Abstract: Based on an empirical study conducted among 250 academic scientists of India in chemi cal sciences and technology, this article is an attempt to map out only the objective aspects of the phenomenon under investigation, that is, quality research performance among sci entists. In the process, the article examines several hypotheses pertaining to the relation ship between quality research performance (dependent variable) and its empirical and objective predictors (independent variables). That apart, it also examines the well-known Ortega Hypothesis in the sociology of science. Derived from the body of published litera ture, the following is the set of independent variables being examined: (a) type of institu tion the scientist belonged to; (b) research environment at the centre/department; (c) reward system in science; (d) diversity in research activities; (e) motivation; (f) prestige of the graduate school attended; and (g) total quantity performance. All of the above inde pendent variables have been found ...

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of unique social phenomenon catching up our academic fascination, the authors tried to characterize the phenom-enon of people's science movement in India and tried to locate such a phenomenon in its socio-historical contexts.
Abstract: It hardly needs emphasis that People’s Science Movements (PSMs) in India have been very unique and such movements are not witnessed yet elsewhere although science popularization / science com-munication movements were witnessed in USA, Europe and Australia. As a study of unique social phenomenon catching up our academic fascination, the paper fi rst tried to characterize the phenom-enon of PSM; second, tried to locate such a phenomenon in its socio-historical contexts. Lastly, the phenomenon is empirically studied through the analysis of fi ve extensive case studies of various types of People’s Science Movement Organizations (PSMOs) from the view point of social movement per-spective, i. e. Resource mobilization theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the existing literature on Grassroots Innovation (GI) and identify the main theories, characteristics, stakeholders, challenges, diffusion, and potential of GI, among others.
Abstract: Grassroots innovation (GI) is an important strand for cleaner production and sustainable development. Studies have explored various facets of grassroots innovation. Despite two decades of research, however, there is no systematic review of the GI literature. The objective of this study is to synthesize the existing literature on GI. It identifies the main theories, characteristics, stakeholders, challenges, diffusion, and potential of GI, among others. The study points out how GI contributes to sustainability. It shows that only a few scholars have a significant contribution, which limits the broad expansion of the GI discipline. Moreover, GI literature has not been linked with the mainstream innovation literature. Even though GI is significant for sustainable development, its impact is limited in reality.
