Communications and negotiations between institutional partners generate an overlay that increasingly reorganizes the underlying arrangements. The institutional layer can be considered as the retention mechanism of a developing system. For example, the national organization of the system of innovation has historically been important in determining competition. Reorganizations across industrial sectors and nation states, however, are induced by new technologiesŽ. biotechnology, ICT . The consequent transformations can be analyzed in terms of Ž. neo- evolutionary mechanisms. University research may function increasingly as a locus in the ``laboratory'' of such knowledge-intensive network transitions. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Scientometrics1

Abstract The paper provides an overview of the field of scientometrics, that is: the study of science, technology, and innovation from a quantitative perspective. We cover major historical milestones in the development of this specialism from the 1960s to today and discuss its relationship with the sociology of scientific knowledge, the library and information sciences, and science policy issues such as indicator development. The disciplinary organization of scientometrics is analyzed both conceptually and empirically. A state-of-the-art review of five major research threads is provided.

  • STS? by Loet Leydesdorff and Paul Wouters Report of A
    EASST Review: Volume 15(3) September 1996 Should Scientists Care about STS?; Trust in Numbers Quantitative Measuring or Qualitative Understanding: Is it possible to bridge the divide in STS? by Loet Leydesdorff and Paul Wouters Report of a Workshop at the University of Amsterdam, 21-24 May 1996. “Measuring is knowing” is a truism in the sciences. In the interdisciplinary field of science and technology studies (STS), however, a large gap exists between quantitative and qualitative approaches. There are a few exceptions, but most scholars restrict themselves to one of these repertoires. As a consequence, scientometric studies are sometimes sociologically naive while qualitative analyses often neglect possibilities to test their hypotheses. This divide - might it be coined a great divide in science and technology studies? - is visible in methodology sections of articles, in conference selections, in the composition of personal networks of STS scholars, and, lastly, in their citation behaviour. The quest for more integration between qualitative and quantitative perspectives was central to a workshop organized by the Network of European Centers in Science and Technology Studies (NECSTS). NECSTS has organized an annual series of ERASMUS workshops since 1992 designed to stimulate the vitality, social relevance, and intellectual coherence of the interdisciplinary field of science and technology studies (STS). Each of these workshops focuses on a specific specialty or discipline contributing to the wider field of study. Previous workshops have addressed “university- industry relations,” “public understanding of science,” “history of science and medicine,” etc. In stimulating discussions in working groups, those attending have ample opportunity to reflect on the usefulness of the pertinent approach for their own research.

  • Past Performance, Peer Review, and Project Selection: a Case Study in the Social and Behavioral Sciences1
    Past performance, peer review, and project selection: A case study in the social and behavioral sciences1 Peter van den Besselaar2 & Loet Leydesdorff3 Abstract Does past performance influence success in grant applications? In this study we test whether the grant allocation decisions of the Netherlands Research Council for the Economic and Social Sciences correlate with the past performances of the applicants in terms of publications and citations, and with the results of the peer review process organized by the Council. We show that the Council is successful in distinguishing grant applicants with above-average performance from those with below-average performance, but within the former group no correlation could be found between past performance and receiving a grant. When comparing the best performing researchers who were denied funding with the group of researchers who received it, the rejected researchers significantly outperformed the funded ones. Furthermore, the best rejected proposals score on average as high on the outcomes of the peer review process as the accepted proposals. Finally, we found that the Council under study successfully corrected for gender effects during the selection process. We explain why these findings may be more general than for this case only. However, if research councils are not able to select the ‘best’ researchers, perhaps they should reconsider their mission. In a final section with policy implications, we discuss the role of research councils at the level of the science system in terms of variation, innovation, and quality control. 1. Introduction Research councils organize selection processes based on a variety of grant proposals. This variety is generated by creative researchers who translate new ideas into project proposals for which they try to secure funding.

  • Downloads from Scopus Interactively
    Journal Maps, Interactive Overlays, and the Measurement of Interdisciplinarity on the Basis of Scopus Data (1996-2012) Accepted for publication in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) Loet Leydesdorff,a* Félix de Moya-Anegón,b and Vicente P. Guerrero-Botec Abstract Using Scopus data, we construct a global map of science based on aggregated journal-journal citations from 1996-2012 (N of journals = 20,554). This base map enables users to overlay downloads from Scopus interactively. Using a single year (e.g., 2012), results can be compared with mappings based on the Journal Citation Reports at the Web-of-Science (N = 10,936). The Scopus maps are more detailed at both the local and global levels because of their greater coverage, including, for example, the arts and humanities. The base maps can be interactively overlaid with journal distributions in sets downloaded from Scopus, for example, for the purpose of portfolio analysis. Rao-Stirling diversity can be used as a measure of interdisciplinarity in the sets under study. Maps at the global and the local level, however, can be very different because of the different levels of aggregation involved. Two journals, for example, can both belong to the humanities in the global map, but participate in different specialty structures locally. The base map and interactive tools are available online (with instructions) at http://www.leydesdorff.net/scopus_ovl.
