Carla Basili - Information Policies in Science
Knowledge Sharing and Transfer in Scholarly Disciplines
Project rationale
Policy measures for scientific information have been and will
continue to be subject to periodic review and revision, as a function of
factors both internal and external to the science system. Different
models of knowledge circulation and access to information coexist, often
the one in contrast with the other.
The concept itself of "scientific information policies" tends to adapt
to new configurations of the scientific system, to emerging models of
knowledge transfer, the alternation of new agents, as well as to the
role and functions of innovative vehicles for the dissemination of
scientific results.
From an economic perspective, knowledge sharing and transfer are
increasingly the leitmotiv of the recommendations issued by the European
Commission to support the economic development of Europe.
In view of the above, the Information Policies in Science (IPS) project
intends to define a reference framework for analysing and comparing
information policies along multiple dimensions, and tailored to diverse
disciplinary contexts, given how much scholarly disciplines may differ
in their information habits and environments.
The research area of the Humanities constitutes a major focus of the IPS
project, since Humanities research is increasingly required today to
sustain its position within the Knowledge Economy paradigm.
