TL;DR: ReCOVery, a repository designed and constructed to facilitate research on combating information with low credibility regarding COVID-19, provides multimodal information of news articles on coronavirus, including textual, visual, temporal, and network information.
Abstract: First identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, the outbreak of COVID-19 has been declared as a global emergency in January, and a pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO) Along with this pandemic, we are also experiencing an "infodemic" of information with low credibility such as fake news and conspiracies In this work, we present ReCOVery, a repository designed and constructed to facilitate research on combating such information regarding COVID-19 We first broadly search and investigate ~2,000 news publishers, from which 60 are identified with extreme [high or low] levels of credibility By inheriting the credibility of the media on which they were published, a total of 2,029 news articles on coronavirus, published from January to May 2020, are collected in the repository, along with 140,820 tweets that reveal how these news articles have spread on the Twitter social network The repository provides multimodal information of news articles on coronavirus, including textual, visual, temporal, and network information The way that news credibility is obtained allows a trade-off between dataset scalability and label accuracy Extensive experiments are conducted to present data statistics and distributions, as well as to provide baseline performances for predicting news credibility so that future methods can be compared Our repository is available at this http URL

TL;DR: The purpose of the study was to determine whether and to what degree a Klout score can influence perceptions of credibility and demonstrate that the mock Twitter page with a high Kl out score was perceived as higher in dimensions of credibility than the identical mock Twitterpage with a moderate or low Klout scores.

TL;DR: The authors assesses how scientists think about science communication training based on the argument that such training represents an important tool in improving the quality of interactions between scientists and the public, and find that scientists rate message comprehension and credibility most favorably and give their lowest rating to training related to framing.
Abstract: This study assesses how scientists think about science communication training based on the argument that such training represents an important tool in improving the quality of interactions between scientists and the public. It specifically focuses on training related to five goals, including views about training to make science messages understandable, as well as attitude-focused training meant to build trust and credibility, to demonstrate that one listens to the public, to demonstrate that one cares about the public's views, and to frame messages to resonate with audiences' pre-existing values. The theory of planned behavior and procedural justice theory were used to identify potential predictors of views about training toward these goals. Results show that the scientists rate message comprehension and credibility most favorably and give their lowest rating to training related to framing. Regression analyses reveal that believing that public engagement can make a difference (external efficacy) and belief in the ethicality of specific goals were the best predictors of whether scientists saw value in goal-oriented training. The results suggest that communication trainers might benefit from emphasizing the effectiveness and ethicality of engagement activities if they want to attract scientists to communication training, and that more work may need to be done by professional organizations to help scientists consider the value of thinking about communication goals beyond the traditional focus on message comprehension. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
