- Hello all,
-
- As Dieter has pointed out on several occasions, I'm a historian of
- science who prefers to lurk rather than interact on this bboard.
- Has to do with theoretical issues in historical and sociological
- analysis--the "Hawthorne effect," which is sort of like the uncertainty
- principle: if the people you're studying are self-conscious about
- you studying them, then they change behavior.
-
- But, since he mentioned in his most recent bibliography my OTA report,
- I thought I'd give more direct information on how to get it:
-
- Write to "Knowledge Transfer,"
- SET Program
- OTA--US Congress
- Washington DC 20510-8025
-
- Request a copy of the report "Changing Culture of Research: Communication
- Technologies and Knowledge Transfer."
-
- Best wishes,
-
- -- Bruce
