Our discussion will feature the new book, The Quantified Scholar by J.P. Pardo-Guerra (2022, Columbia University Press). This book examines modern British efforts to improve research through the development of quantitative metrics and metric-related incentive systems, and how this scheme altered the behavior of scientists and academic departments. The study stands as one example of modern sociology’s efforts to understand how the organization and incentivization of scientists affect the character of how scientists do their work and what kind of information gets produced.
Panelists scheduled to discuss this study and broader currents in the Sociology of Knowledge and Science will include:
