Descrição: The book aims to capture the structure and evolution of science, the emerging field where scholars, science and science communication become themselves the basic objects of research. In order to capture the essence of such phenomena as diverse as the structure co-authorship networks or the evolution of citation diffusion patterns, such models can be represented by conceptual models based on historical and ethnographic observations, mathematical descriptions of measurable phenomena, or computational algorithms models. Despite its evident importance, the mathematical modeling of science still lacks a unifying framework and a comprehensive study of the topic. This volume fills this gap, reviewing and describing major threads in the mathematical modeling of science dynamics for a wider academic and professional audience. The model classes presented cover stochastic and statistical models, system-dynamics approaches, agent-based simulations, population-dynamics models, and complex-network models. The book comprises an introduction a foundational chapter that defines and operationalizes terminology used in the study of science as well as a review chapter that discusses the history of mathematical approaches to modeling science from an algorithmic-historiography perspective. It concludes with a short outlook to remaining challenges for future science models and their relevance for science and science policy. (DIPF/Verlag).
