Multi-organizational collaborations are increasingly important incontemporary science, but their formative processes have beenneglected by scholars in the social studies of science. Based onan examination of 53 collaborations in physics and relateddisciplines, we have found five types of formations.Collaborations that encountered greater difficulties in formingbecame more formal in their organization and management. 相似文献

For decades, debates over medical curriculum reform have centred on the role of science in medical education, but the meaning
of ‘science’ in this domain is vague and the persistence of the debate has not been explained. Following Bourdieu, this paper
examines struggles over legitimate knowledge and the forms of capital associated with science in contemporary UK medical education.
Data are presented from a study of two UK medical schools, one with a traditional, science-oriented curriculum, another with
an integrated curriculum. Constructions of legitimate knowledge were explored at both schools through six months participant
observation, interviews with faculty members (n=15) and students (n=37) and documentary analysis. Findings show that medical
schools compete for both scientific and clinical capital, but ultimately science has greater legitimacy. ‘Science’ is defined
in accordance with the structure of the traditional curriculum and has become a symbolic resource – a mark of distinction
for both medical schools and medical students – which is equated with clinical competence. The significance of science is
circumscribed by the medical education field, yet the struggles for scientific capital there have ramifications beyond medical
education itself. It is argued that Bourdieu’s concepts are particularly useful tools for studying the meanings that science
takes on outside of the scientific field. 相似文献

The past three decades have witnessed a sharp reduction in the rate of growth of public research funding, and sometimes an actual decline in its level. In many countries, this decline has been accompanied by substantial changes in the ways that such funding has been allocated and monitored. In addition, the institutions governing how research is directed and conducted underwent significant reforms. In this paper we examine how these changes have affected scientists’ research goals and practices by comparing the development of three scientific innovations (one each in physics, biology, and educational research) in four European countries, namely Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Sweden. We find that the increased number of actors exercising authority over research goals does not necessarily lead to a greater diversity of interests funding research. A narrowing of goals and frameworks is especially probable when the increasing importance of external project funding is combined with reductions in state financing of universities and public research institutes. Finally, the growing standardisation of project cycle times and resource packages across funding agencies and scientific communities make it more difficult for researchers to pursue projects that deviate from these norms, especially, if they challenge mainstream beliefs and assessment criteria. 相似文献

In Portugal, research productivity is nowadays essential for the positive assessment of academics, research units and study programmes. Academic inbreeding has been highlighted in the literature as one of the factors influencing research productivity. This paper tests the hypothesis that inbreeding is detrimental for research productivity, measured through the number of publications listed in Scopus. The study resorts to a database provided by the national Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education (A3ES), which comprises all academics teaching in all Portuguese institutions in the academic year 2015/2016. The sample selected for the analysis contains all academics with a PhD in Sociology (N=289). The study uses a special regression model for the analysis: the negative binomial logit hurdle. This was necessary given the large amount of academics with no publications or citations in Scopus, which were the dependent variables to assess research performance. The analysis provides separate results for the probability of inbred academics of having no papers/citations, and for the probability of producing more papers/citations than the non-inbred. Findings suggest that academic inbreeding, defined at the institutional level, has no negative effect on research productivity, contrary to what was expected. However, when defined at the national level, academic inbreeding is detrimental for the recognition and the impact of research: academics with a foreign PhD are more likely to have citations compared to academics who obtained their PhD in Portugal. A tendency was also noted that inbreeding might be more detrimental to research productivity in faculties of Economics than in Social Sciences and Humanities. 相似文献
