Synopsis
Excerpt from Using the Literature in the Study of Emerging Fields of Science and Technology
The pioneering effort of Cole and Eales was joined subsequently by Wilson and Fred, who published a Study in 1935 of the growth and development of research on the subject of nitrogen fixation by plants.2 It is clear that Wilson and Fred had an intuitive grasp of the value of the literature as something more than a means of communicating research results among sclcntlsts. Study of the literature as an entity they claim, should provide valuable information for the interpretation of past production and might afford some basis for prediction of future trends within a given field.3 Like their predecessors, Wilson and Fred showed empirical evidence of the cyclical nature of research within a field. Similarly.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique perspective on studying the emergence of new scientific fields using the published literature. The author analyzes the duration of researcher participation in a field through their 'contribution spans,' which measure the number of years between their first and last contribution to the published literature in a given field. The study of cochlear implants is used as an illustrative case, providing insights into factors that influence researcher longevity. The findings suggest that factors such as the size of the community, a researcher's collaborative network, and individual productivity play a significant role. The book's analysis offers a valuable approach to understanding the dynamics of research communities and the emergence of new fields, demonstrating the potential of using the published literature as a rich source of data for research analysis. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243902620_0
