Abstract

In this book we have mounted an argument about science and technology and offered a method for its study. The implications of the argument, which were developed in detail in early chapters, are reviewed for science studies and science policy studies in the first section of this chapter. The method, that of co-word analysis, which we see as being the pursuit of the qualitative argument by quantitative methodological means, is assessed in the second section.
