias con rigor y veracidad.Palabras clave: investigación biomédica, ética, ciencia, intereses económicos, divulgación periodística.This article pretends to affirm that all research, especially the biomedical, to be precisely such, must have an ethical dimension. And it enjoys this dimension as long as it goes to the benefit of the human being himself. Without it, we cannot speak of progress in biomedical research. Then, it can only be called "progress" if we speak of an investigation that will benefit each of the human beings. That is, biomedical research must be translated into an advance of the human being into humanity. But unfortunately many times this does not happen. It is called biomedical research to everything, regardless of whether or not it has an ethical dimension, considered as an external instance to it. This dimension, inserted in the biomedical research itself, is replaced by other interests, especially of an economic nature, especially in artificial human reproduction. So the social media echoes this type of studies in biomedicine. But often the media seek more the emotions of the viewer than their responsibility to convey news strictly and truthfulness.Keywords: biomedical research, ethics, science, economic interests, journalistic disclosure.Este artigo pretende afirmar que toda pesquisa, especialmente a biomédica, para que seja precisamente tal, deve ter uma dimensão ética. E possuem desta dimensão, no entanto que o benefí-cio seja para o próprio ser humano. Sem ela não se pode falar de progresso na pesquisa biomé-dica. Então, só pode ser chamado de "progresso", se falamos de uma pesquisa que irá beneficiar cada um dos seres humanos. É assim mesmo, a investigação biomédica deve ser traduzida em um avançar do ser humano em humanidade. Mas, infelizmente, muitas vezes não é isso o que acontece.

“…While signaling recognition that the process of science communication was significantly more complex than the direct interaction between scientists and journalists implied, the linear transmission model and associated notions of science communication as 'flow' and 'translation' continue to feature strongly (de Semir et al, 1998;Saguy and Almeling, 2008;Brechman et al 2009 and 2011), particularly in health communication research (Hallin and Briggs, 2015).…”

The changing uses of accuracy in science communication

Tracing its historical trajectories, this article explores the preoccupation with accuracy in science communication research and explores the resurgence in the present century of concerns about accuracy, balance and impartiality in public communication of science. It is argued that many of the original insights from news and journalism research are still relevant and important if re-formulated in constructionist terms about voice, access and claimsmaking, and asking: in whose interest? Key to this is also the recognition of a radically changing -technologically, economically and professionally -media and communications environment, with implications for science journalism and a very different dynamic regarding the range and type of actors involved in discursively constructing opinions and information about controversial science and expertise. The article concludes with proposals for future emphases and directions in research broadly concerned with accuracy in science communication.
