公众经常向科学寻求准确的健康信息,在理想的世界里,这应该是没有错误的。然而,科学机构和科学过程的局限性有时会放大错误信息和虚假信息。目前的审查审查了发生这种情况的四种机制:(1)掠夺性期刊为了金钱利益接受出版物,但不参与严格的同行审查;(2)提供听起来科学的信息但其建议不准确、不可证伪或与科学方法不一致的伪科学家;(3)合法科学家传播错误信息或虚假信息的情况;以及(4)媒体和其他传播者对科学的错误传播。鉴于科学信息生态系统亟需改善,我们将这篇文章描述为“战斗号角”。要保持公众对科学的信任,培养强有力的话语,鼓励受过良好教育的公民,改进是必要的。
The public often turns to science for accurate health information, which, in an ideal world, would be error free. However, limitations of scientific institutions and scientific processes can sometimes amplify misinformation and disinformation. The current review examines four mechanisms through which this occurs: (1) predatory journals that accept publications for monetary gain but do not engage in rigorous peer review; (2) pseudoscientists who provide scientific-sounding information but whose advice is inaccurate, unfalsifiable, or inconsistent with the scientific method; (3) occasions when legitimate scientists spread misinformation or disinformation; and (4) miscommunication of science by the media and other communicators. We characterize this article as a “call to arms,” given the urgent need for the scientific information ecosystem to improve. Improvements are necessary to maintain the public’s trust in science, foster robust discourse, and encourage a well-educated citizenry.
