New Infrastructures for Knowledge Production: Understanding
E-Science offers a distinctive understanding of new infrastructures
for knowledge production based in science and technology studies.
This field offers a unique potential to assess systematically the
prospects for new modes of science enabled by information and
communication technologies. The authors use varied methodological
approaches, reviewing the origins of initiatives to develop
e-science infrastructures, exploring the diversity of the various
solutions and the scientific cultures, which use them, and
assessing the prospects for wholesale change in scientific
structures and practices. The book contains practical advice for
the design of appropriate technological solutions, and long range
assessments of the prospects for change useful both to policy
makers and those implementing institutional infrastructures.
Readers interested in understanding contemporary science will gain
a rich picture of the practices and the technologies that are
shaping the knowledge production of the future.
