The process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realized.
An act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practicing ideas.
Aristotle further distinguished between eupraxia (εὐπραξία, "good praxis") and dyspraxia (δυσπραξία, "bad praxis").
Need for more longitudinal studies.
Fragmented and changing
publication patterns.
Need for analytical innovation.
Changing information behaviour and attitude-formation: Systemic changes in the digitalised media environments are not yet sufficiently understood.
Research dominated by Public Understanding and media studies.
Rapidly changing media systems: Digitisation brings about not only new means and tactics but even entirely new actors in communication.
Research / practice disconnect

Dominance of authors from North America and Europe.
Prevalence of male authors, especially corresponding authors.
Evaluation of policy impacts: How to measure and compare the impact of communication on science and innovation policy and regulation is another research gap.
Rare disciplinary contexts and some life sciences focus.
Research agenda driven by specific issues and controversies.
Communication Governance: Research funders increasingly expect or even require specific forms of communication as part of their funding and/or assessment of proposals and results.
Significant publics missing from science communication research.

A note for the Trekkies: “Praxis” was the name of a Klingon moon, destroyed in the 1991 science fiction film “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” (the last one featuring the entire cast of the original series).
Picture: USS Excelsior weathers the shock wave generated by the explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis. This special effect (the Praxis Effect) has since been used in countless action films.
