"Insgesamt ist dieses neue Handbuch "Science Communication" ein Ausrufezeichen: Europäische Wissenschaftskommunikationsforschung existiert: Fundiert, mit breitemAnsatz, mit vielen hochklassigen Forschungsergebnissen!" Reiner Korbmann in: https://wissenschaftkommuniziert.wordpress.com/2020/04/21/ein-neues-standardwerk-der-wissenschaftskommunikation-forschung-pur-in-science-communication/ (21.04.2020)
"Altogether this is the most comprehensive and multidisciplinary single volume on science communication currently available and as such it is definitely worth being on the shelf of anyone interested in understanding and teaching the topic in its widest possible scope. [.] Each chapter thoroughly references further work, which makes the reference lists a very useful resource in themselves, enabling pursuit of the specific topics to the next level(s)." Erik Stengler in JCOM ( Journal of Science Communication) 19(03), https://doi.org/10.22323/2.19030702. (29.06.2020)
