Dean Keith Simonton University of California, Davis Galileo Galilei’s celebrated contributions to astronomy are used as case studies in the psychology of scientific discovery. Particular attention was devoted to the involvement of foresight, insight, oversight, and hindsight. These four mental acts concern, in divergent ways, the relative degree of “sightedness” in Galileo’s discovery process and accordingly have implications for evaluating the blind-variation and selective-retention (BVSR) theory of creativity and discovery. Scrutiny of the biographical and historical details indicates that Galileo’s mental processes were far less sighted than often depicted in retrospective accounts. Hindsight biases clearly tend to underline his insights and foresights while ignoring his very frequent and substantial oversights. Of special importance was how Galileo was able to create a domain-specific expertise where no such expertise previously existed—in part by exploiting his extensive knowledge and skill in the visual arts. Galileo’s success as an astronomer was founded partly and “blindly” on his artistic avocations.

Вывод: Кто такой инженер? И что такое творчество? Инженер от лат. «ingenium» означает способность, изобретательность. Инженер имеет дело с разработкой и внедрением инноваций и для этого ему необходим творческий как подход как основа будущей деятельности. Творчество – создание чего-то нового, которое непременно разрешает определенную проблему. Отсюда видно, что эти два понятия тесно связаны.

The emergence during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries of the idea and practice of “open science" was a distinctive and vital organizational aspect of the Scientific Revolution. It represented a break from the previously dominant ethos of secrecy in the pursuit of Nature’s Secrets, to a new set of norms, incentives, and organizational structures that reinforced scientific researchers' commitments to rapid disclosure of new knowledge.

THE MYTH OF THE SOLE INVENTORt Mark A. Lemley* The theory of patent law is based on the idea that a lone genius can solve problems that stump the experts, and that the lone genius will do so only if properly incented. But the canonical story of the lone genius inventor is largely a myth. Surveys of hundreds of significant new technologies show that almost all of them are invented simultaneously or nearly simultaneous- ly by two or more teams working independently of each other. Invention appears in significant part to be a social, not an individual, phenomenon. The result is a real problem for classic theories of patent law. Our domi- nant theory of patent law doesn't seem to explain the way we actually implement that law. Maybe the problem is not with our current patent law, but with our current patent theory.
  • Science and Its Significant Other: Representing the Humanities in Bibliometric Scholarship

    Science and Its Significant Other: Representing the Humanities in Bibliometric Scholarship

    Science and its significant other: Representing the humanities in bibliometric scholarship Thomas Franssen & Paul Wouters (CWTS, Leiden University, The Netherlands) 1. introduction Bibliometrics offers a particular representation of science (Wouters, 1999; Nicolaisen 2007). Through bibliometric methods a bibliometrician will always highlight particular elements of publications, and through these elements operationalize particular representations of science, while obscuring other possible representations from view. Understanding bibliometrics as representation implies that a bibliometric analysis is always performative; a bibliometric analysis brings a particular representation of science into being that potentially influences the science system itself (e.g. Wyatt et al., 2017). The performative effects of bibliometrics have been studied primarily in relation to individual researchers' behavior and how pervasive representations (and particular indicators) might influence this (De Rijcke et al., 2016). How bibliometrics influence the ways we think about, compare and contrast different scientific domains in general has however not been systematically analyzed. The pervasiveness of bibliometric representations of science in the contemporary science system warrants such a study. Moreover, a systematic, historical view of the development of bibliometrics might also offer this scientific community a better understanding of itself as well as the future of the discipline. We are in particular interested in the ways the humanities have been represented throughout the history of bibliometrics, often in comparison to other scientific domains or to a general notion of ‘the sciences’. Earlier reviews of bibliometric literature pertaining to the humanities exist (Nederhof, 2006; also part 2.3 in Moed, 2006; Huang & Chang, 2008; Ardanuy, 2013) but have been predominantly methodological in nature. They ask what bibliometric methods are suitable to use for research evaluation in the humanities (and social sciences) but do not engage with the question of representation.

