Although there are many books on project management, few address the issues associated with scientific research. This work is based on extensive scientific research and management experiences and is designed to provide an introduction to planning and managing scientific research for the beginning researcher. The aim is to build an understanding of the nature of scientific research, and the way in which research projects can be developed, planned and managed to a successful outcome. The book is designed to help the transition from being a member of a research team to developing a project and making them work, and to provide a framework for future work. The emphasis of the book is on broadly applicable principles that can be of value irrespective of discipline. It should be of value to researchers in the later stages of Ph.D. work and Postdoctoral workers, and also for independent researchers.

Con motivo del X aniversario de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, el Instituto Antonio de Nebrija de Estudios sobre la Universidad organizó durante los días 25 y 26 de febrero de 1999 un encuentro titulado La universidad española a examen: Jornadas sobre investigación en la Universidad. En el encuentro celebrado participaron representantes de distintos ámbitos científicos, con el fin de ofrecer una visión más completa del panorama actual de la investigación en la Universidad, dejando constancia de las opiniones de la empresa, las universidades, las instituciones políticas, los organismos públicos de investigación. Este libro recoge sus resultados.

Work creates and transforms the social world. Its least predictable and most admired embodiment, artistic and scientific invention, seems to defy causal analysis and statistical regularities. Far more than the exploration of the conscious and infraconscious processes of individual inventiveness, the social ecology of creative work is what enables sociological analysis of work. Pierre-Menger’s analysis identifies three crucial characteristics: an unlimited differentiation of outputs, competiti...

El estudio del doctorado permite individualizar distintos niveles de análisis e interpretación. Por un lado, un nivel reglamentario, análisis de las distintas normas jurídicas que se han ido acumulando en el tracto cronológico de la universidad contemporánea. Otro nivel está constituido por lo que podemos llamar la práctica administrativa, es decir, el desarrollo material de esas disposiciones. Un estudio de los expedientes académicos, de los instrumentos burocráticos, de las memorias y una elaboración cuantitativa de los datos que éstos nos proporcionan. En fin, al enfrentarnos con el doctorado en derecho podemos optar también por otro nivel de interpretación, el relativo a la ciencia jurídica que se produce, pues se trata de un ciclo referido a la investigación (en la licenciatura hablaríamos de la ciencia jurídica que se difunde). El doctorado nos acerca por tanto a la vertiente científica de la universidad y así, en nuestro caso, a la ciencia jurídica del siglo XX español. Con su estudio no sólo conocemos un aspecto más de la universidad del periodo cronológico abordado, adquirimos también un instrumento para profundizar en el estudio de la ciencia que se produce. El catálogo que se ofrece permite además un estudio prosopográfico del periodo abordado.

The book, after introducing the concept of "digital scholarship" and the interpretative nodes connected to it, retraces the issues related to the implications of the social media usage in the scientific production workflow. A conclusive reflection shifts the attention from technology as a support to the research to tecnology as an object of the research, by introducing digital ethnography and delimiting the discussion area to a specific medium, the multi-user virtual worlds.

This open access book is an important reframing of the role of innovation in agriculture. Dr. Campos and his distinguished coauthors address the need for agriculture to feed a growing global population with a reduced environmental footprint while adapting to and mitigating the effects of changing climate. The authors expand the customary discussion of innovation in terms of supply driven R&D to focus on the returns to investors and most importantly, the value to end-users. This is brought to life by exploring effective business models and many cases from agricultural systems across the globe. The focus on converting the results of innovation in R&D into adoption by farmers and other end-users is its greatest contribution. Many lessons from the book can be applied to private and public sectors across an array of agricultural systems. This book will be of enormous value to agri-business professionals, NGO leaders, agricultural and development researchers and those funding innovation and agriculture across the private and public sectors. Tony Cavalieri, Senior Program Officer, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Hugo Campos, Ph.D., MBA, has 20+ years of international corporate and development experience. His distinguished coauthors represent a rich collection of successful innovation practice in industry, consultancy, international development and academy, in both developed and developing countries.”

Energy systems are rapidly transitioning towards decarbonization, thanks in part to innovative digital technologies and changing mobility demands. This open access book examines the decarbonization and digitalization transformation in the transport sector, with a particular focus on energy consumption. By studying historical trends and outlining future scenarios, the authors illustrate the evolution of energy consumption in the transport sector, compare alternative decarbonization strategies, and analyze digitalization trends and their effects on energy consumption. The book addresses a broad readership of both academics and professionals working in the energy and transport industries, as well as readers interested in the ongoing debate over energy, mobility and climate change.

This open access book is among the first cross-disciplinary works about Manufacturing 4.0. It includes chapters about the technical, the economic, and the social aspects of this important phenomenon. Together the material presented allows the reader to develop a holistic picture of where the manufacturing industry and the parts of the society that depend on it may be going in the future. Manufacturing 4.0 is not only a technical change, nor is it a purely technically driven change, but it is a societal change that has the potential to disrupt the way societies are constructed both in the positive and in the negative. This book will be of interest to scholars researching manufacturing, technological innovation, innovation management and industry 4.0.

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), combined with greater heterogeneity not only online in cloud computing architectures but across the cloud-to-edge continuum, is introducing new challenges for managing applications and infrastructure across this continuum. The scale and complexity is simply so complex that it is no longer realistic for IT teams to manually foresee the potential issues and manage the dynamism and dependencies across an increasing inter-dependent chain of service provision. This Open Access Pivot explores these challenges and offers a solution for the intelligent and reliable management of physical infrastructure and the optimal placement of applications for the provision of services on distributed clouds. This book provides a conceptual reference model for reliable capacity provisioning for distributed clouds and discusses how data analytics and machine learning, application and infrastructure optimization, and simulation can deliver quality of service requirements cost-efficiently in this complex feature space. These are illustrated through a series of case studies in cloud computing, telecommunications, big data analytics, and smart cities.
