Scientific Communication includes scientist to scientist(eg: through journal) as well as non-scientist to non-scientist communication.
It refers to public media aiming to talk about science with non-scientists. Often involves professional scientists but has evolved into professional scientists in its own right. Includes science exibitions, science journalism, science policy and science media production, among other thing. The term is "science communication".
Electronic Media & Scientific Communication
1. Use of electronic media to support scientific communication is one of the major shifts in the practice of science in this era.
2. Electronic media can often expedite special kinds of communications between scientists who work across continents and 10-115 time zoneswhile reducing the marginal costs of communication.
3. These communications includes informal e-mail, the communication of conference programs as they jell, the sharing of pre-prints, access to electronic versions of journal articles and development of shared disciplinary corpuses.
4. Internet is the primary medium of this communication now a days. In North America, public access to internet has become the occasion for both discourse about and changes in ways of doing business, forms of entertainment etc.
5. One of the notable feature about the development of e-media in science is that they seem to vary in their structure, roles and uses from one field to another. This observation robust with respect to the way that scientists use email and collections of paper and electronic journals.
6. These between-field differences in the scientific communication system suggests that the communication system of a field, and therefore the use of electronic media in that communication syatem is socially shaped.
7. As a consequence, the shift towards using electronic media as a major scientific communication medium seems to be an inescapable imperative.
8. In today's electronic era, more than ever before, all previous scientific reporting, discussions and controversies become available as parmanent sources for refrencing, inspiration and where needed dismissal.
9. It also leads to an enormous growth in the dissemination of identical information like for eg: in electronic environment 'interactive textbooks' will complete courses adaptable to the various levels and needs of students and scientists.
Conclusion:
The electronic revolution in scientific knowledge representation and exchange is only partially a problem of casting existing paper tradition into an electronic form.
