Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Role of Students in Pioneering New Fields of Science and Technology: December 1991
A recent international survey of more than seven-hundred scientists working on the development of neural networks provides evidence that pioneering scientists are different in both their motivations to enter and their persistence to remain in the field.1 Pioneers are defined as those scientists who initiate and continue working in a field before it is widely recognized as significant, or perhaps even legitimate by their peers. In comparison to Other scientists, pioneers are more deeply influenced by the intrinsic intellectual appeal of the subject matter and are less influenced by the social dynamics of the research community. This conclusion holds when controlling for a scientist's age and years of professional experience. The results lend support to the contention that scientists' problem choices are determined by cognitive factors that are internal to science, while at the same time show the relevance of social factors operating broadly within a research community. Hence, pioneers may be an important factor to consider when sorting-out the long-standing debate over problem choice in science (for example, see Zuckerman, 1978; Gieryn, 1978; Ziman.
