“…Science-related populism, as we understand it, is not intended as an umbrella term for all forms of critique directed against science. There are many variants of criticizing science, some of which are not science-related populism—for example, concerns about the ethical, legal, and social implications of biotechnology (MacDonald et al., 2020), “counterresearch” commissioned by corporations aiming to contradict scientific findings about smoking or global warming (Oreskes and Conway, 2010) or religiously motivated objections to certain scientific fields (McPhetres and Zuckerman, 2018)—whereas other variants are , and with this article, we aim to offer a conceptual framework for them. We, therefore, propose an analytical model of science-related populism that identifies its key elements and their mutual relations, and can be the foundation for empirical analyses of its prevalence, preconditions, and impacts.…”
