Abstract:
A comprehensive review of studies that apply the network approach to
investigating the development of S&T identifies obstacles characterizing
current network research and impeding the revelation of its potential
fruitfulness in research assessment. It is argued that, in order to fulfill
its promise, network analysis needs to:
reformulate the 'quintessential bureaucratic evaluation question',; examine
more closely untidy networks; focus on the content of network links rather
than their formal aspects; and develop a concept of 'network effectiveness'
in terms of the network's ability to expand the uses of ST knowledge.
