Scientific debates in modern societies often blur the lines between the science that is being debated and the political, moral, and legal implications that come with its societal applications. This manuscript traces the origins of this phenomenon to professional norms within the scientific discipline and to the nature and complexities of modern science and offers an expanded model of science communication that takes into account the political contexts in which science communication takes place. In a second step, it explores what we know from empirical work in political communication, public opinion research, and communication research about the dynamics that determine how issues are debated and attitudes are formed in political environments. Finally, it discusses how and why it will be increasingly important for science communicators to draw from these different literatures to ensure that the voice of the scientific community is heard in the broader societal debates surrounding science.

Only a few studies in communication research have focused on bibliometrics or scholarly communication per se, but these concepts are closely tied to strong traditions of communication research in content analysis and organizational communication. Bibliometric studies are becoming common in several fields of science because of the number and accessibility of electronic databases as well as the development of conceptual frameworks in which bibliometric measures are indicative of social processes such as the evolution of scientific specialties and the diffusion of innovations. Research on scholarly communication, and more narrowly on scientific communication, is receiving growing attention because of the problems and costs of disseminating information to scientists, practitioners, and policymakers. With its focus on informal and formal communication processes, this research clearly falls within the province of communication research. However, many of the studies have been conducted by information scientists with a practical need to improve scientific information systems. Communication researchers are beginning to apply bibliometric methods to topics ranging from political communication to the new media. Bibliometrics and the study of scholarly communication present an opportunity for communication researchers and information scientists to collaborate in an area of common interest.

This article deals with communication policies within the public sector. It takes its point of departure within the overall framework of corporate communication and hence exclusively sees communication policies from that perspective. Communication policies are seen as means of corporate communication. As means of corporate communication they feature what we have labelled 'mediational properties' within an organization. As such they – from a communicative point of view – constitute the interface between the strategic and the operational levels of communication management. As policies they should support decision making processes when it comes to ensuring that any instance of communication is in line with the mission, vision and values of an organisation. And they should offer a defi nite course of communicative action contingent on situational factors. The contextual background of the article is the re-structuring of the Danish regional political landscape, which is to have taken place by January 1st 2007. Communicating the mission, vision and values of the new municipalities is seen as an essential part of re-configurating and maintaining political legitimacy in the transaction period and beyond. The empirical part of the article deals with an extensive corpus analysis of a broad selection of authentic communication policies stemming from Danish municipalities. The analytical framework applied gives rise to a number of new observations regarding the generic heterogeneity of communication policies. The analysis also delivers new input to the theoretical discussion of the status of communication policies within a corporate communication framework in general and within a current Danish municipality setting in particular.
