Beck, N. (2017). En finir avec les idées reçues sur la vulgarisation scientifique. Quae.
« Vulgariser ? Je n’ai pas de temps à perdre avec ça ! » Voilà l’un des arguments fréquemment avancés par les chercheurs ou doctorants, parfois peu enthousiastes à l'idée de se lancer dans des actions de dialogue ou de partage vers le grand public. En choisissant de traiter une à une ces idées reçues que l’on entend parfois dans les laboratoires, l’auteur propose d’observer la vulgarisation scientifique sous l’angle de ceux qui y sont plutôt réticents et de se pencher, plus sérieusement, sur les questions qui gravitent autour des rapports entre sciences et société. Quels en sont les enjeux ? À quels publics s'adresse-t-on quand on fait de la médiation scientifique ? Est-ce que cela peut avoir un intérêt pour la recherche ? Quels sont les outils de cette communication vers le grand public ?

Montgomery, S. L. (2017). The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science (Second éd.). University of Chicago Press.
For more than a decade, The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science has been the go-to reference for anyone who needs to write or speak about their research. Whether a student writing a thesis, a faculty member composing a grant proposal, or a public information officer crafting a press release, Scott Montgomery’s advice is perfectly adaptable to any scientific writer’s needs.
This new edition has been thoroughly revised to address crucial issues in the changing landscape of scientific communication, with an increased focus on those writers working in corporate settings, government, and nonprofit organizations as well as academia. Half a dozen new chapters tackle the evolving needs and paths of scientific writers. These sections address plagiarism and fraud, writing graduate theses, translating scientific material, communicating science to the public, and the increasing globalization of research.
Olson, R. (2018). Don't be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style (2e éd.). Island Press.
The time is right for a new edition of Olson's revolutionary work. In Don't Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition, Olson renews his call for communication that stays true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational, and ultimately more human. In more than 50 pages of new material, Olson brings his pioneering message to this new age, providing tools for speaking out in anti-science era and squaring off against members of the scientific establishment who resist needed change.
Don't Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition is a cutting and irreverent manual to making your voice heard in an age of attacks on science. Invaluable for anyone looking to break out of the boxes of academia or research, Olson's writing will inspire readers to "make science human"-and to enjoy the ride along the way.
Roger D. A., Amy L. A. (2019). Championing Science: Communicating Your Ideas to Decision Makers. University of California Press.
Championing Science shows scientists how to persuasively communicate complex scientific ideas to decision makers in government, industry, and education. This comprehensive guide provides real-world strategies to help scientists develop the essential communication, influence, and relationship-building skills needed to motivate nonexperts to understand and support their science. Instruction, interviews, and examples demonstrate how inspiring decision makers to act requires scientists to extract the essence of their work, craft clear messages, simplify visuals, bridge paradigm gaps, and tell compelling narratives. The authors bring these principles to life in the accounts of science champions such as Robert Millikan, Vannevar Bush, scientists at Caltech and MIT, and others. With Championing Science, scientists will learn how to use these vital skills to make an impact.
