THE COLLABORATIVE ERA IN SCIENCE - CAROLINE S W...

In recent years a global network of science has emerged as a result of thousands of individual
scientists seeking to collaborate with colleagues around the world  creating a network which
rises above national systems. The globalization of science is part of the underlying shift in
knowledge creation generally: the collaborative era in science. Over the past decade  the
growth in the amount of knowledge and the speed at which it is available has created a
fundamental shift¿where data  information  and knowledge were once scarce resources  they are
now abundantly available. Collaboration  openness  customer- or problem-focused research and
development  altruism  and reciprocity are notable features of abundance  and they create
challenges that economists have not yet studied. This book defines the collaborative era 
describes how it came to be  reveals its internal dynamics  and demonstrates how real-world
practitioners are changing to take advantage of it. Most importantly  the book lays out a guide
for policymakers and entrepreneurs as they shift perspectives to take advantage of the
collaborative era in order to create social and economic welfare.
