Albert-László Barabási Boeken
Albert-László Barabási is een vooraanstaand wetenschapper wiens werk ons begrip van complexe netwerken fundamenteel heeft hervormd. Hij onderzoekt hoe informatie, ziekten en andere fenomenen zich verspreiden via onderling verbonden systemen. Zijn onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat veel natuurlijke, technologische en sociale systemen een onderliggende structuur delen die hen in staat stelt efficiënt te groeien en zich aan te passen. Barabási probeert de algemene principes te ontrafelen die het gedrag van deze netwerken en hun impact op de wereld om ons heen beheersen.
This is the first comprehensive overview of the 'science of science, ' an emerging interdisciplinary field that relies on big data to unveil the reproducible patterns that govern individual scientific careers and the workings of science. It explores the roots of scientific impact, the role of productivity and creativity, when and what kind of collaborations are effective, the impact of failure and success in a scientific career, and what metrics can tell us about the fundamental workings of science. The book relies on data to draw actionable insights, which can be applied by individuals to further their career or decision makers to enhance the role of science in society. With anecdotes and detailed, easy-to-follow explanations of the research, this book is accessible to all scientists and graduate students, policymakers, and administrators with an interest in the wider scientific enterprise
