Abstract
Participatory science communication featured in several sessions and
individual papers at the 2021 online conference of the Public
Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) Network. This
coverage recognises the drive away from linear communication to more
participatory forms of science communication. In this special edition we
present practice insights, papers and essays that explore participatory
science communication. These contributions explore definitions, processes
and describe case-studies of participatory science communication which
involve a variety of publics, from young school students to Indigenous
groups to farmers. In this introductory editorial we reflect on the papers,
describe the growth of a participatory approach as part of the continuing
evolution of science communication; explore a definition for participatory
science communication; and consider some of the key concepts and
issues that emerged.
