Abstract
RESUMO O texto da divulgação científica lança mão de recursos discursivos variados para facilitar a compreensão de certas noções científicas pelo público não iniciado. O objetivo do presente estudo é evidenciar se, de fato, o recurso da modalização autonímica é um vetor da heterogeneidade discursiva nos textos divulgação científica e avaliar em que proporção ela aparece nos textos escritos por jornalistas da Folha de S. Paulo e de agências de notícia internacionais. Para tanto, empreendeu-se a análise discursiva de textos publicados nas sessões Equilíbrio & Saúde e Ciência, do site da Folha de S. Paulo. Surpreendentemente, verificou-se que a modalização autonímica é usada em igual proporção nos textos de jornalistas do Folha de S. Paulo e de agências de notícias, sugerindo um nivelamento da informação científica capaz de apagar as diferenças locais e globais nos modos de produção da notícia.

Paulo Online and news agency can reveal standardization on the treatment given to information in order to erase differences in the production of science dissemination texts
Summary
The news that Brazilian scientific production has increased above the global average in recent years has been met with much enthusiasm, by the local scientific community and by Brazilian media outlets. The extent to which national newspapers, through their journalists, have been able to establish a more refined dialogue with the Brazilian public (increasingly interested in science news), remains an open question. This study aims to shed light on the activity of the journalists responsible for science coverage in Brazil and the world, seen as crucial agents in the fabric of popular scientific texts. To this end, it seeks to compare texts produced by journalists from domestic and international news agency in order to establish the linguistic-discursive indices that have been used and that would, at least in principle, be able to highlight the marked heterogeneity and shown heterogeneity in science dissemination
