This article examines the use of microblogging service Twitter during the period of the presidential election 2013 in the Czech Republic and aims to contribute to a development of an emerging research eld to which only a marginal interest of academics have been devoted so far, especially in the Czech Republic. A multi-method approach is used to analyze the dataset of tweets, which have contained prede ned hashtags within a course of four weeks period - including both, the rst and the second round of elections. The ndings indicate that the debate on Twitter “copies” events in mainstream media (mainly presidential TV debate), while linking to information sources in posts does not necessarily lead to the o - cial media sources. The analysis also reveals that tweets most often refer to Karel Schwarzenberg, in comparison with the names of other candidates, and that among the themes of tweets and retweets the most frequent topics are the campaign and political preferences which suggests the potential of Czech Twitter to form a basis of online political communication., Zuzana Karaščáková., and Obsahuje seznam pouzite literatury
Článek se zabývá některými důsledky otevřené vědy z perspektivy komunikace vědy a filosofie komunikace. Kromě čistě komunikačních a filosofických témat se text věnuje i otázkám tykajícím se procesu popularizace vědy prostřednictvím sociálních médií (zejména Twitteru a blogů). Článek se sestává ze tří oddílů: první navrhuje definici komunikace vědy a sociálních médií; druhý zkoumá proměnu komunikace vědy v éře internetu a zabývá se vlivem sociálních médií na komunikaci vědy; třetí a závěrečný oddíl přináší několik případových studií a filosofických postřehů. Nejdůležitějším, zde dosaženým závěrem je tvrzení, že sociální media vědu a vědeckou komunikaci proměnila. Twitter a blogy jakožto nové nástroje vědecké komunikace mohou být užitečné a smysluplné pro vědu i společnost. Sociální média mohou být navíc použita k usnadnění širšího zapojení občanů do diskusí o vědě., The aim of the present article is to discuss several consequences of the Open Science from a perspective of science communication and philosophy of communication. Apart from the purely communicative and philosophical issues, the paper deals with the questions that concern the science popularization process through social media (especially Twitter and blogs). The article consists of three sections: the first one suggests a definition of science communication and social media, the second examines the transformation of science in the Age of the Internet and considers the influence of social media on science communication, the third and final one presents some case studies and philosophical observations. The most important conclusion to be reached here is that the social media have changed science and science communication. Twitter and blogs as novelty tools of science communication can be useful and meaningful for both science and society. Furthermore, social media can be used to facilitate broader involvement of citizens in the discussion about science., and Emanuel Kulczycki.
