Imagined communities: Reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism

We present VOSviewer, a freely available computer program that we have developed for constructing and viewing bibliometric maps. Unlike most computer programs that are used for bibliometric mapping, VOSviewer pays special attention to the graphical representation of bibliometric maps. The functionality of VOSviewer is especially useful for displaying large bibliometric maps in an easy-to-interpret way. The paper consists of three parts. In the first part, an overview of VOSviewer’s functionality for displaying bibliometric maps is provided. In the second part, the technical implementation of specific parts of the program is discussed. Finally, in the third part, VOSviewer’s ability to handle large maps is demonstrated by using the program to construct and display a co-citation map of 5,000 major scientific journals.

The dynamics of innovation: from national systems and "Mode" 2 to a triple helix of university-industry-government relations.

Abstract The Triple Helix of university–industry–government relations is compared with alternative models for explaining the current research system in its social contexts. 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 technologies (biotechnology, ICT). The consequent transformations can be analyzed in terms of (neo-)evolutionary mechanisms. University research may function increasingly as a locus in the “laboratory” of such knowledge-intensive network transitions.

Research policy must rise to a grand challenge

Western science has become epistemically and politically correct over the last two or three centuries (in the West, and then elsewhere). Its practical correctness has been underpinned by claims about utility, about technological and other goodies derived from science – a sort of internal cargo cult, but one which is coming under pressure in the risk society. Indigenous knowledge is becoming practically correct (as an as yet insufficiently tapped resource for development) and politically correct (cf. reconciliation). Is it now also epistemically correct? For that matter, how ‘correct’ is Western science here? I will use sociology of knowledge insights to address these questions, after outlining the structure of debate and practice on indigenous knowledge.
