这篇文章中所理解的科学中介化的概念是建立在分化理论对社会中不同功能系统的区分之上的。尽管媒体是否是这样一个系统还存在争议，但科学无疑是一个系统。关键的标准是对传播所涉及的不同“公众”的描述。就科学而言，“公众”指的是相关学科或分学科从业者的公众。将这一群体扩大到大众媒体提出了一些问题，如研究问题的选择、研究结果的质量控制、相关性和可靠性的标准，即一般科学的自我参照性。另一方面，有充分的理由认为有关公众的划分是“模糊的”，这迫使人们将不同形式和程度的调解视为现实，而不一定对追求经认证的知识构成威胁。本章从科学社会学的角度对中介现象进行了理论探讨，为实证研究提供了一个框架。
The concept of medialization of science as understood in this contribution rests on the distinction developed in differentiation theory between different functional systems in society. Although it is debated if the media are such a system science undoubtedly is. The crucial criterion is the delineation of different ‘publics’ that are addressed by communication. In the case of science the ‘public’ is that of the respective disciplinary or sub-disciplinary practitioners. The expansion of this public to the mass media poses questions such as what happens to the choice of research questions, to quality control of research findings, to the criteria of relevance and reliability, i.e. to self-referentiality of science in general. On the other hand, there are good reasons to regard the delineation of the relevant publics as ‘fuzzy’ which forces one to consider different forms and degrees of medialization as reality not necessarily posing a threat to the pursuit of certified knowledge. The chapter provides a theoretical discussion of medialization from the point of view of the sociology of science which may serve a framework for empirical studies.
