Characterization of polarized scientific digital messages: a scoping review

Polarization is a process that occurs deliberately in a group of people in which,
after internal discussions, they tend to support more extreme opinions. Although this phenomenon can hamper the progress of science, little is known about its effects on scientific digital messages. In this context, this scoping review aims to detect characteristics of polarized scientific digital messages regarding scientific publications, science communication or specialized discourses. The results of this scoping review will support the further development of a conceptual framework for the identification of polarized scientific messages.

极化乃一群人在经过内部讨论后，有意为之地倾向于支持更极端观点的过程。尽管此现象可能阻碍科学发展，但对于其对科学数字信息的效应了解甚少。在此背景下，本次范围审查旨在检测关于科学出版物、科学传播或专业论述的极化科学数字信息的特征。该范围审查的结果将支持进一步开发识别极化科学信息的概念框架。
