Crafting the group: Care in research management
Social Studies of Science
|October 20, 2015
Summary
Scientists view research leadership as caring craftwork, emphasizing group well-being and affective skills. This perspective informs responsible research and innovation discussions.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Research Management
- Scientific Practice
Background:
- Growing interest in enhancing responsible research and innovation (RRI).
- Need to understand scientists' perspectives on research management and leadership.
- Focus on talk and practices of scientists for RRI development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore how research leaders conceptualize their roles.
- To investigate the role of 'care' and 'craft' in scientific leadership.
- To connect scientists' everyday responsibilities to broader RRI frameworks.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative interview study.
- Conducted with group leaders and principal investigators.
- Data collected in Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Main Results:
- Research management and leadership are framed as 'caring craftwork'.
- Interviewees prioritize the research group as a central focus of responsibility.
- Effective leadership involves flexible deployment of affective skills to meet individual needs.
Conclusions:
- Notions of care are integral to scientific leadership practices.
- A culture of care in science has implications for RRI.
- Mundane understandings of responsibility among scientists can inform RRI discourse.

01:40Archival Research
17.6K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
