Visualizing Scientific Discovery WorkshopSusan E. Cozzens, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThe development of visualization tools made possible by advances in cyber-infrastructure offer intriguing possibilities for tracking the impact ofinvestments in science. These possibilities range from tracing the path from basic research discoveries to patents and innovation, to the changing structure of scientific disciplines, and from examining the importance of social networks to the dispersion of scientific innovations to comparators of international performance in science.The potential contribution to NSF programs is far-reaching. Programofficers could use information from such tools to examine whether one particular type or level of investment has been better than another for achieving a particular short-term outcome, use the information to restructure or balance their funding portfolio, as well as to provide information to outside queries about the value of particular investments. In addition, NSF staff could use the tools to describe the impact of cross-cutting initiatives, such as cyber-infrastructure and ITR. NSF staff might also be able to expand by mapping the complex structures of multidisciplinary collaborations and using the information to identify members of scientifically dispersed communities as well as emerging leaders in science and innovation.However, before such a vision is achieved, many questions remain aboutthe robustness, validity and usability of the visualization tools. The workshop is designed to bring researchers from a broad range of disciplines to examine the open questions.Intellectual Merit. The workshop will explore the research frontier of anexciting area of the social sciences, surveying the current state of the art and identifying key issues for further development.Broader impacts. The workshop will increase the usability of results fromthis research area. It involves a postdoctoral scholar and doctoral student fully in the work, and thus contributes to human resource development in the science of science policy.

可视化科学发现研讨会E. Cozzens，佐治亚理工学院的开发可视化工具的开发通过网络基础结构的进步使您有可能追踪科学投资的影响。这些可能性包括从追踪基础研究发现到专利和创新的道路，到科学学科的不断变化，从研究社交网络的重要性到科学创新的重要性到科学领域的国际绩效的分散。程序或计划中的程序可以使用此类工具中的信息来检查一种特定类型或水平的投资是否比另一种类型的投资更好，以实现特定的短期结果，使用这些信息来重组或平衡其资金组合，以及向外部查询提供有关特定投资价值的信息。此外，NSF员工可以使用这些工具来描述诸如网络基础结构和ITR等跨切割计划的影响。 NSF的员工还可以通过绘制多学科合作的复杂结构来扩展，并使用这些信息来识别科学分散的社区以及科学和创新领域的新兴领导者。该研讨会旨在使研究人员来自广泛的学科，以研究开放问题。该研讨会将探索社会科学的一流领域的研究边界，调查当前的艺术状况，并确定进一步发展的关键问题。研讨会将提高该研究领域的结果的可用性。它涉及一名博士后学者和博士生的工作，因此为科学政策科学政策的人力资源发展做出了贡献。
