Some half-dozen book-length volumes have been published on e-research and the related notions ‘e-science’, ‘cyberinfrastructure’, and ‘cyberscience’. There is, of course, a wider range of literature in journals and conference proceedings, and a good place to foray that material is a JCMC theme issue on e-science. A comprehensive bibliography is now being prepared and should be available by the autumn 2009; check back to a book website still under construction. In the meanwhile, the following titles provide a good introduction to this genre….
- Borgman, C. (2007). Scholarship in the Digital Age; Information, Infrastructure and the Internet. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
- Hine, C. (2006). New Infrastructures for Knowledge Production: Understanding E-science. Hershey, PA: IGI Global.
- Hine, C. (2008). Systematics as Cyberscience: Computers, Change and Continuity in Science. MIT Press.
- Nentwich. M. (2003), Cyberscience: Research in the age of the Internet. Vienna: Austrian Institute of Technology Assessment.
- Olson, G. M., Zimmerman, A., & Bos, N. D. (2008). Scientific Collaboration on the Internet. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
- Shrum, W., Genuth, Joel, & Chompalov, I. (2007). Structures of Scientific Collaboration. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
The most recent title in this genre takes a broader conceptualization of e-research / e-science than the others and strives to consider the changes ongoing in scholarship across the domains of the social sciences and humanities:
