We review recent work on the relationship between science rejection and conspiracy beliefs. We distinguish between conspiracy beliefs about science specifically and the link between general conspiracist worldviews and science rejection. The first imply the scientific community as the center of a conspiratorial endeavor to misrepresent scientific findings. We outline several potential contributors to these beliefs: science is a social enterprise; its policy implications can clash with deeply held personal beliefs; science is inherently uncertain. Second, more general conspiracist thinking and worldviews also contribute to science rejection, for example in the domains of climate change, vaccination and genetic modification. This could be exacerbated by several cognitive biases associated with conspiratorial thinking. Finally, we briefly review pathways to curb (conspiratorial) science rejection.

我们回顾了最近关于科学拒绝和阴谋信念之间关系的工作。我们特别区分关于科学的阴谋信念和一般阴谋论世界观与科学拒绝之间的联系。第一个暗示科学界是阴谋歪曲科学发现的中心。我们概述了这些信念的几个潜在贡献者：科学是一项社会企业；它的政策含义可能与根深蒂固的个人信念发生冲突；科学本质上是不确定的。其次，更普遍的阴谋论思维和世界观也会导致科学排斥，例如在气候变化、疫苗接种和基因改造等领域。与阴谋思维相关的几种认知偏见可能会加剧这种情况。最后，
