商品描述

Advances in information and communication technology are transforming the way scholarly research is conducted across all disciplines. The use of increasingly powerful and versatile computer-based and networked systems promises to change research activity as profoundly as the mobile phone, the Internet, and email have changed everyday life. This book offers a comprehensive and accessible view of the use of these new approaches—called "e-research"—and their ethical, legal, and institutional implications. The contributors, leading scholars from a range of disciplines, focus on how e-esearch is reshaping not only the research process but also, and more important, its outcomes. By anchoring their discussion in specific examples and case studies, they identify and analyze a promising set of practical developments and results associated with e-research innovations.

The contributors, who include Tim Berners-Lee, Hal Abelson, Christine Borgman, Geoffrey Bowker, and Paul Edwards, explain why and how e-Research activity can reconfigure access to networks of information, expertise, and experience, changing what researchers observe, with whom they collaborate, how they share information, what methods they use to report their findings, and what knowledge is required to do this. They discuss both the means of e-Research (new research-centered computational networks) and its purpose (to improve the quality of worldwide research).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

資訊和通訊技術的進步正在改變學術研究在各個領域中的進行方式。越來越強大和多功能的基於電腦和網絡的系統的使用承諾著改變研究活動,就像手機、互聯網和電子郵件改變了日常生活一樣。本書提供了對這些新方法(稱為“電子研究”)及其道德、法律和制度影響的全面且易於理解的觀點。來自各個學科的領先學者聚焦於電子研究如何重塑研究過程以及更重要的是其結果。通過以具體的例子和案例研究為基礎,他們確定並分析了與電子研究創新相關的一組有前景的實際發展和結果。

參與者包括Tim Berners-Lee、Hal Abelson、Christine Borgman、Geoffrey Bowker和Paul Edwards等領先學者,他們解釋了為什麼以及如何電子研究活動可以重新配置對信息、專業知識和經驗的網絡訪問,改變研究人員觀察的對象、與誰合作、如何分享信息、報告研究結果的方法以及進行這些工作所需的知識。他們討論了電子研究的手段(新的以研究為中心的計算網絡)和目的(提高全球研究的質量)。
