Question: Introduction: The Worldwide Triumph of the Research University and Globalizing Science
Answer: This volume of International Perspectives on Education and Society presents results of a multi-year, cross-national investigation of the influence of higher education development, specifically the research university, and science capacity-building on scientific knowledge production. Although there have been important descriptive reports of recent cross-national differences in scientific productivity, this study uniquely includes systematic analysis across an extensive historical scope, from 1900 to 2011. It analyzes countries of different size and histories of university institutionalization and scientific production. The global comparative project called “Science Productivity, Higher Education, Research and Development and the Knowledge Society” (SPHERE) produced a comprehensive longitudinal and worldwide dataset of scientific journal publications on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, plus health (hereafter STEM+) cataloged in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), customized and acquired especially for this project from Thomson Reuters’ (now Clarivate Analytics) Web of Science (formerly ISI Web of Knowledge).
