CSSP Electronic Working Paper Series on S&T Policy and Innovation Studies

ISSN: 0976-2051

The CSSP Electronic Working Paper Series (EWPS) is intended to explore and debate themes in science, technology and innovation studies. While drawing into active dialogue of leading scholars and practitioners who share similar concerns, this effort will reflect the academic priorities of the CSSP. 

Submissions for the CSSPEWPS are expected to provide a state-of-the-art understanding of the theme in question. We also visualise the CSSPEWPS submissions as marking the initial stages for papers or ideas that will potentially find publication in a refereed journal or as an article in a book.

We shall be grateful if the papers are referenced in the usual way. Each paper contains information with regard to appropriate citation and users are advised that these 'pre-publication' versions are subject to alterations in the refereeing process. We shall also be grateful for feedback from users. The works available here are the responsibility of the individual author or authors and do not necessarily represent the views of other CSSP researchers.

There is a short abstract for each paper and the complete papers are available to download as Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (pdf) files. You can download the Acrobat Reader from Adobe for free.
