  • The Relationship between Forward and Backward Diversity in CORE Datasets

    In this paper we seek to better understand the relationship between forward diversity in the Cognitive Science and Educational Research literature, as well as what we call Border fields (i.e. those fields which exist at the intersection of Cognitive Science and Education Research). We find a clear and convincing relationship between forward and backward diversity…

  • Modeling study of knowledge diffusion in scientific collaboration networks based on differential dynamics: A case study in graphene field

    knowledge diffusion based on scientific collaboration is similar to disease propagation through actual contact. Inspired by the disease-spreading model in complex networks, this study classifies the states of research entities during the process of knowledge diffusion in scientific collaboration into four categories. Research entities can transform from one state to another with a certain probability,…

  • The Diffusion of Military Technology

    The impact of national defense research and development spending on overall innovation depends on the extent to which the knowledge and technologies generated by defense funding diffuse. This article uses an original data-set of patents assigned to defense-servicing organizations to investigate the diffusion of military technologies. Contrary to the predictions of the prevailing scholarship, I…
