 The use of digital media in science is not only linked to profound reconfigurations of professional research and the publication system. It also involves changes in the relations of science with broader publics. Public engagement is proliferating online and approaches like Citizen Science promise to extend public participation in research. However, such activities remain riddled with problems. Deficit-model assumptions about publics are persisting and also science skepticism is amplified on social media. The talk presents a refined analytical framework of the multiple publics of science for studying such phenomena and their predecessors. Drawing on the sociological notion of 'inclusion in society', it re-examines popular science audiences and amateur researchers as contributing to the production and evaluation of scientific knowledge claims. On this basis, the talk asks how relations between professional scientists and their non-professional counterparts are transformed under current conditions of digital mediatization.
