论文摘要
随着Covid19大流行在世界范围内蔓延，信息的同时流行也随之蔓延。世界卫生组织被认为是一种不相容的信息，被描述为多种信息，有些准确，有些不是在流行病期间发生的，这种数据，研究和观点的扩散为学者提供了机会和挑战。学术界和科学家在解决不端挑战的解决方案中起着关键作用：作为教育者，影响力和沟通者，即使他们的专业知识和经验与SARS-COV2病毒及其影响不十分吻合。 成功的沟通需要更好地理解公众如何寻求，理解和处理科学信息，但是，为了使专家与传统和社交媒体互动的方式最大化，并确保这种参与并不增加混乱和误解，并努力反驳或挑战它。本文将概述与COVID19讨论的更多参与，进行此类讨论的流行渠道以及传播信息的流行渠道所带来的关键优势。它还警告说，那些选择参与的人可能会遇到的常见陷阱，同时强调这样做的不利因素远远超过了这种订婚报价的优势。
As the COVID19 pandemic has spread across the world, a concurrent pandemic of information has spread with it. Deemed an infodemic by the World Health Organization, and described as an overabundance of information, some accurate, some not, that occurs during an epidemic, this proliferation of data, research and opinions provides both opportunities and challenges for academics. Academics and scientists have a key role to play in the solutions to the infodemic challenge: as educators, influences and communicators, even where their expertise and experience does not align precisely with the SARS-Cov2 virus and its impacts. Successful communication requires a better understanding of how the public seeks, understands and processes scientific information, however, in order to maximise the ways in which experts engage with traditional and social media and to make sure that such engagement does not add to confusion and misinformation alongside efforts to counter or challenge it. This paper will outline the key advantages to be had from greater engagement with COVID19 discussions, the popular channels through which such discussions take place and through which information is disseminated. It also warns against the common pitfalls those who choose to engage might encounter, whilst stressing that the disadvantages of doing so are far outweighed by the advantages such engagement offers.
