Abstract
How is science produced? How do scientists collaborate? Can innovation be nurtured? Can scientific breakthroughs be predicted? Quantitative science studies is a discipline that examines papers, collaborations, researchers, patents, and scientific events to address these questions. It designs indicators and applies models to analyze these elements. Initially devised to study science, some of these methods have since been applied in evaluating and monitoring scientific activities for effective management and strategic planning. This talk will provide an overview of the discipline, exploring its key research questions and current progress.
Series This talk is part of the ML@CL Ad-hoc Seminar Series series.
