If Only We Knew: Increasing The Public Value of Social Science Research

Autor John Willinsky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2000
In If Only We Knew John Willinsky uses current social issues and historical precedents to demonstrate that the social sciences can and should contribute far more to public knowledge than they have in the past. We have the technologies, Willinsky demonstrates, and need only the determination to create a public resource out of social research that can extend democratic participation and self-determination, as well as improve research's focus and public support. If Only We Knew offers examples of why and how this is not only possible but necessary, in the face of knowledge-based economies and a withering public sector. This book inspires the public to demand far more of research; it also shows researchers how to deliver far more of knowledge's value to the public.

Recenzii

"...very ambitious. It is nothing less than a proposal to reorganize social science research in a new way, which would facilitate public access to it through the use of internet technology." -- Gil Eyal, Social Forces, June 2001
"In this remarkably thoughtful book, Willinsky explores how the wider dissemination to the general public of research results in the social sciences might lead to marked quality-of-life improvements." -- Ellen Gilbert, Rutgers Univ., 08/11/00
