Understanding the long-term emergence of autonomous vehicles technologies
Death by a Thousand 10-Minute Tasks
The article examines administrative workarounds in the context of university research administration. The empirical results from 116 semi-structured interviews with academic researchers with active National Science Foundation awards are framed by a “Rules Response” model positing relationships among rules compliance requests, administrative burden, red tape, and response choices, including compliance, appeal, rule bending, rule breaking, and work…
Robotic Bureaucracy
This Viewpoint essay examines university research administration and the use of software systems that automate university research grants and contract administration, including the automatic sending of emails for reporting and compliance purposes. These systems are described as “robotic bureaucracy.” The rise of regulations and their contribution to administrative burden on university research have led university administrators to increasingly re…
When Is Science Used in Science Policy? Examining the Importance of Scientific and Technical Information in National Research Council Reports
A frequent lament among researchers is that public policy makers should pay more attention to scientific and technical information (STI). If there is any single area where one might expect STI to be used in public policy making and agenda setting it is in science and technology policy. Many of the policy makers in science and technology policy are themselves scientists or researchers and presumably would prove especially receptive to STI. However…

Social science contributions compared in synthetic biology and nanotechnology
With growing attention to societal issues and implications of synthetic biology, we investigate sources of social science publication knowledge in synthetic biology and probe what might be learned by comparison with earlier rounds of social science research in nanotechnology. “Social science” research is broadly defined to include publications in conventional social science as well as humanities, law, ethics, business, and policy fields. We exami…
Building an innovation hub
Knowledge, Capabilities and Manufacturing Innovation
Roper S., Youtie J., Shapira P. and Fernández-Ribas A. Knowledge, capabilities and manufacturing innovation: a USA–Europe comparison, Regional Studies. This paper presents a comparative analysis of factors contributing to the innovation performance of manufacturing firms in Georgia (USA), Wales (UK), the West Midlands (UK), and Catalonia (Spain). Enabled by comparable survey data, multivariate probit models are developed to estimate how various t…
Teaching with Internet and Multimedia Technologies
This article discusses experiences in teaching an online seminar course on industrial modernization that combined conventional and distance learning methods with Internet-based communications and other multimedia technologies. Four versions of the seminar course have been offered, with each round using different combinations of teaching methods and technologies. The article discusses the seminar’s objectives, modes of teaching, technical design, …
Regulatory Reform and the Promise of New Telecommunications Infrastructure in New Jersey
The information superhighway is depicted as important to maintaining national competitiveness in a global economy. The concept is particularly evident in the state of New Jersey and its legislatively supported plan, Opportunity New Jersey, to deploy advanced telecommunications technologies to all homes and businesses in just 20 yr. This case study of the decision-making process behind the passage of the New Jersey legislation illustrates how tele…
Policy Strategies Along the Information Superhighway
Policymakers and politicians have become focused on information infrastructure as a means of achieving economic development. The authors have examined this question in order to assess the impact of publicly induced or financed infrastructure investment in advanced telecommunications as a strategy to spur growth. Their findings, based on case studies, shed new light on why some strategies are more promising than others. They conclude, however, tha…