The ‘philosophical matrix’ moulded by logical empiricism and 8 analytical tradition has been challenged by the ‘friends of discovery’, who opened up the way to a rational investigation of 9 discovery. This has produced not only new theories of discovery (like the deductive, cognitive, and evolutionary), but also 10 new ways of practicing it in a rational and more systematic way. Ampliative rules, methods, heuristic procedures and even a 11 logic of discovery have been investigated, extracted, reconstructed and refned. The outcome is a ‘scientifc discovery revo- 12 lution’: not only a new way of looking at discovery, but also a construction of tools that can guide us to discover something 13 new. This is a very important contribution of philosophy of science to science, as it puts the former in a position not only to 14 interpret what scientists do, but also to provide and improve tools that they can employ in their activity. 15 Keywords Logic · Discovery · Heuristics · Reasoning · Psychology · Algorithm 16 1 Scientifc Discovery: The Matrix 2006, xii), and they are essential for discovery.

    The Matthew Effect in Empirical Data

    The Matthew effect in empirical data Matjazˇ Perc∗ Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Maribor, Koroskaˇ cesta 160, SI-2000 Maribor, Slovenia The Matthew effect describes the phenomenon that in societies the rich tend to get richer and the potent even more powerful. It is closely related to the concept of preferential attachment in network science, where the more connected nodes are destined to acquire many more links in the future than the auxiliary nodes. Cumulative ad- vantage and success-breads-success also both describe the fact that advantage tends to beget further advantage. The concept is behind the many power laws and scaling behaviour in empirical data, and it is at the heart of self-organization across social and natural sciences. Here we review the methodology for measuring preferential attachment in empirical data, as well as the observations of the Matthew effect in patterns of scientific collabora- tion, socio-technical and biological networks, the propagation of citations, the emergence of scientific progress and impact, career longevity, the evolution of common English words and phrases, as well as in education and brain development. We also discuss whether the Matthew effect is due to chance or optimisation, for example related to homophily in social systems or efficacy in technological systems, and we outline possible directions for future research.

    Multiple Independent Inventions of a Non‐Functional Technology Combinatorial Descriptive Names in Botany, 1640‐1830

    PEER‐REVIEWED Multiple Independent Inventions of a Non‐functional Technology Combinatorial Descriptive Names in Botany, 1640‐1830 Sara Scharf* Abstract Historians and sociologists of science usually discuss multiple independent inventions or discoveries in terms of priority disputes over successful inventions or discoveries. But what should we make of the multiple invention of a technology that not only gave rise to very few priority disputes, but never worked and was rejected by each inventor’s contemporaries as soon as it was made public? This paper examines seven such situations in the history of botany. I devote particular attention to the inventors’ cultural and educational backgrounds, focussing in particular on the scholastic education most of them shared, through which they would have become familiar with Llullian combinatorics and the mnemonic names used to distinguish syllogistic moods. I also examine their conceptions of the roles of nomenclature in botany, their assumptions about how memory works, their awareness of other similar efforts, and their contemporaries’ reactions to their proposals. I suggest that an evolutionary epistemology of invention may be the middle ground between the chaos of multiple paths suggested by many microhistories and the overly deterministic view that macrohistorical studies often present. Finally, I reflect on the impacts that a consideration of multiple independent inventions of failed technologies may have on current approaches to the history and sociology of science.

Several of these conceptualizations and models have visual manifestations supporting the combination and comparison of theories and approaches developed in different disciplines of science. The term ―model‖ and ―conceptualization‖ has diverse definitions in different disciplines and use contexts. In this issue, ‗conceptualization‘ refers to an unifying mental framework that identifies the boundaries of the system or object under study, its basic building blocks, interactions among building blocks, basic mechanisms of growth and change, and existing laws (static and dynamic). The term ‗model‘ refers to a precise description of a system or object under study in a formal language, e.g., using mathematical equations or computational algorithms. An older more comprehensive definition of ‗science‘ using a description by Cohen ―… in its oldest and widest sense the term science (like the German word Wissenschaft) denotes all ordered and reliable knowledge—so that a philologist or a critical historian can truly be called scientific …‖ (Cohen, 1933).
