研究人员创造的科学和技术知识与十年前不同吗？十年后的科学研究会是什么样子？解决这些问题意味着从动态系统的角度看待科学。齐曼和吉本斯最近的两本关于科学社会体系的书，利莫日、诺沃特尼、施瓦茨曼、斯科夫和特罗接受了这一挑战，并认为研究事业正在发生变化。本文使用文献计量学数据来研究这些作者所确定的变化的程度和性质，以英国的研究为例。我们使用他们的理论框架，调查研究的五个特点，说是越来越普遍的，即应用，跨学科，网络，国际化和集中的资源。结果表明，研究可能变得更加跨学科，研究越来越多地在国内和国际网络中进行;但数据在应用和集中方面更加模糊。
Do researchers produce scientific and technical knowledge differently than they did ten years ago? What will scientific research look like ten years from now? Addressing such questions means looking at science from a dynamic systems perspective. Two recent books about the social system of science, by Ziman and by Gibbons, Limoges, Nowotny, Schwartzman, Scoff and Trow, accept this challenge and argue that the research enterprise is changing. This article uses bibliometric data to examine the extent and nature of changes identified by these authors, taking as an example British research. We use their theoretical frameworks; to investigate five characteristics of research said to be increasingly pervasive-namely, application, interdisciplinarity, networking, internationalization, and concentration of resources. Results indicate that research may be becoming more interdisciplinary and that research is increasingly conducted more in networks, both domestic and international; but the data are more ambiguous regarding application and concentration.
