Description
Global Mega-science Universities, Research Collaborations, and Knowledge Production explores the origins of unprecedented scientific knowledge growth over the past hundred and twenty years. By integrating sociological and historical approaches with unique scientometric data, the authors argue that the university-science model is at the heart of this phenomenon.
The symbiotic relationship between higher education and science has been instrumental in building the age of global mega-science. This book examines how universities facilitate the emergence of a knowledge society through research collaborations among networked scientists worldwide.
