科学知识最近一直受到攻击，特别是在特朗普政府期间和来自特朗普政府。本文从科学实践和对科学的后真相攻击的角度讨论了科学社会研究的研究价值。该文献分析了专家工作和社会价值观，进入证据的生产，方法的开发和测试，以及连接证据，方法和方法的理论和认识论框架的构建。尽管这一领域的研究者认为科学中存在政治，但本文表明，他们对证据裁决过程和认识论的分析有助于科学。相反，对科学专业知识的后真相攻击是一种旨在支持特定群体政治和经济利益的特殊政治。
Scientific knowledge has been under attack recently, especially during and from the Trump administration. This article discusses the value of research in social studies of science in relation to scientific practice and post‐truth attacks on science. This literature analyzes the expert work and social values that enter into the production of evidence, the development and testing of methods, and the construction of theoretical and epistemological frames for connecting evidence, methods, and methodologies. Although researchers in this area argue that there are politics in science, this article demonstrates that their analyses of the processes of adjudicating evidence and epistemologies contribute to science. In contrast, post‐truth attacks on scientific expertise exemplify a particular kind of politics aimed at supporting a particular group's political and economic interests.
