In an age of fake-news, cynicism and conspiracy theorists, it is more important than ever to carefully consider the communication of research and the channels used. Exaggerated claims and undue reliance on un-peer-reviewed research can undermine crucial messaging while providing 'evidence' that may be used maliciously. Digital Science's tools provide evidence of the context of impact, and the broader impact of research, and this context provides crucial information when understanding and communicating the results of research.
