Professor Lee Eun of Pukyong National University Publishes Translation of 'The Science of Science'

Professor Eun Lee of the Department of Scientific Computing at Pukyong National University published the translated book Science of Science this month.

This book was written by Albert-L?szl? Barab?si, the founder of network science, and the emerging young complex systems researcher Dashun Wang, and was jointly translated by Professor Eun Lee and science communicator Noda Hae.

Science of Science introduces attempts to analyze science itself by compiling research materials that answer questions such as whether the development of science can be quantified, when a scientist’s prime occurs, and which science and technology investments yield benefits.

This academic field is called the “Science of Science,” and this book uses fascinating episodes and data-based research results related to it to explain in detail and simply the success and failure of science, how science works, and the career paths of individual scientists.

Science of Science.

Divided into four parts, the first part, “The Science of Careers,” answers questions like “Is there a quantitative pattern in the period when scientists make scientific breakthroughs?” and explores how to nurture scientists and how to recognize and reward their scientific achievements.

The second part, “The Science of Collaboration,” explores how scientists cooperate and work together as teams through literature in the field of the science of team science, while the third part, “The Science of Impact,” focuses on what the “producers” of science have created.

The fourth part, “Outlook,” discusses several emerging fields gaining attention in the scientific community and examines pioneering topics and subjects that will offer new perspectives in the near future.

It considers how the upcoming era of artificial intelligence will affect science and how humans and machines can collaborate to achieve fast and effective results that neither humans nor machines could accomplish alone.
