Editorial Reviews

Review

must read book for scholars in collaboration studies and those involved in science policy
framework." -Sujit Bhattacharya, and Informetrics Newsletter
easy-to-read book invites us to rethink our prejudices and to abandon practices more
appropriate to the world as it was decades ago. All science policymakers should read it,
especially those who believe that science is a public good and who want high-quality, big
science research to be truly global." -Graham Farmelo, Education Supplement
"big science." Driven by strategic rivalries and fierce economic competition, wealthy
governments invested heavily in national science establishments. Direct funding for
institutions like the National Science Foundation and high-visibility projects, such as the
race to the moon, fueled innovation, growth, and national prestige. But the big science
model left poorer countries out in the cold. Today the organization of science is undergoing
a fundamental transformation. In T map the emergence of global science networks and trace the dynamics driving their growth.
She argues that the shift from big science to global networks creates unprecedented
opportunities for developing countries to tap science's potential. Rather than squander
resources in vain efforts to mimic the scientific establishments of the twentieth century,
developing country governments can leverage networks by creating incentives for top-notch
scientists to focus on research that addresses their concerns and by finding ways to tie
knowledge to local problem solving. T tasks.
