Note:Starting by establishing the need for a science of science communication, this handbook provides an overview of the area. It examines sources of science knowledge and the ways in which changing media structures affect it, reveals what the public thinks about science, and situates current scientific controversies in their historical contexts. Challenges to science including difficulties in peer review, rising numbers of retractions, publication and statistical biases, and hype. Successes and failures in communicating about four controversies are discussed, and the ways in which elite intermediaries communicate science. The final section identifies the ways in which human biases that can affect communicated science can be overcome.
