Abstract

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Hedge Words Scientific Assertions Semantic Predications Uncertainty Cues
A conceptualization of research on uncertainties in scientific knowledge is presented. Several common sources of uncertainties in scientific literature are characterized, notably, retracted scientific publications, hedging, and conflicting findings. Semantically equivalent uncertainty cue words and their connections with semantic predications are identified and visualized as the first step towards a systematic study of uncertainties in accessing and communicating the status of scientific assertions.
