Scientific Elite and Nobel Prizes
Political, economic, military, and religious elites have occupied sociological attention almost since the discipline's beginnings. This has not been so for the scientific elite despite its increasing social importance. The scientific enterprise is highly stratified with its elite's high standing determined principally by their contributions to scientific knowledge having been judged important by knowledgeable peers. Entry is determined by achieve…
Is “the time ripe” for quantitative research on misconduct in science
Misconduct in science is a timely and substantively important problem in the social study of science. But in the absence of comprehensive and reliable data needed for analysis, formidable obstacles stand in the way of its being studied quantitively. Accessible databases, including government data, are flawed, while undertaking new data collection presents its own problems. First, little is known about biases in official government reports. Second…

Recent trends in funding for the academic humanities & their implications
Excerpt] Never abundant, financial support for the “academic humanities” is now scarce. How scarce it is, both in absolute and relative terms, and whether the humanities now confront particularly hard times, are the pressing questions. To piece together an answer, we ask first how much the government, foundations, and private donors provide for the humanities now compared to estimates John D’Arms made in 1995, when he completed his important revi…

The Other Merton Thesis
The ArgumentWritten as one book, Science, Technology and Society in Seventeenth-Century England has become two. One book, treating Puritanism and science, has since become "The Merton Thesis." The other, treating shifts of interest among the sciences and problem choice within the sciences, has been less consequential. This paper proposes that neglect of one part of the monograph has skewed readers' understanding of the whole. Society and culture …

Norms and Deviant Behavior in Science
The current flurry of scholarly interest in fraud, plagiarism, and other forms of deviant behavior in science is most welcome. The subject is still under-studied, with only a handful of analytic and empirical investigations existing even now. Indeed, when I searched in the middle 1970s for pertinent literature on deviance in science, I soon discovered that since Charles Babbage's Reflections on the Decline of Science in England,' written 150 year…

Nobel Laureates in Science: Patterns of Productivity, Collaboration, and Authorship
Nobel laureates in science publish more and are more apt to collaborate than a matched sample of scientists. Interviews with 41 of 55 laureates and comparison of their research output with the output of the matched sample indicate that these patterns hold at every stage of the life-work-cycle. As laureates report and as their publications corroborate, they exercise noblesse oblige in arranging co-authorship in collaborative publications. Receipt …

Patterns of Name Ordering Among Authors of Scientific Papers: A Study of Social Symbolism and Its Ambiguity
With increasing scientific collaboration, visibility of individual role-performance has diminished. Ordering of author's names is an adaptive device which symbolizes their relative contributions to research. Interviews with Nobel laureates and comparisons of their name-order practices to those of other scientists suggests that this symbol is ambiguos and makes evaluation of individual role-performance difficult. A probability model of expected di…
Stratification in American Science
Although differential ranking in science is not readily visible to lay observers, American science is, in fact, sharply graded. Rewards and facilities for research are concentrated among relatively few investigators and organizations. This distinctive pattern of stratification, at odds with the egalitarian ethos of science, is not solely attributable to the distribution of talent in the scientific community. There is however a high correlation be…
