The ongoing challenge of addressing misinformation, disinformation, and knowledge resistance has gained intense focus since the election of Donald Trump and the consequent damage to US research infrastructure and activity. Understanding how misinformation and disinformation are designed to influence community attitudes and beliefs is an important foundation from which to take positive action. As the global science community mobilizes to highlight the negative real-world impacts of misinformation, disinformation, and knowledge resistance-especially in the early days of the Trump presidency-this editorial presents three practical and positive actions that researchers can take, together with examples drawn from implementation and behavioral science: (1) Keep producing credible knowledge, (2) Make published research freely accessible, and (3) Use evidence-based research communication techniques.
自唐纳德·特朗普当选总统以及美国研究基础设施和活动随之遭受破坏以来，应对错误信息、虚假信息和知识抵制这一持续存在的挑战已成为人们高度关注的焦点。了解错误信息和虚假信息是如何被设计用来影响公众态度和信念，是采取积极行动的重要基础。随着全球科学界动员起来强调错误信息、虚假信息和知识抵制对现实世界的负面影响——尤其是在特朗普总统任期初期——这篇社论提出了研究人员可以采取的三项切实可行的积极行动，并列举了来自实施过程和行为科学的例子：（1）持续产出可靠的知识，（2）使已发表的研究免费可得，（3）运用基于证据的研究传播技巧。
