The third mission in eight cases: How Triple Helix dynamics vary across scientific fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the consequences of institutional changes on academic research practices in eight fields of natural science. We analyze the similarities and differences among the dynamics of these different fields and reflect on possible explanations for the changes observed. This study shows that the increasing pressure for productivity, as measured in bibliometric terms, can counteract the pressure for practical utility. Moreover our work indicates that the dynamics of science vary much more across scientific fields than most literature suggests.

In many countries, the product of these two strands has been increasingly termed ‘continuing professional development’...

The first deb...
