Positive Effect

Previous studies have demonstrated that accessing external knowledge is important for organizations’ knowledge generation. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how the diversity and amount of organizations’ external scientific knowledge influence their scientific knowledge generation. We also consider the moderating effect of the redundant industrial scientific knowledge and the amount of technical knowledge from external technical cooperators. The social network analysis method is used to establish both ego- and industrial-scientific cooperation network, and ego-technical cooperation network in order to analyze the external scientific knowledge and technical knowledge. The empirical analysis is based on patent and article data of 106 organizations in the biomass energy industry (including firms, universities and research institutes), and the results show that organizations’ structural holes and degree centrality of scientific cooperation network have positive effects on their scientific knowledge generation. In addition, organizations’ degree centrality of technical cooperation network positively moderates the relationship between their degree centrality of scientific cooperation network and scientific knowledge generation. Furthermore, density of industrial scientific cooperation network decreases the positive effect of organizations’ structural holes on their scientific knowledge generation, while it strengthens the positive effect of degree centrality of scientific cooperation network on their scientific knowledge generation. Academic contributions and practical suggestions are discussed.

Central Factors

The subject of the politics of knowledge is not uniformly understood by both scholars and practitioners. Much work in this regard is based on Northern angled perspectives, which are deficient in abilities to capture the essence of African reality. On the basis of qualitative materials and interdisciplinary discourse analysis, this article’s focus is on the politicisation of university administration in South Africa. Taking cue from my previous works on this subject, I have identified and discussed additional three central factors which impair scientific knowledge generation and development in South Africa and Africa as a whole. Among others, these factors include bureaucratisation of academic administration, academic jealousy and gangsterism and shortage of academic role models. Theoretically and in order to foster epistemic justice, this study has drawn from Afrocentricity as an alternative contextual lens to paint a qualitatively rich picture of the phenomena under study.

AbstractThe process of scientific knowledge generation is accompanied by an on-going transformation of the corresponding scientific discipline. Scientists develop new theories and methods and discard old ones. Thus, scientific disciplines can be considered as a result of negotiations within the scientific community. The paper focuses on the following questions: Which theories, methods and sub-disciplines do scientists regard as part of a scientific discipline? How do scientists label and define these theories, methods and sub-disciplines? Which linguistic practices do scientists apply to authorize new scientific approaches? With recourse to “The Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact” by Ludwik Fleck as well as “Epistemic cultures” and “The manufacture of knowledge” by Karin Knorr-Cetina, the paper shows why it is reasonable to see science as a social practice. It also discusses the role language plays when linguists try to establish new approaches and focuses on the linguistic practices of labeling, locating and defininig.

Kaliningrad Region

The spatial aspects of the generation, application and further transfer of knowledge are increasingly attracting the attention of Russian and foreign researchers in social science and the humanities. Taking into account the importance of the geographical factor in the distribution of science and knowledge in general, it should be noted that the methods and tools of spatial analysis, for example, such a field of science studies as scientometrics, appear to be relevant. The research deals with the spatio-temporal distribution of scientific knowledge about the Kaliningrad region. The paper presents the results of the analysis of bibliometric data on the subject ‘Kaliningrad region’ in order to identify the centers of knowledge generation and the most relevant areas of research. The calculations are based on the methods of scientometric analysis of bibliographic data applied to determine the volume and distribution of scientific publications in time and space. Cartographic methods were also used. The bibliographic database of the scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.RU, the largest Russian electronic archive of scientific publications, was taken as a data source. The study has revealed the dynamics of scientific productivity, the main branches of scientific knowledge studying the Kaliningrad region, scientific centers, as well as their spatial distribution at the national level.

We reflect on the criticism that the methods in the natural sciences have been an object of and argue that these very methods, seen from the right perspective, are crucial to the progress of social science. We propose a knowledge generation framework that sets the minimum requirementsfor a claim to be considered scientific knowledge and sketchan ontology of the objects of study. We present science as an accumulating yet self-revising process and present examples in the social sciences.

BACKGROUND: The article analyzes the role of narrative in scientific cognition. AIM: The aim of the article is to investigate the epistemological status of the narrative in the process of knowledge production and legitimization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The methodology of the study is based on the semiotic concept of culture in the context of the pragmatic practice of justifying the results of scientific research. Narrative is viewed as a specific way of making sense of the world and a form of human existence in the process of knowledge generation through storytelling. The functions of narrative in the process of cognition are analyzed: generation and comprehension of knowledge, structural organization of cognitive experience, translation of individual cognitive experience into the cultural code of society. The thesis that scientific representations of the object of cognition are secondary to narrative models of understanding in the context of communicative practice of science is discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Conclusions are made about the necessity of explication in epistemology of value-semantic foundations of pragmatics of scientific knowledge, taking into account which the narrative nature of scientific knowledge should be explicitly presented in the methodological reflection of scientific research.
