有人认为,基因组研究在大众媒体和科学文献中经常被不适当地炒作,这种炒作有可能造成一系列社会问题。本文描绘了导致炒作现象的复杂社会力量,包括出版压力,日益激烈的商业化议程,研究机构,新闻媒体甚至公众本身发出的信息。这些众多且相互关联的因素形成了一个“炒作管道”,如果不利用广泛的政策战略,将难以应对。版权所有(c)2012 S. Karger AG,巴塞尔
It has been suggested that genomic research is frequently inappropriately hyped, in both the popular press and the scientific literature, and that this hype has the potential to create a range of social concerns. This paper maps the complex array of social forces that contribute to the phenomenon of hype, including the pressure to publish, the increasingly intense commercialization agenda, the messaging emanating from research institutions, the news media and, even, the public itself. These numerous and interrelated factors create a 'hype pipeline' that will be difficult to counter without the utilization of a wide range of policy strategies. Copyright (c) 2012 S. Karger AG, Basel
