Meyer and Schroeder show that digital tools and data, used collectively and in distributed mode -- which they term e-research -- have transformed not just the consumption of knowledge but also the production of knowledge. Digital technologies for research are reshaping how knowledge advances in disciplines that range from physics to literary analysis. Meyer and Schroeder map the rise of digital research and offer case studies from many fields, including biomedicine, social science uses of the Web, astronomy, and large-scale textual analysis in the humanities. They consider such topics as the challenges of sharing research data and of big data approaches, disciplinary differences and new forms of interdisciplinary collaboration, the shifting boundaries between researchers and their publics, and the ways that digital tools promote openness in science.This book considers the transformations of research from a number of perspectives, drawing especially on the sociology of science and technology and social informatics. It shows that the use of digital tools and data is not just a technical issue; it affects research practices, collaboration models, publishing choices, and even the kinds of research and research questions scholars choose to pursue. Knowledge Machines examines the nature and implications of these transformations for scholarly research. 410 0$aInfrastructures series. 517 3 $aDigital transformations of the sciences and humanities 606 $aInterdisciplinary research 606 $aResearch$xTechnological innovations 606 $aCyberinfrastructure 606 $aInternet research 606 $aResearch$xInformation technology 606 $aOpen access publishing 606 $aCommunication in learning and scholarship$xTechnological innovations 606 $aResearch$xData processing 615 0$aInterdisciplinary research. 615 0$aResearch$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aCyberinfrastructure. 615 0$aInternet research. 615 0$aResearch$xInformation technology. 615 0$aOpen access publishing. 615 0$aCommunication in learning and scholarship$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aResearch$xData processing. 676 $a001.4/20285 700 $aMeyer$b Eric T.$f1966-$0850699 702 $aSchroeder$b Ralph 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910260595803321 996 $aKnowledge machines$91899477 997 $aUNINA
