Summary

The consideration of the scientific Journalism as a modality of information makes it necessary to conceptualise its scope: the object and function (its nature). In contemporary society qualified information of the knowledge of reality that originates from various scientific disciplines turns out to be indispensable for the citizens to participate in a democratic and social control of technoscientific applications. Complementarily to the philosophical dimension of knowledge, this will allow us to complete our grasp of reality. Research lines on scientific Journalism reveal the diverse approaches and developments it has had. Some of such approached have been covered in the Doctoral Theses read in Spanish Universities.
