“…In the 2000s, as Gómez (2015) explains, science communication "characterizes areas of science communication about interactions in each specialty, internal relations science as a whole, knowledge community and society in general, and the mass media" (p. 17). The Internet has played a fundamental role in promoting the dissemination of science (Klar et al, 2020;Rosenberg et al, 2020;Betz et al, 2021;Bubendorff et al, 2021;Durazzi et al, 2021;Erskine and Hendricks, 2021;Fang et al, 2021;Tapper et al, 2021;Rivera-Trigueros et al, 2022;Singh et al, 2022;Zhao et al, 2022). The dissemination of science has also led to the commitment to fight against fake news that brings harm to the population (Alvarez-Risco et al, 2020;Ceron et al, 2021;de Oliveira et al, 2021;Ilias and Roussaki, 2021;Jussila et al, 2021;Llorca-Abad et al, 2021;Murayama et al, 2021;Alnazzawi et al, 2022;Frino et al, 2022;Velichety and Shrivastava, 2022;Zervopoulos et al, 2022).…”

IntroductionThe present study aims to identify the characteristics of public policy relating to the Social Appropriation of Knowledge (SAK) in Colombia, generated between 2020 and 2021, on the communication and dissemination of science. Furthermore, the study aims to determine what incentives are offered by these policies to promote the communication and dissemination of science, and what importance is given to the use of digital scenarios.MethodThis is done through a comparative analysis of Colombia’s guidelines of public science policies using a bibliographical review.Results and discussionWith this analysis, it is concluded that the policies resulting from 22 years of reflection in Colombia aim to strengthen the SAK in the communication of science, understood in specific relation to dissemination, which is understood as activities that make scientific knowledge accessible to a much wider audience.ConclusionThe digital scenarios are proposed as communicative spaces to spread knowledge to communities and strengthen the science-society relationship.

“…It has been pointed out that very few PubMed-listed articles are tweeted, suggesting underutilization of the Twitter platform. [ 30 ] Twitter should be used for increasing the academic footprint of own research work[ 31 ] and frequently divert online traffic towards the thrust scientific work. OHCW and students should utilize Twitter microblogging effectively for patient care, research and academics while being ethically correct and maintaining credibility.…”

Current times have seen growing use of social medial tools, including microblogging sites like Twitter as an efficient method to disseminate information related to health amongst patients, students as well as health care workers. This article explores the role of this short, effective messaging platform in oral health care, teaching, research and learning. The concepts of “tweeting the meeting” and aggregation of conversations via “hashtags” is advocated for academic conferences, which will extend the conference reach to give the users better access to the instructors and enhance the related outcomes. Tweeting and retweeting the required research content may increase the academic footprint of the conducted research and researchers. In addition, it has served an immense role in the current COVID-19 pandemic by the regular circulation of information to the public and helped governments in policymaking and showcasing the areas of public concern. However, it still has a huge potential yet to be explored, with collective efforts towards strengthening the aspects of authenticity and standardization of the shared content.

“…Twitter activity is increasing as virtual and hybrid cardiology congresses are emerging, facilitated by key opinion leaders in the field and supported by an increasing use of Twitter ambassadors [3] , [4] . Furthermore, Twitter promotion of research papers may have a positive impact on future citation rates [5] , [6] . The current paper will focus on why and how researchers should embrace SoMe dissemination and in addition present a case from the Danish Cardiovascular Academy (DCAcademy) summer meeting 2021.…”
