科学传播是一个不断发展的实践和研究领域。在过去的二十年中，活动、课程和从业者的数量稳步增加。但科学传播到底是什么？它与公众的科学意识、公众对科学的理解、科学文化和科学素养有什么不同？作者回顾了文献，为这些相关术语制定了一套全面的定义。提出了一个统一的结构，并在此框架内对科学传播进行了当代定义。科学传播（sciicom）被定义为使用适当的技能、媒介、活动和对话来产生以下一种或多种个人对科学的反应（AEIOU元音类比）：意识、享受、兴趣、意见形成和理解。该定义提供了一种结果型的科学传播观，并为进一步的研究和评价提供了基础。
Science communication is a growing area of practice and research. During the past two decades, the number of activities, courses, and practitioners has steadily increased. But what actually is science communication? In what ways is it different to public awareness of science, public understanding of science, scientific culture, and scientific literacy? The authors review the literature to draw together a comprehensive set of definitions for these related terms. A unifying structure is presented and a contemporary definition of science communication positioned within this framework. Science communication (SciCom) is defined as the use of appropriate skills, media, activities, and dialogue to produce one or more of the following personal responses to science (the AEIOU vowel analogy): Awareness, Enjoyment, Interest, Opinion-forming, and Understanding. The definition provides an outcomes-type view of science communication, and provides the foundations for further research and evaluation.
