Abstract Review articles are an often neglected genre in scholarly communication. Though there was intense discussion about review scientometrics the 1970s and 1980s, we find less studies devoted to this within last 20 years. Yet, recent discussions other fields, such as linguistics, sociology or medicine imply that part of important debates problems research academia, quality transparency. Against background, purpose paper is developments for study beyond, discuss theoretical, conceptual...
This paper analyses the relation between visions and real technology developments in debate on converging technologies (CT). Based analysis of main documents CT debate, a structuring into eight application areas is advanced. The development are described more detail. shows that convergence actually happening different fields but research most does not explicitly refer to concept. We also found that, within respective fields, distance quite different. In field brain enhancement, one prominent...
Translational research (TR) can be viewed as a prominent concept that reflects expectations of societal relevance and has become an important issue in science policy. This article analyses the framings TR policy discourse by comparing papers USA some European countries. Problem frames favor are interpreted expressions specific conceptions science, being either organizational or professional. Based on qualitative content analysis, different documents relating to between 2003 2013 Europe...
Cluster policies are but one of the most well-known policy tools tosteer innovation in realm science and technology policy. While there is much research on effects cluster based funding for scholarly strategies, little said about its emergence, legitimation situatedness societal discourses professional practices. This article applies an 'instrument constituencies' perspective innovation. Drawing case Germany, it argued that these instruments not only legitimated by academic literature their...
This article deals with expectation dynamics in the field of synthetic biology. The draws on scholarly review articles as main material, complemented by expert interviews conducted scholars from field. aim is to explore how expectations change over time and they are used justify move Drawing conceptual advances sociology expectations, I show increasingly linked at different levels (the landscape, sector, niche level) support among audiences. analysis shows that, while early period supported...
The concept of epistemic breadth the work a researcher refers to scope their knowledge claims, as reflected in published research reports. Studies have been hampered by lack validated measure concept. Here we introduce space approach measurement and propose use semantic similarity network an author's publication record operationalize measure. In this approach, each paper has its own location common abstract vector based on content. Proximity corresponds thematic publications. Candidate...
The growing dissatisfaction with the traditional scholarly communication process and publishing practices as well increasing usage acceptance of ICT Web 2.0 technologies in research have resulted proliferation alternative review, bibliometric methods. EU-funded project OpenUP addresses key aspects challenges currently transforming science landscape aspires to come up a cohesive framework for review-disseminate-assess phases life cycle that is fit support promote open science. objective this...
Novel application fields at the interstices between nanoscience, biotechnology, cognitive science and Computer Sciences collected under new umbrella term “Converging Technologies” raised public political awareness. Efforts have been made to further strengthen interdisciplinary research in some of these respective fields. Nevertheless, it is unclear as whether technologies can be shaped regulated, given their far reaching social ethical implications (Nordmann 2007; Grunwald Hogle 2005). In...
Many journals now rely on editorial management systems, which are supposed to support the administration and decision making of editors, while aiming at process communication faster more transparent both reviewers authors. Yet, little is known about how these infrastructures support, stabilize, transform or change existing practices. Research suggests that systems as digital adapted local needs scholarly reflect main realms activities. Recently, it has been established in a minimal case,...
