Abstract

"La recherche en biologie et dans toutes les sciences fondamentales a connu au cours des dernières décennies des transformations profondes. On a vu se développer des techniques extrêmement sophistiquées qui permettent désormais d'étudier de façon objective des questions qui relevaient encore de la science-fiction à la fin du siècle dernier. Tout ceci a permis de développer une connaissance approfondie de vastes sujets comme la biologie du cerveau par exemple. Cinquante ans d'évolution de la recherche en biologie présente un panorama de ces différents progrès techniques. Cependant, on a vu en parallèle s'accroître de nombreuses contraintes qui pèsent sur les chercheurs, une monétarisation de la recherche et corrélativement une pression croissante à toujours publier plus et dans des journaux plus prestigieux. Il en a résulté une certaine dégradation de qualité de l'activité de recherche. Cet ouvrage analyse cette évolution et propose des solutions pour y remédier."

Abstract

A good research paper is more than just a clear, concise, scientific expose. It is a document that needs to go beyond the science to attract attention. There are both strict and less definable norms for doing this, but many authors are unaware as to what they are or their use. Publishing is rapidly changing, and needs to be explained with a fresh perspective. Simply writing good, clear, concise, science is no longer enough-there is a different mind-set now required that students need to adopt if they are to succeed. The purpose of this book is to provide the foundations of this new approach for both young scientists at the start of their careers, as well as for more experienced scientists to teach the younger generation. Most importantly, the book will make the reader think in a fresh, creative, and novel way about writing and publishing science.This is an introductory guide suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional researchers in both the life and physical sciences.

Abstract

While there is no denying the importance of the printing press to the scientific and medical advances of the early modern era, a closer look at authorial attitudes toward this technology refutes simplistic interpretations of how print was viewed at the time. Rather than embracing the press, scientific authors often disliked and distrusted it. In many cases, they sought to avoid putting their work into print altogether.In Loath to Print, Nicole Howard takes a fresh look at early modern printing technology from the perspective of the natural philosophers and physicians who relied on it to share ideas. She offers a new perspective on scientific publishing in the early modern period, one that turns the celebration of print on its head. Exploring both these scholars' attitudes and their strategies for navigating the publishing world, Howard argues that scientists had many concerns, including the potential for errors to be introduced into their works by printers, the prospect of having their work pirated, and most worrisome, the likelihood that their works would be misunderstood by an audience ill-prepared to negotiate the complexities of the ideas, particularly those that were mathematical or philosophical.Revealing how these concerns led authors in the sciences to develop strategies for controlling, circumventing, or altogether avoiding the broad readership that print afforded, Loath to Print explains how quickly a gap opened between those with scientific knowledge and a lay public-and how such a gap persists today. Scholars of the early modern period and the history of the book, as well as those interested in communication and technology studies, will find this an accessible and engaging look at the complexities of sharing scientific ideas in this rich period.

Abstract

"Modern science is built on experimental evidence, yet scientists are often very selective in deciding what evidence to use and tend to disagree about how to interpret it. In The Matter of Facts, Gareth and Rhodri Leng explore how scientists produce and use evidence. They do so to contextualize an array of problems confronting modern science that have raised concerns about its reliability: the widespread use of inappropriate statistical tests, a shortage of replication studies, and a bias in both publishing and citing "positive" results. Before these problems can be addressed meaningfully, the authors argue, we must understand what makes science work and what leads it astray. The myth of science is that scientists constantly challenge their own thinking. But in reality, all scientists are in the business of persuading other scientists of the importance of their own ideas, and they do so by combining reason with rhetoric. Often, they look for evidence that will support their ideas, not for evidence that might contradict them; often, they present evidence in a way that makes it appear to be supportive; and often, they ignore inconvenient evidence. In a series of essays focusing on controversies, disputes, and discoveries, the authors vividly portray science as a human activity, driven by passion as well as by reason. By analyzing the fluidity of scientific concepts and the dynamic and unpredictable development of scientific fields, the authors paint a picture of modern science and the pressures it faces"

Abstract

L'objet de ce livre est d'étudier les étapes de la transmission des connaissances aux xviiie et xixe siècles et d'observer dans quelle mesure elle s'est effectuée dans et par la littérature. Le xviiie siècle s'est intéressé aux sciences, mais cet intérêt était souvent associé à des pratiques de sociabilité mondaine et aristocratique. Rendre la science « populaire », c'était être capable de la rendre aimable auprès des gens du monde. L'intérêt pour les sciences est évidemment aussi l'une des grandes caractéristiques de la pensée des Lumières. Or l'étude de la diffusion des savoirs permet de voir à quel point le grand rêve encyclopédique initié en 1751 par Diderot et d'Alembert, se prolonge tout au long du xixe siècle. La Révolution ne marque pas un temps d'arrêt dans ce domaine. Bien qu'il existe pendant la Terreur une méfiance à l'égard du monde savant, la Révolution est surtout le moment où l'utopie d'une pédagogie des sciences destinée à tous, telle que l'avaient rêvée certains philosophes des Lumières, devient réalité. Les écrits de Condorcet consacrant la prééminence des sciences sur les belles-lettres, la fondation de l'École polytechnique et du Conservatoire des arts et métiers, la création de l'Institut en 1795, tout converge alors pour installer le savant au cœur de la cité et lui faire jouer un rôle social de premier plan. Bientôt se développent des journaux et des collections spécialisés dans la diffusion des sciences et des techniques pour le grand public. Le cercle de la transmission s'élargit considérablement : les amateurs éclairés du xviiie siècle cèdent la place à tous ceux, enfants, femmes et autodidactes issus des élites ouvrières, qui considèrent que l'émancipation sociale passe par le combat contre l'ignorance. De cet élan, de la conviction que le progrès des sciences entraîne le progrès moral et conduit au bonheur de l'humanité, la littérature se fait largement l'écho. Au xviiie siècle, on en trouve les premiers signes chez des écrivains…
