“…Three such segments have received scholarly attention: (Climate) Scientists : The use and effects of online media on scientists who are concerned with the climate, its developments and potential responses to it have received some attention. A survey of approximately 1100 German climate scientists shows that they use online and social media heavily, both for private as well as professional purposes 150. There are also numerous examples of individual scientists who heavily use online media, social networks, weblogs, or Twitter 33,37.…”

The study of climate change communication has become an important research field. As stakeholders such as scientists, politicians, corporations, or NGOs increasingly turn to the Internet and social media for providing information and mobilizing support, and as an increasing number of people use these media, online communication on climate change and climate politics has become a relevant topic. This article reviews the available scholarly literature on the role of online and social media in climate communication. It analyzes how stakeholders use online communication strategically, showing, for example, that climate scientists and scientific institutions do not seem to be major players in online debates about climate change and climate politics. Furthermore, it highlights the characteristics of online climate communication, outlining, for example, that although (or because) many stakeholders participate online, this does not lead to robust scientific information or better debates. Eventually, the review assesses what is known about the uses and effects of online climate communication, showing that impacts on the broader public seem to be limited so far. Research desiderata are identified in the end, and directions for further studies are shown.

“…Across all fields and all kinds of contacts, respondents average slightly more than one such contact per month. Most of these contacts are with journalists–which have been shown to be quite common before, particularly in publicly discussed fields like the biosciences or climate science [ 37 , 39 ]–and industry representatives. Contacts to politicians are less common [ 3 ].…”

“…In stem cell research or epidemiology, 70% of scientists had at least one contact to journalists in a three-year time span, and every fifth had more than ten such contacts [ 36 ]. In climate research, more than two thirds had media contacts over the time of one year [ 32 , 37 ]. In addition, many scholars take part in other public communication activities, such as writing articles in news media [ 38 ].…”

Scholars from different theoretical schools have posited that in recent decades, science and society have moved closer together, and the concept of academic engagement has been proposed to capture one part of this approximation empirically. This study analyzes the academic engagement of individual scholars towards politicians, industry representatives and journalists. It uses comprehensive survey data on Swiss professors from all disciplines, all the country’s universities and from associated research institutes. It assesses, firstly, the degree to which these professors have professional contacts to journalists, politicians and industry representatives. Secondly, it explains the extent of these contacts, using multi-level modelling that incorporates individual factors as well as organizational and institutional contexts. Our study shows that academic engagement is quite common with strong differences between disciplines. Furthermore, professors with higher academic productivity, positive personal attitude towards communication activities as well as a leadership position have more outside contacts. The gender and nationality of the professors, however, only play a role for some of the contacts with non-scientific actors.
