摘要

背景:本文着眼于利用所谓的科学来源来支持或反对巴西COVID-19大流行的政治立场的话语。分析:作者分析了330多万条推文，根据语言规则进行了分类，这些推文来自与疫情有关的更广泛的推文数据库。该分析的重点是包含肯定，典故或质疑的推文，据称涉及科学研究和假设或权威来源，以使基于科学真理的立场合法化。结论和含义:研究表明，科学来源在很大程度上是在信息和虚假信息网络中被动员起来的，并且大量存在于反科学和否定主义的论点中。

Science For All? Relating Actors, Links, and Discourses with (Fake) Scientific Claims About COVID-19 on Twitter

Background: This article looks at discourses using alleged scientific sources to support or oppose political positions on the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Analysis: The authors analyzed more than 3.3 million tweets, sorted according to linguistic rules, from a broader database of tweets related to the pandemic. The focus of this analysis was tweets containing affirmations, allusions, or questionings allegedly referring to scientific studies and hypotheses or authoritative sources in order to legitimize a position as being based on scientific truth. Conclusion and implication: The study shows that scientific sources are largely mobilized in networks of information and disinformation and are heavily present in a vast proportion of anti-science and negationist arguments.
