The Knowledge Polity
"This chapter introduces our holistic view of knowledge production in sociology and political science. Enlarging our view beyond the individualistic publication pipeline metaphor, we press the conception of academics as citizens of a knowledge polity with rights and responsibilities. Knowledge production does not just mean research, but encompasses teaching, reviewing, blogging, commenting, and other activities, which signal its communal nature. We then advance an explanation for knowledge production that situates academics in institutional and social contexts - including the family - while maintaining individual agency. We search for inequalities by gender and racial/ethnic identification, but are careful to consider the changing compositions of political science and sociology (both are diversifying steadily) and different situations (e.g., faculty rank) when making comparisons. The chapter describes our PASS study, which sampled academic departments and surveyed 1,700 faculty in 2017. Respondent reports were linked with data on lifetime publications, Twitter activity and other data"--
The Production of Knowledge
A wide-ranging discussion of factors that impede the cumulation of knowledge in the social sciences, including problems of transparency, replication, and reliability. Rather than focusing on individual studies or methods, this book examines how collective institutions and practices have (often unintended) impacts on the production of knowledge.
Gendered academia
[Italiano]: Negli ultimi decenni, profonde trasformazioni hanno ridisegnato il mondo accademico e l’ambiente della ricerca. Le riforme delle strutture di finanziamento, della valutazione della ricerca e delle procedure di responsabilità stanno ancora ridisegnando le pratiche del lavoro accademico, ridefinendo i programmi di ricerca e determinando effetti rilevanti sui percorsi di carriera scientifica. Nonostante gli sforzi delle politiche europee verso lo sviluppo di una ricerca più responsabile ed inclusiva, i processi che emergono da queste trasformazioni dei contesti accademici stanno producendo nuove disuguaglianze e rafforzando quelle vecchie. Le nuove regole nel reclutamento e nell...
Digitální obrat v českých humanitních a sociálních vědách
Publikace prostřednictvím uceleného souboru mezioborově pojatých statí dokumentuje inovace, které tzv. digitální obrat přináší do práce českých sociálněvědních a humanitních badatelů. Rozvoj digitálních technologií totiž netransformuje pouze společnost a kulturu, ale mění i vědní obory, které se těmto oblastem lidského soužití věnují. Část studií se zabývá novými digitálními fenomény a jejich dopady na škálu problémů, kterými se sociální a humanitní vědy musí zabývat. Empiricky laděné kapitoly pak sledují jednotnou linii výkladu, v níž čtenářům nejprve představí jevy vymezené v tradiční oborové perspektivě a následně názorně předvedou uplatnění digitálních postupů, s jejichž pomocí lze zkoumanou oblast uchopit prostřednictvím počítačové analýzy. Kniha zůstává přístupná i pro čtenáře, kteří nemají předchozí znalosti programování a odborných digitálních aplikací, ale mají zájem seznámit se blíže se způsoby, jak zkoumat společnost a kulturu s využitím dat a počítačů.
Research Assessment in the Humanities
This book analyses and discusses the recent developments for assessing research quality in the humanities and related fields in the social sciences. Research assessments in the humanities are highly controversial and the evaluation of humanities research is delicate. While citation-based research performance indicators are widely used in the natural and life sciences, quantitative measures for research performance meet strong opposition in the humanities. This volume combines the presentation of state-of-the-art projects on research assessments in the humanities by humanities scholars themselves with a description of the evaluation of humanities research in practice presented by research fun...
