Resource Dependence and Indirect Power
This paper examines how a highly regulated research funding stream to universities is influenced by representative politics. We apply Resource Dependence Theory and indirect power arguments to the US federal Facilities and Administrative (F&A) cost reimbursement system. We measure a university’s indirect power over its cognizant agency through state-level congressional representation and predict the F&A rate negotiated between the university and …
Advancing multi-use in offshore wind energy planning
Offshore wind energy development has been accelerating at a rapid pace around the world to address renewable energy goals. As a new use of ocean space, offshore wind developments can create spatial and temporal conflicts with existing ocean uses. The concept of multi-use, which spans from promoting co-existence of uses to identifying synergies between uses, has become an important framework for marine spatial planning and offshore renewable energ…
On the shoulders of fallen giants
Citations are increasingly being used to evaluate institutional and individual performance, suggesting a need for rigorous research to understand what behaviors citations are reflecting and what these behaviors mean for the institution of science. To overcome challenges in accurately representing the citation generation process, we use postretraction citations to test competing theories under two different citation search processes, empirically t…
Incorporating Baseline Outcome Data in Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis of Non-randomized Studies
ANCOVA provided the most precise estimates at both study and meta-analytic level and thus seems preferable in the meta-analysis of IPD from non-randomized studies. For the studies that were well-balanced between groups, change score, and ANCOVA performed similarly
Rethinking Science as a Vocation
One hundred years ago, in his lecture Science as a Vocation, Max Weber prefigured a transition from science as a calling to science as bureaucratically organized work. He argued that a calling for science is critical for sustaining scientific work. Using Weber's arguments for science as a vocation as a lens, in this paper, we discuss whether a calling for science may become difficult to maintain in increasingly bureaucratized scientific work-and …
What Is the Research Impact of (The Ideal Of) Scientific Truth
Aim. This paper elucidates how the emergent impact agenda is slowly but surely changing the normative framework of modern Western science. Method. The paper investigates conceptually the implications of the impact agenda for the research process. We outline a chronology around the evaluation regime of research impact and identify the causal mechanisms that change the disciplinary structure of the research ecosystem. We draw upon a sociological mo…
Investigating Potential Dose–Response Relationships between Vitamin D Status and Cognitive Performance
Low vitamin D status has been linked to adverse cognitive outcomes in older adults. However, relationships at higher levels remain uncertain. We aimed to clarify patterns of association between vitamin D status and cognitive performance, using flexible regression methods, in 4872 middle- to older-aged adults (2678 females) from the Busselton Healthy Ageing Study. Cross-sectional associations of serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and perf…
Prevalence and patterns of multimorbidity in Australian baby boomers
Multimorbidity is common among middle-aged adults from a general population. Some conditions associated with ageing such as arthritis, bowel disease and depression-anxiety co-occur in clinically distinct patterns and at higher prevalence than expected by chance. These findings may inform further studies into shared biological and environmental causes of co-occurring conditions of ageing. Recognition of distinct patterns of multimorbidity may aid …
A bibliometric measure of translational science
A Fractured Profession
Professor Johnson’s very readable volume addresses debates about university-industry linkages from the under-explored perspective of the moral orders and identity work of academic scientists. The study is based on interviews with 61 chemists, biologists, chemical engineers and bio-engineers working in academic departments at elite research universities (two public and two private) characterized by having at least some scientists actively engaged …
Authorship Norms and Project Structures in Science
Scientific authorship has become a contested terrain in contemporary science. Based on a survey of authors across fields, we measure the likelihood of specialist authors (sometimes called "guest" authors): people who only made specialized contributions, such as data, materials, or funding; and "nonauthor collaborators" (sometimes referred to as "ghost" authors): those who did significant work on the project but do not appear as authors, across di…
Social Ecology and Crime
The area of social ecology and crime encompasses a wide swath of research within criminology that focuses on the association between place of crime, delinquency, and victimization. The approach applies both positivist and classical conceptions of offending and their relationship within urban settings. Historically, theoretical conceptions of social disorganization have driven the growth of social ecological perspectives. In more recent years neoc…
Academic Entrepreneurship and Exchange of Scientific Resources
This study uses a sample of Japanese university scientists in life and materials sciences to examine how academic entrepreneurship has affected the norms and behaviors of academic scientists regarding sharing scientific resources. Results indicate that high levels of academic entrepreneurship in a scientific field are associated with less reliance on the gift-giving form of sharing (i.e., generalized exchange) traditionally recommended by scienti…
A typology of 'innovation districts
In this article, we engage the question of regional resilience theoretically and empirically. Our theoretical approach merges discussions of regional development in evolutionary economic geography (primarily UK based) with regional resilience in urban planning (primarily US based) using Markusen's industrial districts as a framework for analysis (1996). We use data on ‘triadic’ patents (USA, Japan and Europe) to measure regional innovation, both …
For Money or Glory? Commercialization, Competition, and Secrecy in the Entrepreneurial University
Scholars have grown concerned that the commercialization of academic science is increasing secrecy at the expense of cooperation and information sharing. Using data from comparable surveys of academic scientists in three fields (experimental biology, mathematics, and physics), we test whether scientists have become more competitive and more secretive over the last 30 years. We also use the recent survey to test a multivariate model of the effects…
Collaboration Structure, Communication Media, and Problems in Scientific Work Teams
This article reviews the structural characteristics of work organizations that are likely to increase collaboration problems and tests the relationships between collaboration structure and problems using data from a survey of scientists in four fields (experimental biology, mathematics, physics, and sociology). Two groups of problems are identified: problems of coordination and misunderstandings and problems of cultural differences and informatio…

