Re-Thinking Science: Knowledge and the Public in an Age of Uncertainty

Mapping of science and technology can be done at different levels of aggregation, using a variety of methods. In this paper, we propose a method in which title words are used as indicators for the content of a research topic, and cited references are used as the context in which words get their meaning. Research topics are represented by sets of papers that are similar in terms of these word-reference combinations. In this way we use words without neglecting differences and changes in their meanings. The method has several advantages, such as high coverage of publications. As an illustration we apply the method to produce knowledge maps of information science.

Introduction The production of knowledge is dominantly organized in disciplines. At the same time, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research is developing at the boundaries of the scientific disciplines. In this paper we compare disciplinary and non-disciplinary forms of knowledge production in terms of communication patterns. We will suggest an indicator for measuring the degree of interdisciplinarity, and this allows us to evaluate the development of interdisciplinary fields. The indicator is based on the patterns and intensity of the knowledge streams between research fields. The communication of knowledge within a disciplinary field is expected to differ from the communication of knowledge within a non-disciplinary field. The same holds for the communication between a disciplinary and a nondisciplinary research field with their respective scientific environments. Clarifying these patterns of knowledge communication improves our understanding of the nature and dynamics of non-disciplinary research, and we will illustrate that interdisciplinary fields develop towards disciplinary patterns.

Scientific knowledge dynamics and relatedness in biotech cities

Offshore wind has the potential of becoming an important pillar of the future European energy system. It can contribute to policy objectives on climate change, energy security, green growth and social progress. However, the large potential of offshore wind does not automatically lead to a large share in future energy systems; neither does the emergent stage of development of the technology. Recent insights in innovation studies suggest that the success chances of technological innovations are, to a large extent, determined by how the surrounding system—the innovation system—is built up and how it functions. In this paper we assess the offshore wind innovation systems of four countries: Denmark, the UK, the Netherlands and Germany with the objective to provide recommendations for strengthening the overall European offshore wind innovation system. We use the Technological Innovation System (TIS) approach to analyse the system in 2011. Based on the analysis we identify a number of challenges that the European offshore wind sector faces. Some of them include: a serious deficiency of engineers; fragmented policies and poor alignment of national regulatory frameworks; cost of the technology and limited grid infrastructure. Since the problems hinder the entire system development we call for a systemic policy instrument that would support the innovation system around this technology and contribute to its wider diffusion in Europe.
