Such research outreach also contributes to engaging wide, diverse audiences. As such, the discursive practices have become more and more complex, multimodal, and multimedia-based for scholars and scientists. Scientific communication is currently shared to a great extent with peers in technology-mediated contexts, which allows formal scientific publications to be opened to public viewing. Alongside this so-called ?primary output? (Puschmann 2015), new ways, modes, and discourses are being used to bring science closer to a lay audience and promote citizen participation. The affordances of existing and emergent platforms are fostering a change in audience roles, and with it, the erosion of boundaries between scientific communities and the general public, entailing the dissemination of scientific information and knowledge beyond the former (Trench 2008). We are thus witnessing the development of discursive practices which may be referred to as instances of ?parascientific communication?. These practices transcend previously well-delimited communities and spheres of communication. Parascientific genres are evolving based on authoritative or expert knowledge (communicated through conventional, sanctioned scientific genres) but not subjected to the filters of internal, formal science communication (Kelly and Miller 2016). This Special Issue seeks to gain a better understanding of the purposes and specific features of these new scientific communication practices. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $apreprints 610 $aopen science 610 $ascience communication 610 $asocial media 610 $aTotal SciComm 610 $aCOVID-19 610 $ahealth communication 610 $auser-generated content 610 $areader comments 610 $avaccines 610 $avaccine denial 610 $aconspiracy theories 610 $adigital news articles 610 $acitizens' agentive power 610 $aparascientific genres 610 $apseudoscience 610 $aCOVID-19 information 610 $aknowledge communication 610 $aknowledge-building processes 610 $amultimodality 610 $asocial media engagement 610 $adiscourse analysis 610 $adigital humanities 610 $atextometry 610 $aauthority 610 $alegitimacy 610 $ablog posts 610 $adialogicity 610 $aidentity 610 $apersonal vs. institutional blogs 610 $agraphical abstracts 610 $agenre hybridity 610 $astylisation 610 $ainterpretive complexity 610 $avisual literacy 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aMur-Duen?as$b Pilar$4edt$01319571 702 $aLore?s$b Rosa$4edt 702 $aMur-Duen?as$b Pilar$4oth 702 $aLore?s$b Rosa$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910566482903321 996 $aScientific and Parascientific Communication$93033982 997 $aUNINA
