Description
The research project "The Trust Relationship between Science and Digitized Publics" (TruSDi), funded by the DFG for three years, investigates the trust relationship between science and digitized publics at the level of users, content and social structures. In five empirical research modules, the research program aims to (1) identify dynamic changes in trust relationships and (2) to provide explanatory approaches. A combination of panel surveys, qualitative interviews, content analysis and reception experiments will be used to analyze and relate different areas of public science communication.
