Community survey among science communication practitioners in Germany (2023)

This dataset contains fully anonymized responses to an online survey conducted among German science communication practitioners (N = 103) concerning general science communication (formats, goals, target groups) but also focusing on the specific issue of evaluation in science communication. The survey was in the field from November 13 to December 14, 2023. Sampling was purposive, science communication practitioners were contacted via newsletters, mailing lists, at conferences and with the help of specific social media channels and hashtags. The survey consists of 24 questions, including multiple choice, Likert type questions and open ended questions. The survey is based on a survey from 2019, with partial adjustments in the instruments, to which the dataset is also available on Zenodo. It is important to note that the participants of the survey are of the same target group, but it is not the same sample. Questions focused on the survey participants’ conduct of science communication, most frequent formats, goals and target groups but also on their experience with science communication evaluation and their perceptions of it. A detailed description of the variables and the coding can be found in the dataset. The survey was conducted in German and it should be noted that the original data is only available in German. Results of the study included more detailed information on sampling were published on the website of Wissenschaft im Dialog (WiD), the organization conducting the survey and can be found in German and English.本数据集收录了面向德国科学传播从业者开展的一项在线调查的全匿名化回复，有效样本量为103（N=103）。调查内容涵盖通用科学传播相关议题（包括传播形式、目标与受众群体），同时重点关注科学传播领域的评估这一特定议题。本次调查的实施周期为2023年11月13日至12月14日。 本次调查采用目的性抽样方法，通过行业通讯、邮件列表、学术会议以及特定社交媒体渠道与话题标签等方式联系科学传播从业者。本次调查问卷共包含24道题目，题型涵盖选择题、李克特（Likert）量表题以及开放式问答题。 本调查问卷基于2019年的一项同类调查修订，仅对问卷工具做了部分调整，2019年调查的数据集同样可在Zenodo平台获取。需要说明的是，本次调查的受访者与2019年调查属于同一目标群体，但并非同一抽样样本。 本次调查的问题聚焦于受访者的科学传播实践行为、常用传播形式、传播目标与受众群体，同时涵盖受访者在科学传播评估方面的实践经历与主观认知。本数据集内包含变量与编码规则的详细说明。 本次调查以德语开展，需注意原始数据仅提供德语版本。本次调查的相关研究成果（包含抽样方法的更多细节信息）已发布于本次调查主办方——对话科学（Wissenschaft im Dialog, WiD）的官方网站，该资源同时提供德语与英语两个版本。
