The SAW-project „NewOrder – Understanding the erosion of the traditional knowledge order in scientific online discourse and its impact in times of crisis“ has been approved for funding. The interdisciplinary project will be led by Prof. Dr. Stefan Dietze, together with researchers from GESIS and the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf we will examine how changed orders of the publication process (e.g., preprints) and blurring roles in science communication affect trust in science. Job ad for a PhD student is coming out soon (conducting experiments and a longitudinal study).
