The Changing Frontier
In 1945, Vannevar Bush, founder of Raytheon and one-time engineering dean at MIT, delivered a report to the president of the United States that argued for the importance of public support for science, and the importance of science for the future of the nation. The report, Science: The Endless Frontier, set America on a path toward strong and well-funded institutions of science, creating an intellectual architecture that still defines scientific endeavor today. In The Changing Frontier, Adam B. Jaffe and Benjamin Jones bring together a group of prominent scholars to consider the changes in science and innovation in the ensuing decades. The contributors take on such topics as changes in the organization of scientific research, the geography of innovation, modes of entrepreneurship, and the structure of research institutions and linkages between science and innovation. An important analysis of where science stands today, The Changing Frontier will be invaluable to practitioners and policy makers alike.
Principles of Research Methodology and Ethics in Pharmaceutical Sciences
Pharmaceutical researchers are constantly looking for drug products, drug delivery systems and devices for improving the health of society. A scientific and systematic search for new knowledge requires a thorough understanding of research methods and hypothesis design. This volume presents pharmaceutical research through theoretical concepts, methodologies and ethical issues. It fulfils publication ethics course work requirements for students. Chapters have been designed to cater for the curriculum requirements of universities globally. This serves as a guide on how to apply concepts in designing experiments and transforming laboratory research into actual practice. Features: · Complete cov...
Knowledge Machines
An examination of the ways that digital and networked technologies have fundamentally changed research practices in disciplines from astronomy to literary analysis. In Knowledge Machines, Eric Meyer and Ralph Schroeder argue that digital technologies have fundamentally changed research practices in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Meyer and Schroeder show that digital tools and data, used collectively and in distributed mode—which they term e-research—have transformed not just the consumption of knowledge but also the production of knowledge. Digital technologies for research are reshaping how knowledge advances in disciplines that range from physics to literary analysis. M...
Evaluative Informetrics: The Art of Metrics-Based Research Assessment
We intend to edit a Festschrift for Henk Moed combining a “best of” collection of his papers and new contributions (original research papers) by authors having worked and collaborated with him. The outcome of this original combination aims to provide an overview of the advancement of the field in the intersection of bibliometrics, informetrics, science studies and research assessment.
Enlarging one's vision
Il processo di internazionalizzazione della ricerca negli ultimi anni ha subito una rapida accelerazione ed ha comportato una serie di innovazioni. Il volume fornisce una serie di indicazioni e strumenti, per facilitare l’acquisizione di una certa dimestichezza con tali processi: come partecipare a congressi rispondendo a call for paper, come pubblicare su riviste straniere, come trascorrere un periodo di studio all’estero e via dicendo. Il libro raccoglie 15 saggi brevi, chiari, concreti e critici al contempo, opera di studiosi già noti e altri più giovani, tutti esperti dell’argomento (G.Bandini, A.Barausse, P.Bianchini, M.Brunelli A.Cagnolati, L.Cappelli, D.Caroli, D.De Salvo, A.Debè, J.L.Hernández Huerta, F.Loparco, J.Meda, E.Patrizi. S.Polenghi, F.Pruneri).
Corpus Linguistics. Volume 2
In vielen Bereichen der Linguistik werden Textkorpora, Sprachkorpora oder multimodale Korpora heute als empirische Basis verwendet. Aufbauend auf Methoden des 19. Jahrhunderts haben sich dabei mit dem Aufkommen von elektronischen Korpora seit den 1940ern neue Standards für linguistische Annotation und Vorverarbeitung sowie für qualitative und quantitative Untersuchungen entwickelt. Das Handbuch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über Geschichte, Methoden und Anwendungen der Korpuslinguistik. Die einzelnen Überblicks- und Spezialartikel sind von Experten und Expertinnen der jeweiligen Gebiete geschrieben. Dabei wird auf klare und umfassende Darstellung, eine gute Vernetzung zwischen den Artikel und weiterführende Hinweise Wert gelegt.
New Directions of STEM Research and Learning in the World Ranking Movement
This volume analyzes the dominance of STEM fields in various university rankings and the reasons why many governments in the world disproportionately give value to STEM fields. Secondly, although there is general agreement that STEM fields are important, chapter authors also examine the role of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches for a revised STEM education as well as implications for the future. The book presents examples from the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.
The Handbook of Journal Publishing
The Handbook of Journal Publishing is a comprehensive reference work written by experienced professionals, covering all aspects of journal publishing, both online and in print. Journals are crucial to scholarly communication, but changes in recent years in the way journals are produced, financed, and used make this an especially turbulent and challenging time for journal publishers - and for authors, readers, and librarians. The Handbook offers a thorough guide to the journal publishing process, from editing and production through marketing, sales, and fulfilment, with chapters on management, finances, metrics, copyright, and ethical issues. It provides a wealth of practical tools, including checklists, sample documents, worked examples, alternative scenarios, and extensive lists of resources, which readers can use in their day-to-day work. Between them, the authors have been involved in every aspect of journal publishing over several decades and bring to the text their experience working for a wide range of publishers in both the not-for-profit and commercial sectors.
