Mapping the cultural authority of science across Europe and India

现代社会在会议、民意调查、范围界定练习、日常对话和大众媒体报道中表现出对问题的理解，其中科学被赋予了不同的文化权威。这个印欧网络将构建一个基于新闻分析和态度测量的科学文化指标体系。科学新闻的趋势（1990-2010；强度，定位，问题）与公众对科学的态度（兴趣，态度，知识，参与：Eurobarometer和NCAER调查，1989-2010）的趋势有关。该网络在话语分析、计算机辅助文本分析、大规模调查研究和复杂的统计技术方面调动和发展联合专业知识，以跟踪科学的文化权威。

Modern societies performs their understanding of issues in conferences, opinion polling, scoping exercises, everyday conversations and mass media coverage where the sciences are granted variable cultural authority. This Indo-European network will construct a system of science culture indicators based on news analysis and on attitude measures. Trends in science news (1990-2010; intensity, positioning, issues) are linked to trends in public attitudes to science (interest, attitude, knowledge, engagement: Eurobarometer & NCAER surveys, 1989-2010). The network mobilises and develops joint expertise in discourse analysis, computer-assisted text analysis, large scale survey research, and sophisticated statistical techniques to track the cultural authority of science.
