Resumo(s)
When analysing the actors of the science communication ecosystem,
scholarly research has focused on the perceptions and attitudes of
scientists, science journalists, and science communicators. How the public
envisages the roles of science producers and mediators is mostly
uncharted territory. We address this gap, by examining the results of a
public consultation in Portugal concerning science communication. We
show that the public demonstrates a clear preference for science
communication performed by scientists, over journalists, although
credibility and trust depend on multiple factors. We also ascertain that
professional science communicators are mostly invisible, though the public
recognises the value of ‘translators’.
