This section brings you a spectrum of perspectives, concerns, and expectations all about the concept and process of communicating science in different formats and via different platforms. The idea is to capture for you a sense of the change that is happening all around us—new pathways to research impact; evolving ways of diffusion and discovery of scholarly knowledge; novel content formats for science communication; new success stories; the expanding roles of authors, publishers, institutions, funders, industry, science communicators, policy makers, public engagement bodies, press offices, and all other stakeholders—and change that is on the cards.