Links and Impacts
In this paper, we use data from the Carnegie Mellon Survey on industrial R&D to evaluate for the U.S. manufacturing sector the influence of “public”(i.e., university and government R&D lab) research on industrial R&D, the role that public research plays in industrial R&D, and the pathways through which that effect is exercised. We find that public research is critical to industrial R&D in a small number of industries and importantly affects indus…
Protecting Their Intellectual Assets
Based on a survey questionnaire administered to 1478 R&D labs in the U.S. manufacturing sector in 1994, we find that firms typically protect the profits due to invention with a range of mechanisms, including patents, secrecy, lead time advantages and the use of complementary marketing and manufacturing capabilities. Of these mechanisms, however, patents tend to be the least emphasized by firms in the majority of manufacturing industries, and secr…

The Effects of Job Characteristics on Active Effort at Work
Building on previous research on worker extra-role effort, the authors focus their analysis on the correlates of one subset of behaviors that they call active effort. The authors argue for an exchange model, with organizations offering intrinsic, social, and material inducements in exchange for active effort by workers. Using data from a telephone survey of 270 employed adults in a large midwestern metropolitan area, the authors test a model that…
Computer Networks and Scientific Work
This paper explores the relations between social context and technology by studying the incorporation of computer mediated communication (CMC) across several fields. Based on interviews with 67 scientists in four fields, we find that computer network use differs substantially by field, and we explain these differences in terms of the different social structures and work organizations of each field. The results suggest that fields that consist of …
The Virtual College
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) has become an integral part of scientific work. Based on interviews with academic scientists in four fields, we discuss the impacts of CMC on the organization of scientific work. We find evidence that CMC may be leading to new collaboration patterns, more communication within collaborations, and peripherality effects. However, these effects are heavily mediated by the nature of access and the social context i…

Technological Change and the Division of Labor
This article examines the effects of technological changes on the division of labor and skill requirements for a craft occupation (meatcutter) in a service industry (retail food). The article defines skill as a multidimensional concept with three components (technical competence, scarcity, and high status) and emphasizes the importance of contextual factors on deskilling. The analysis suggests that deskilling is not a linear function of technolog…

The Social Context of Technological Change
Technological innovations result not just from advances in science, but also social system reorganization. Reorganization is problematic, as various organizations and constituents pursue their interests and causes. Expanding on previous work in the economics and sociology of innovation, three cases from the retail food industry (frozen meat, boxed beef, and scanners) illustrate the process described in a politicized-context model of innovation.
